MIN 51 Land west of Bilney road, Beetley 1,830,000 of sand and gravel
As stated in 2019 consultation, Breckland considers that road improvements would be required for this site due to traffic issues. However, it is noted that Highways considers access by Rawhall Lane is suitable.

Min 13 - Land west of Bilney Road Beetley Close to Min 51 included in 1,830,000 sand and gravel
As stated in the 2019 consultation, Breckland DC considers Road improvements would be required due to traffic issues. 8, 51 and 13 all very close to each other therefore a very large site. However, it is noted that Highways considers access by Rawhall Lane is suitable.

MIN 8 - land north of Stoney Lane Beetley
Breckland DC has stated in its previous response to the 2019 consultation that it was considered that this site was unsuitable due to excessive increase in traffic in the area and access issues and deliverability as the site is owned by a landowner and not a minerals aggregate operator. The information on this site proposal has been aggregated with the information for Min 51 and 13 so it is not clear whether these issues have been addressed in particular to this site.

Breckland District Council recognises the importance of having sufficient minerals and waste provisions within the county to support growth and broadly supports Norfolk’s Minerals and Waste Local Plan.
It has the following comments:
1. Nutrient Neutrality
In March 2022, Norfolk LPAs were alerted to the issue of the “unfavourable condition” of the River Wensum and Broads SAC leading to a requirement to mitigate nutrient pollution from development, farming and to upgrade wastewater treatment works. Nitrogen and Phosphorus affects both water and air quality and Breckland District Council considers that the location of waste facilities particularly from agricultural waste and composting and its impact on the River Wensum and Broads SAC should be carefully considered.
