Comment
Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan
Representation ID: 30886
Received: 20/09/2018
Respondent: Cemex UK operations
The policy appears to afford the same weight to international, national, regional and local nature conservation sites and priority habitats and species yet paragraph 171 of the NPPF states that plans should actually distinguish between their hierarchy. Suggest these are separated out in the policy in recognition of the NPPF.
CEMEX also query the status of the comment about comprising 'planned future infrastructure' (paragraph 3.66) as this is vague and can potentially result in the sterilisation of mineral reserves.
