Insufficient priority is given to the long term value of good quality agricultural land compared to the short term value of aggregates. Agricultural land in areas not at risk from climate change should be conserved to produce food over the coming centuries. Aggregate extraction should be concentrated in coastal and low lying inland areas that are likely to be sterilised by ocean flooding and surges due to climate change. See attached flooding maps.
