The proposed Coddington quarry would cause gridlock in the Coddington area. It already suffers from heavy traffic due to the convergence of A1/A17/A46. The A17 is the main route to South Lincs and Norfolk for lorries and caravans.
Newark Showground currently causes congestion, this affects the area and travel into Newark and impacts onto the A1 slip road, causing quequing on the A1 itself which is dangerous.
Beckingham Road and Drove Lane in Coddington, in particular turning Drove Lane into a "rat run". This will reduce the quality of village life.

9. No - noise and vibration seems potentially lost in the 'Sustainable Communities' section. The likely impact in this respect needs to be assessed strategically for each area of resource.
10. Yes.
11. No - as for question 9, a strategic approach needs to be taken to how product could possibly be delivered from each broad area of resource based upon its accessibility characteristics, taking into account points (for example Kelham Bridge) that must be used for a given resource area and market served.

Page 37. Under 'How can the Plan influence this issue'? In respect of Soil the conflict between biodiversity improvements and loss of productive land needs to be recognised.

Page 38. Under "How can the Plan influence this issue? In respect of Economy and Employment there needs to be a reference to "planned" in order to tie in with existing Local Plans and other plans and policies.

Q9 response- Due to the narrow approach earlier on in scoping, the sustainability issue identified is skewed towards listed buildings at risk and potential Trent Valley archaeology when, due to the nature of mineral extraction it is likely that Scheduled Monuments, Registered Parks and Gardens, Conservation Areas and non-designated heritage assets in the County are likely to be mostly affected by the Plan, in particular Creswell Crags in respect of possible dolomite extraction.

Q10 response- Historic England agrees that the Historic Environment and Cultural Heritage has a moderate/high significance to the Plan. The word 'affect' should be replaced with 'harm'.
