Q5 Do you think the same methodology (most recent average 10 year sales) should be used for each aggregate or is there merit in using different methodologies for different aggregates?

Q6 Do you think extensions to existing permitted quarries should be prioritised over new greenfield quarries

Respondent: Cromwell Parish Meeting
Each existing quarry must be considered on its merits with proper consideration being given to social and environmental effects. The opinion of the local community, who may have suffered years of disruption and difficulty, must be considered as a high priority. That said, it is certain that extending an existing quarry is easier and less controversial than starting a new one.

Q7 Should different approaches (new sites/extensions to existing permitted quarries) be adopted for individual mineral types?

We see no reason for a different approach. We see a real need to consider the transport of these bulky and heavy materials as a whole , so that a series of local developments do not add up to an impossible load on a deficient and defective road system.

Q8 How important is it to maintain a geographical spread of sand and gravel quarries across the County to minimise transport distances

Newark cannot stand any more traffic unless there is a very serious investment in the road network in and around the town.

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?

Respondent: Cromwell Parish Meeting
Barge transport is superficially attractive but it is only viable if the quarry and the customer have access to a suitable wharf or dock. The low value of this aggregate precludes any significant investment in such facilities, so the opportunities for barge transport are not likely to be great unless there is a very large contract involved. River dredging material has been delivered to Cromwell quarry for processing in the past.
