We support the statement that "minerals developments will be supported" in the Green Belt. However, the definition of development needs to be clear. Does this relate to extraction areas only or can this include extraction area and the associated processing plant and screening/ landscaping required for any new quarry.
What is "openness". Does this have a time element as the opennes may be impacted for the duration of the operations but not as part of the restoration.
What are " very special circumstances". Is allocation in plan very special circumstances.
