I object to the one third of the still Preferred Area of SIL02 being included in AOS E. Your document issued in the Preferred Options consultation Sept 2019, Proposed Mineral Extraction Sites states; SIL02 was not allocated due to the MOD objection reported in the Infrastructure and Development Select Committee to the NCC Cabinet (see at Pg 272. 10.1 point 2, of Cabinet agenda for 05 Aug 2019). It has not reverted to an Area Of Search as it cannot be one; it has already been searched. It has a willing landowner and a known resource of silica sand, therefore, 2 of the 3 criteria for being a Preferred Area have been met. Your third criteria for a Preferred Area is; 'an area likely to gain planning permission'. Are you going to grant planning permission even though MOD have objected to the site? You have informed us within the consultation documents that the area of SIL02 had not been allocated. You, as our County Council are being insidious with the residents and taxpayers of West Norfolk. I further object to AOS E as a whole site. This objection is opposed to the sites SIL02 and AOSE going forward for inclusion in your plan.
