Representation Summary:
The policy as worded sets an unreasonably high requirement for mineral developments in a Core River Valley.
Change suggested by respondent:
The policy wording should firstly, be amended so that not all proposals need to result in an enhancement of the landscape, historic environment and biodiversity, to be acceptable. Instead proposals should be expected to result in one or at most two forms of enhancement. Secondly, it is unreasonable to require a mineral development to result in enhancement(s) during working and so this requirement should be dropped.
