Minerals Local Plan Issues and Options consultation

Q10 Is it economical to transport mineral by river barge and if so should proposed quarries with the potential for moving sand and gravel by river barge be prioritised over other proposals?

Representation ID: 30328

Received: 11/01/2018

Respondent: Caythorpe Parish Council

Representation Summary:

It is a major concern that heavy goods vehicles would inadvertently use the Caythorpe and Hoveringham Roads when transporting materials from the A6097 to pre-cast concrete product companies situated within the Hoveringham industrial area . The A6097 is already an extremely busy road and we question it's capacity to accommodate increased traffic volumes caused by quarrying activities .
Given the above , we would insist that a vehicle weight restriction is placed upon the Caythorpe and Hoveringham roads . Further , we strongly support the notion of transporting all materials by river barge , a form of transport which is sadly under utilised.

Flooding
Caythorpe is situated within flood zones 1 , 2 and 3 and any activity which would increase flood risk would be vigorously opposed.
Environmental
Caythorpe is effectively downwind of the A6097 and therefore likely to be affected by quarrying activities , in particular dust and noise .
We trust that you will take our concerns into account when considering the next stage of the New Minerals Local Plan .
