Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31178

Received: 28/09/2018

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong

Representation Summary:

Cumulative impacts are not confined to the area within Nottinghamshire but need to consider factors up to 20 miles outside county borders including mineral safeguarded areas, existing and allocated mineral sites and their export routes, landscapes, local roads and regional freight routes, river and river crossings etc. Too often in the supplementary reports it states that cumulative effects have not yet been examined. Cooperation between neighbouring authorities on Minerals Plans needs to be made transparent to show a proper concern for those living on the county borders.
