Representation ID: 5890
Received: 02/11/2017
Respondent: LANDOWNWER CONSORTIUM FOR EAST OF LUTTERWORTH SDA
Agent: Marrons Planning
The provisions within Policy GD9 are supported to ensure mineral resources are not unnecessarily sterilised. It is suggested that the explanation should also emphasise the importance of viability as well as the practicality of prior extraction. For instance, the Consortium, have reviewed the mineral resources of the East of Lutterworth SDA. Evidence provided with these representations confirms that it would not be practicable to exploit the mineral resource in this area due to economic and environmental constraints. This includes the prohibitive measures required to protect the SSSI and the watercourses in the area.
