Representation ID: 30379

Received: 14/01/2018

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong

Representation Summary:

More emphasis is needed on the protection of those living close to the sites, rewording as follows: We recognise that the lifecycle of a quarry may be long in relation to the lifetimes of local residents and workers and that impacts on the local community are likely to be negative and extended. The quality of life and health of those living, working in, or visiting Nottinghamshire will be protected by all appropriate means, including site establishment, sensitive siting of plant, operating conditions and hours, HGV routing, early and staged restoration and appropriate after use.
