Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan Draft

Reference: D760

Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Growth and Economy

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The purpose of this report is to make Gedling Borough Council’s views known to the County Council on the new Minerals Local Plan.

Decision:

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Portfolio Holder agrees that the comments set out in italics in paragraphs 10, 18 and 20 are sent to the County Council in response to their consultation on the draft Minerals Local Plan.

Reasons for the decision:

To ensure that Gedling Borough responds to the consultation on the Draft Minerals Local Plan by the deadline of 28th September 2018.

Alternative options considered:

Alternative options include:
a) Not making any comments on the new Minerals Local Plan in which case Gedling Borough Council’s views would not be made known to the County Council; or
b) Send comments setting out objections to the proposals for extensions to the existing quarries. However, in both cases, Bestwood 2 and Dorket Head there is a need to identify future resources and very limited options to secure this resource. The extension of existing sites as opposed to identifying new sites is assessed as being the better option by the County Council.
