Calculation of need and aggregate provision using 10year LAA average is flawed. This makes no allowance for future demand or the closure of sites. The policy will encourage the increased importation of minerals from adjacent counties - is this the desired policy of Nottinghamshire?
The 32.30mt provision for sand and gravel is considered a gross under-estimate due to future predicted major infrastructure (eg HS2) and the growing number of house building projects within the county.
