Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan
Representation ID: 31172

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong
CAGE agrees that the strongest protection must be afforded to the most valuable sites and that no sites should be destroyed without careful consideration and treatment. However, the knowledge gained of the Iron Age in the Trent and Idle Valleys from minerals extraction and the warranted and extraordinary protection of the South Muskham area show just how much is at stake and what has already been (and will continue to be) destroyed. Any knowledge gained from minerals extraction should be shared with the community and re-invested in the sense-of-place.
