Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31116

Received: 28/09/2018

Too often the benefits are accrued away from the development whilst the burdens fall most heavily on local communities. Quarry lifetimes, although described as 'temporary', are often long in the lifespans of people.
