Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 30721

Received: 28/08/2018

Respondent: Teri Browett

Representation Summary:

"...unless there is no available alternative and the need for development outweighs the landscape interest and the harmful impacts can be adequately mitigated;"

Here lies the problem. What can possibly outweigh the landscape interest? Harmful impacts can not be adequately mitigated. What does that even mean. What do you consider adequate?

Out countryside is under serious threat. It is the most important asset that we have. The needs of the environment and our dwindling species of wildlife that inhabit it should outweigh all else.

These proposals are driven by greed not need.
