Representation Summary:

M25 - S4.1
This states that "Mineral development and Waste Management within Norfolk will be undertaken that minimise and mitigate their contribution to climate change. The plan acknowledges that gravel extraction is climate heavy. MS08 states "to ensure mineral development addresses the impacts it will have on climate change by minimising greehouse gas emissions during the winning ,working and handling of minerals,providing for sustainable patterns of minerals transportation where practicable and integrating features consistent with climate change mitigation and adoption into design and restoration and aftercare proposals" MIN25 is particularly climate change heavy since as the sand and gravel is quarried which releases 100% carbon,but only the gravelis required and transported to the Breedon Norton Subcourse Quarry.
Additionally the Breedon proposal is to return the site to the landowner for an unspecified use.This is inconsistent with a positive climate change aftercare proposal
