Respondent: Campaign to Protect Rural England Nottinghamshire Branch

Representation Summary:

Averages do not necessarily indicate a future trend. As a matter of simple arithmetic a continuous downward trend over a period of years will have an average higher than the figure for the latest year. If that trend is expected to continue, the average would not be a suitable figure. The demand for new aggregates should be encouraged to drop by efforts to re-cycle existing materials etc.
