Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Pre-Submission Publication

Representation ID: 99316

Received: 15/12/2022

Respondent: Norfolk Gravel

Agent: David L Walker Ltd

Representation Summary:

Norfolk Gravel has secured planning consent (ref FUL/2019/0001) to recover approximately half of the mineral resource identified in this allocation profile. This planning consent was granted by the members of the council’s planning committee, as it represented as a sustainable and logical extension to the current site utilising the processing and access infrastructure (including access arrangements) of the latter. As such 1 million tonnes of the 2 million tonne allocation already forms part of the sand and gravel landbank.
The planning consent was implemented in early 2021, and the extraction operations are within the allocation area. It is therefore proposed that the initial bullet points under the site specific content take this into account.
Norfolk Gravel would also question the need to cover the northern part of the allocation area as this is now operable. Norfolk Gravel would be happy to provide further plan work to support this aspect should the council requires
