MIN 12 - land north of Chapel Lane, Beetley
Representation ID: 93238
Received: 15/10/2019
Respondent: Middleton Aggregates Ltd
Agent: Stephen M Daw Limited
East Bilney Quarry is a well established Quarry and has operated without significant objection for many years. The Allocation would serve as an extension to the Quarry once reserves within the existing area are exhausted. The Sand and Gravel deposit is of a high quality containing a good proportion of stone. All mineral would continue to be conveyed to the Plant Site for processing and sale with the land restored back to agriculture at the lower level but with landscape and biodiversity enhancements. The proposer can confirm that all the requirements of Specific Site Allocation Policy MIN 12 will be addressed in a future Planning Application. On behalf of Middleton Aggregates Limited I would ask for this site to remain as an Allocation.

Specific Site Allocation Policy MIN 06 (Middleton)
Representation ID: 93240
Received: 15/10/2019
Respondent: Middleton Aggregates Ltd
Agent: Stephen M Daw Limited
Although supporting the general Allocation of MIN 06 the Site proposer would request the eighth bullet point of the Site Specific Allocation Policy is deleted. The wording of this Policy is too vague and open ended. In any event should any issue with capacity at the A47/East Winch Road junction be identified in a Transport Statement, then a contribution can still be sought through the wording of the ninth bullet point.

MIN 19 & MIN 205 - land north of the River Nar, Pentney
Representation ID: 93241
Received: 24/10/2019
Respondent: Middleton Aggregates Ltd
Agent: Stephen M Daw Limited
This Site should be Allocated as the proposed restoration will result in a positive enhancement to the landscape in accordance with the requirements of Core River Valley Policy.
Enhancements will come about as follows:
a) The River Nar - a future planning application area will encompass the adjoining stretch of the R Nar and be accompanied by advice from the Norfolk Rivers Trust on recommended works to alter the shape of the river banks and river channel to improve both the landscape appearance and biodiversity value of the River. All such improvements can be carried out once planning permission is approved and ahead of extraction commencing around 2025.
b) Preservation of Oaks - any working and restoration scheme will look to preserve the integrity of several Oak trees positioned on the boundary between MIN 19 and MIN 205. These Oaks are significant in the landscape. A scheme prepared to protect these Oaks is being submitted under separate cover.
c) Restoration Scheme - restoration will be to mixture of small-scale areas of open water with fringing reeds, wet grassland and wet woodland. Such a scheme will be more in keeping with the appearance of the historical river valley flood plain prior to the engineering of levee banks alongside the R Nar and artificial drainage of the surrounding area. The scheme will also be a improvement to the currently approved scheme for MIN 19. Whilst this scheme which was prepared in the mid 1990's may be in keeping with nearby woodland, that woodland represents only a relatively modern man-made feature in the landscape. The proposed scheme is a return to a natural and more traditional landscape. A detailed restoration scheme together with landscape and restoration notes is being submitted under separate cover. Note the scheme includes an additional area of land north of the site access track. This area was previously worked for mineral and then backfilled with Sand which was unsaleable at the time. However this Sand is now economically viable to work and to sell.
On behalf of Middleton Aggregates Limited I would ask for MIN 19 to remain as an Allocation and for MIN 205 to be made a new Allocation.
