Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong
2.3.1 CAGE believes that planning applications for all mineral sites require a Transport Assessment - if not CAGE wishes to know under what circumstances a TA would be considered unnecessary.
2.3.3 CAGE disagrees with the statement that quarries are normally located well outside urban centres and the assertion that operational life can be relatively short and total HGV numbers small. The proposed (but not allocated) site at Coddington was only 3miles from Newark, 350m from Coddington, scheduled to last for at least 20 years and discharged 200 HGV journeys/day onto the road network.
