Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31031

Received: 26/09/2018

Respondent: Mr James Royston

Representation Summary:

I wish to OBJECT to proposed site MP2s Mill Hill nr Barton in Fabius. Council,s own assessment identifies that this site is most damaging in operational phase and one of top three most damaging in long term. Location would impact on two SSSIs and five SINCs, one of which would be destroyed altogether, and would be very close to and area designated as ancient woodland. I understand that Natural England, RSPB and Notts Wildlife Trust has also objected for similar reasons. The Council has also not justified any "wholly exceptional reasons" as required by the National Planning Policy Framework.
