Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan
Representation ID: 30737
Received: 29/08/2018
Respondent: Charnwood Borough Council
In view of the fact that shale gas exploration and exploitation is an issue which has generated significant discussion both nationally and locally, and the references in the text to potential reserves in the south of the county, it is suggested that Nottinghamshire County Council ensures that the views of local authorities in Leicestershire, (in particular Leicestershire County Council as the Minerals Planning Authority) are taken fully into account in shaping the wording of this policy, and in the consideration of potential applications in the vicinity of the County boundary.
