Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31158

Received: 28/09/2018

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong

Representation Summary:

CAGE considers that 250m is a totally inadequate distance over which the impacts of a quarry are thought to be most acutely felt, and which serves as the distance within which residents and businesses are notified of a planning application. It is time that developers are required to include data on the number and nature of properties within 500m and 1km when evaluating the direct impact of a proposed site allocation. It should be recognised that indirect impacts can occur at much greater distance along the mineral export route.
