Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan
Representation ID: 31171

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong
CAGE strongly supports the policy DM6, which has been substantially improved compared to earlier drafts, but it believes the policy should be stronger still, particularly for non-designated heritage assets. The demonstration of overwhelming public benefit for a minerals site is not transparent, and much of the compensation and mitigation is in the distant future at restoration, and consequently uncertain.
