Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31141

Received: 28/09/2018

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong

Representation Summary:

CAGE strongly supports SP6 but would like to note:

SP6 paragraph 3.46 - The impact on the natural and built environment is not always temporary as stated - heritage, habitat and landscape can be destroyed, and land surface is also frequently permanently lost. This is admitted in 3.51 and CAGE welcomes this candour. CAGE strongly supports the recording and publishing of heritage knowledge gains. Unfortunately, for concealed heritage assets, we only learn that which the present economy and methods allow, the opportunity for more advanced future investigation is lost forever.
