Norfolk Gravel would wholly support the wording of paragraphs M69.9 to M69.13 inclusive and would reaffirm that as part of the current planning application the company is developing long term plans to sustainably manage the biodiversity and geo-diversity. In relation to paragraph M69.11, however Norfolk Gravel would point out that rights of way diversions will be required, and some of these have already been secured as part of the working of the minerals consented under FUL/2019/0001.

In relation to Paragraphs M69.14 - M69.16 inclusive there is no justification for the inclusion of criteria specific to these designated sites. The operations (current or proposed) have no potential whatsoever to impact on the identified SSSI’s (a point recognised in the draft wording itself), and therefore it is proposed that the inclusion of such matters is neither justified nor effective.

Norfolk Gravel would support the Vision promoted by the council in section 4 of the document. However, the company would like to see emphasis placed on the value and significance of minerals and waste development in providing a diverse and affluent rural economy consistent with Paragraph 84 of the NPPF (2021).

Norfolk Gravel is pleased to see the council’s commitment to Sustainable Development, but remains disappointed to note that the council haven’t provided a clear policy in this regard. Such an approach is clearly not consistent with the NPPF nor the attendant Planning Practice Guidance. The council already has a policy in this regard (SD1 of the Mineral Site Allocations DOD 2017) which could be easily translated into this emerging policy document.
