Respondent: Campaigners Against Two Silica Sites

Representation Summary:

MW2 - Development criteria. The policy lists 13 subjects, listed as a-m, that mineral development or waste management development should not have an unacceptable impact upon, including cumulative impact. In the case of AOS E and the area of SIL 02 that it still contains, only the subjects in points c. and j. may be able to be mitigated against. The other 11 points could not be mitigated against satisfactorily, especially the bird-strike risk already highlighted by the MOD (DIO) objection, and they would amount to a cumulative impact that isn't acceptable in any situation.
