Minerals Local Plan Issues and Options consultation

Representation ID: 30394

Received: 14/01/2018

Respondent: Gotham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Minimising the transport distances involved is important but it must be clearly assessed. Having a quarry next door to a development would clearly help that particular development but you have got know how much of the output is involved. It is firstly disappointing that reference is made to a potential quarry at Barton in Fabis given the opening comments that states should not be considered at this stage. However we would suggest that the output of a quarry at Barton in Fabis would far exceed the requirement in the immediate vicinity.
