Neither the policy itself or its pre-amble actually identify which sites have been selected to fulfil the 12.597 mt. It would be helpful for readers of the document for the sites identified to be listed in the policy itself or the pre-amble, or a reference made to where the schedule of identified sites lies within the wider document.

The Company wishes to object to the inclusion of the following phrase within the policy: -
“…Mineral extraction for sand and gravel outside of allocated sites will be resisted by the Mineral Planning Authority unless the applicant can demonstrate:
a) There is an overriding justification and/or overriding benefit for the proposed extraction…”
In the Company’s view this does not sit at ease with the following quote from paragraph 5.3 of the Plan
“…Norfolk County Council will take a positive approach to minerals development and waste management development that reflects the presumption in favour of
sustainable development…”
To be consistent Policy MP1 should reflect the statement made by paragraph 5.3, i.e., that the Council will take a positive approach to minerals development that reflects the principles of sustainable development.
