Comment:
As stated in our previous representations, it would also be useful to highlight that between
the main towns and ‘small villages’ a number relatively large towns and villages exist across
the County. This is a particular issue when considering how to plan the provision of services
(including waste) in rural areas.
The map on page 23 still does not appear to show the A46 Newark bypass.
Recommended Change:
Include text to highlight that between the main towns and ‘small villages’ a number relatively
large towns and villages exist across the County.
Update the map on page 23 to include the A46 Newark bypass.

Section 4 – Overview of the Plan
We would welcome the incorporation of a section on the historic environment of the area. How has Nottinghamshire and
Nottingham development over time and how does this need to be considered as part of planning proposals for the future?
What are the key heritage assets, historic environment features, historic landscapes, contributions of the past industry/
economy on the development and landscape of the area, how will the local archaeology need to be considered when planning
for future waste facilities? An understanding of the historical context of the area and clear objectives relating to the historic
environment will assist in creating a positive strategy for the historic environment, as required through the National Planning
Policy Framework (NPPF, Paragraph 190).
