Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31180

Received: 28/09/2018

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong

Representation Summary:

Authority definition of unacceptable cumulative impact may NOT be shared by the public.

CAGE was dismayed to learn of West Deeping (a historic parish with Conservation area in mid Lincolnshire in an area of ancient settlement) which had lost 50% of its land surface to gravel extraction, with a further 15% now allocated and under threat. How this has escaped the definition of unacceptable cumulative impact is impossible to understand, nor how an adequate monetary value or compensation in kind could ever be made for this depredation.
