The Plan does not give sufficient weight to the provision of a local supply of aggregate for the Great Yarmouth Urban Area. As drafted, the Plan would not allow a future extension of Welcome Pit, Burgh Castle as a non-allocated site, even though this is the only source of land-won aggregate within 10 miles of Great Yarmouth. This stance will result in unnecessary transportation costs; higher carbon emissions and is completely contrary to mitigating climate change, an environmental objective of the NPPF (para 8.c)) and the aim of the Climate Change Act 2008 to reduce UK greenhouse gas emissions.
