Respondent: Campaigners Against Two Silica Sites
MP6 - Whilst MP6 is about cumulative impacts from other concurrent mineral extraction sites, (we are surrounded by mineral sites and plants in West Norfolk already), and Middleton aggregates is just across the river Nar, it fails to address the other potential cumulative impacts in an area, e.g. a close military airbase with the comings and goings of HGV in the build-up of the base to support the new F35 and the daily deliveries needed to support our national security or other industrial process, plus the persistent jet noise. Neither does it mention the cumulative impacts mentioned on pg 31 at 8.46 - amenity, the economy, the natural and built environment, the local road network and the period of time for working an area if it is to be prolonged. This policy requires a complete rewording to include the points missed from pg 31. For AOS E and the overlap of SIL 02 that it includes, MP6 fails sustainability objective SA3, SA4 and SA9 on pg 9 of the Sustainability Appraisal Report - Part A- Scoping (Oct 2015).
