Barton on fabis should not be considered for sand/gravel extraction due to proximity to attenborough nature reserve (site of scientific interest) and the river trent. Attenborough is a major visitor attraction and should not be put at risk. Land is a sacrificial flood plane during high river levels, with the uk's biggest flood protection barrier on the opposite bank.
Shale gas extraction should not be considered in a long term strategic plan, banned in Scotland and likley to be banned in the uk if the opposition government elected, renewable energy sources will inevitably superceed fossil fuels due to global regulation.
