Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Question 11: What do you think of the draft site specific sand and gravel allocations?

Representation ID: 30971

Received: 24/09/2018

Respondent: Rotherham Metropolitan borough Council

Representation Summary:

Rotherham Council supports the proposed sand and gravel allocations. It is noted that the Minerals Plan identifies site allocations in the north of the County which could potentially continue to supply South Yorkshire.

Rotherham Council will continue to engage with Nottinghamshire County Council and others as appropriate to meet the Duty to Co-operate requirements, and in particular to review the existing joint minerals position statement (2013) and agree statements of common ground.

Rotherham Council supports the proposed sand and gravel allocations.

The consultation draft Doncaster and Rotherham Local Aggregate Assessment 2018 identifies that the sand and gravel landbank may well be sustained beyond the proposed 17 year plan period for Doncaster and the 15 year plan period for Rotherham. However without new permissions the reserve toward the end of the plan period may fall below 7 years. It goes on to note that to meet development demand in the short to medium term sand, gravel and crushed rock (if needed) will continue to be imported from the Idle Valley (Nottinghamshire), East Riding and Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire and Derbyshire.

It is noted that the Minerals Plan identifies site allocations in the north of the County which could potentially continue to supply South Yorkshire.

North Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire authorities border Doncaster and Rotherham with significant flows of minerals between the areas. An outcome of previous engagement between the authorities (including Doncaster, Rotherham and Nottinghamshire) was the agreement in 2013 of a joint minerals position. The relevant Councils continue to engage as required by the Duty to Co-operate, and further work is ongoing to review the position statement and to develop statements of common ground as required by the revised NPPF (July 2018). Rotherham Council will continue to engage with Nottinghamshire County Council and others as appropriate to meet these requirements.
