Respondent: Natural England

Representation Summary:

Support the requirements listed under this policy with regard to the AONB landscape and adjacent Briton's Lane Gravel Pit SSSI. In particular, restoration proposals need to be sensitive to the Cromer Ridge in terms of the proposed gradients. Removal of the strip of land that lies between the existing quarry and the proposed extension would need to be undertaken carefully and in ways to minimise the resulting impacts that would arise from the removal of wooded areas on the landscape character, biodiversity and users of public rights of way within the AONB.
