Representation ID: 94705

Received: 27/10/2019

Respondent: Mrs LDT Gallagher

Representation Summary:

MP1 -Flawed in respect of silica sand as it assumes that clear glass recycling will not improve, which would reduce the amount of CO2 produced to extract silica sand and during the manufacture of new glass with use of additional high quality cullet. This conflicts with MSO3 and NPPF Guidance (Ch 17, para 204.b) that states to look to recycle before extracting raw material.
