Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Draft Waste Local Plan January 2022
Representation ID: 790

Respondent: Mick George Ltd
We also support Strategic Policy SP4 in relation to inert waste recovery sites. The constraints on the development of such sites, however, do not appear to reflect the confidence of earlier parts of the plan that recovery will be capable of dealing with the vast majority of waste soils. We are grateful for the acknowledgement in paragraph 7.27 of some priority for the restoration of suitable mineral sites by infilling with waste, even though as the text says, “the majority of former quarries and
colliery sites have now been restored”. We also support the text of paragraphs 7.29‐7.35 dealing with an explanation of the conditions under which inert waste recovery operation will be acceptable.
Representation on behalf of Mick George Ltd to the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Draft Waste Local Plan.
See Representations.
These representations are submitted by Mick George Ltd (MGL), which is one of the largest waste
and aggregates companies in the East of England and in the East Midlands. This representation is
designed to support the promotion of Dorket Head as an inert landfill site and to make more general
comments about the strategy proposed to be adopted in the Waste Local Plan. The company has
been unable to participate in the local Plan process before now as it has only recently acquired the
rights to develop the site.
