Respondent: Gedling Borough Council
we are not aware of any other issues. GBC notes that NCC has received a planning application for an extension to the Bestwood 2 quarry for an additional 1.4 million tonnes. The County has consulted the Borough Council on the planning application and there is no need for further comment.

Q15 Should the Plan identify a specific replacement quarry (remote extension / new site) to Dorket Head clay pit or should a criteria based policy be developed?

GBC considers it is important to identify additional resource at the earliest opportunity through a plan led approach and GBC's preferred option would be for a site specific allocation for a remote extension/new site with its second preference being a sufficiently concise area of search. This would provide the most certainty for the both the operator, the local community and assist in forward planning at the Borough level.
GBC acknowledges the importance of the Ibstock Brickworks to the local economy and the local jobs it provides. The Issues and options document's text indicates exhaustion of the Dorket Head permitted clay resource around 2030 well before the end of the plan period. The Issues and Options document also states that apart from the proposed small southern extension there are unlikely to be any further options to extend the clay pit. Assuming the MLP is adopted in 2019 then the individual land bank for Dorket Head would be just over 10 years supply less than half the 25 year supply advised by National guidance.

At the recent examination hearings into the GBC Local Planning Document, GBC agreed to identify the Ibstock Brickworks as a protected employment site. In this context we would also wish to flag up our recent discussions with you where it was agreed that NCC as MPA would consider the inclusion of a policy in support of brick manufacture at the Dorket Head within its Minerals Local Plan (please see document EX/107 on the GBC LPD examination web site).

Q16 Is a criteria based policy the most suitable approach to cover the potential for new brick works and associated clay pits?
Representation ID: 30299

Given the importance of the brickworks, the location and sheer extent of the identified clay resource GBC would have concerns about relying on a criteria based policy.
