Minerals Local Plan Issues and Options consultation

Q3 Are the above strategic issues appropriate? Are there others we should consider?

Representation ID: 30486

Received: 22/02/2018

Respondent: Bawtry Town Council

Representation Summary:

Minimise the adverse impacts on Nottinghamshire's communities by protecting their quality of life and
health from impacts such as traffic visual impacts,noise and dust."
The impact should not be limited to adverse impact on Nottnghamshire's communities but also neighbouring areas. We are concerned about minimising lorry movements through our town and we find that as we are close to Nottinghamshire boundary planning applications for minerals can still impact heavily on ourselves. (e.g the new sand and quarry extraction application at Barnby Moor that will lead to up to 100 lorries per day going through our town)

Hi Steven
Thank you for the prompt reply and the courtesy of allowing us to still comment! i apologise that my
previous comments weren't question linked!
In response to Question 3 we wanted to say Point 3. Minimise impacts on communities which reads
"Minimise the adverse impacts on Nottinghamshire's communities by protecting their quality of life and
health from impacts such as traffic visual impacts,noise and dust."
We would like to state that we consider that the impact should not be limited to adverse impact on
Nottnghamshire's communities but also neighbouring areas. We are concerned about minimising lorry
movements through our town and we find that as we are close to Nottinghamshire boundary planning
applications for minerals can still impact heavily on ourselves. (e.g the new sand and quarry extraction
application at Barnby Moor that will lead to up to 100 lorries per day going through our town, even though
we are in Yorkshire)
I would be most grateful if these comments could be included in the consultation replies.
Thank you for details of the process. i was aware that the Issues and Options consultation was an early part
of developing a new plan but wanted some details of further steps/consultations and when the plan would be
ready for examination that you have answered for me!
ind Regards
Angela Harrison
Clerk to the Council
Bawtry Town Council
