Preferred Options consultation document

Representation ID: 94709

Received: 27/10/2019

Respondent: Mrs LDT Gallagher

Representation Summary:

The local community suffer the losses of amenity for the benefit of the mineral operator, the landowner and kudos for the MPA, with a mineral extraction site for many years and even generations being blighted. Neither does it address the timescale that some sites may be actively quarried before greater public access is potentially achievable. Finally, it does not specify that the restoration will be for the benefit of the local community and not a fee paying public for a development by a private company.
