Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 30946

Received: 18/09/2018

Respondent: Mr M Spooner

Representation Summary:

I object to the proposed sand and gravel quarry at Barton in Fabis MP2s Mill Hill near Barton in Fabis.
Your policy aim to transport sand and gravel by river barge cannot apply here. Shelford would be a more suitable site which you have now removed.
The shelford site is in your council leader, Key Cutts ward (a budding dictator perhaps) which smacks of unfair tactics.
We had enough of heavy transport when the tram lines were constructed and do not want any more.
Besides your poorly chosen site is in the greenbelt. Your councillors should be ashamed of themselves.
