Minerals Local Plan Issues and Options consultation

Representation ID: 30244

Received: 09/01/2018

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong

Representation Summary:

Table 2 Demand for minerals over the plan period overstates the shortfall for sand and gravel over the plan period by 3 million tonnes.

The difference between the requirement for the plan period of 32.3 million tonnes less the existing permitted reserves of 17.5 million tonnes should be 14.8 million tonnes, not the 17.8 million tonnes reported in Table 2.

This error in arithmetic should be corrected throughout the document.
