Haddiscoe site has half the tonnage of material based on Breedon's own figures, so is not the most suitable site proposed.
The site would have a negative impact on the tourism which Haddiscoe and the surrounding area enjoys. Haddiscoe is an unspoilt and naturally beautiful area, it's peaceful and home to much wildlife. This attracts a range of visitors to the area who stay in holiday homes and use other local services whilst on holiday. The tourism industry indirectly supports housekeepers, electricians, plumbers, maintenance, caterers, pubs, restaurants, cafes and other establishments. This is an important part of the local economy and a site such as this would be detrimental to this.
Soundness test: Not consistent with national policy.
Based on the projections, Haddiscoe does not seem to be required. Together with the negative impacts on the area and local economy it should not be considered.
