Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31128

Received: 28/09/2018

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong

Representation Summary:

CAGE is glad that the restorations in the Collingham area are to be managed as a wetland bird habitat of national status, worthy of EU recognition. Langford N, S&W, the allocated extensions to this mineral site will reinforce this ambition. The site is regularly visited by local walking groups, however, not all sites can hope to achieve this quality of restoration or enjoy a viable future as a nature or water-sport leisure amenity.
