Initial Consultation document

On behalf of my client I would wish to object to the initial conclusion that the site is unsuitable for allocation. This objection is supported by the submission of a separate document prepared by Create Consulting Engineers Limited dated 19 July 2018 entitled 'Proposed Extension to Welcome Pit - Highways Statement'. The document details pre-application contact between the site proposer and the County Highways Authority which led to the conclusion that with suspension of skip, lorry and plant hire operations, coupled with improvements set out in a Transport Statement, that the CHA 'would not be able to substantiate a highways related objection to the continuation of the quarry (extraction) operations.' The initial conclusion should therefore be altered to be consistent with this pre-application advice, especially as the site is acceptable in all other respects.
