Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 30892

Received: 20/09/2018

Respondent: Cemex UK operations

Representation Summary:

CEMEX strongly object to the provision of aggregate set out in Policy MP1 as the figure of 32 million tonnes arrived at by taking a 10 average of sales does take account of future demand going forward. It appears to CEMEX therefore that the plan seriously underprovides for needs of the economy which will as a consequence result into potentially unsustainable imports into the county.

In addition, it is noted that the policy makes provision for the maintenance of a landbank of 7 years yet the provision is just for the plan period.
