Minerals Local Plan Issues and Options consultation

Representation ID: 30201

Received: 05/01/2018

Respondent: Susan Leuden

Representation Summary:

You should be sure to protect vulnerable sites and those of an historical importance.
Mineral extraction should not take place near towns or countryside where damage to the attractiveness of the area is jeopardised, as we need to protect our landscape for future generations.
Open countryside and woodlands make a huge contribution to the mental and physical health of the population, and people in towns also need to be able to enjoy spending time in unspoilt country areas.
Avoid extending mineral extraction where it will impact badly on small hamlets and villages.
