M25.1 Of all the Allocated sites, MIN25 has by far and away the highest number of residential properties within 250 m of the proposed workings (with the exception of MIN40 which is an extension of an existing quarry). All of the other sites have less than 20 residental properties within 250 m of the proposed working area. The MIN25 site, unlike more suitable locations ,is right in the middle of a village. This is quite contrary to your own Minerals Strategic Objectives ,in particular MSO7 which states “To ensure potential impacts on the amenity of those people living in proximity to minerals development are effectively controlled, minimised and mitigated to acceptable levels”. This is unsound and not effect
M25.1 does not address light pollution on in the winter months, at one of the highest elevations in the village. This is contrary to Section 2.4 of this document. This is unsound and not positively prepared.
The allocation of this site is unsound and ineffective.
