Allocation is within and adjacent to a mineral safeguarding area for gypsum. Mineral Assessment would be required as part of any forthcoming application to avoid unnecessary minerals sterilisation. We welcome the mention within the site allocation schedule of the need for a Minerals Assessment in accordance with Policy M11 of the Leicestershire Minerals and Waste Local Plan. No waste safeguarding issues.

Allocation is within a mineral safeguarding area for gypsum. Mineral Assessment would be required as part of any forthcoming application to avoid unnecessary minerals sterilisation. We welcome the mention within the site allocation schedule of the need for a Minerals Assessment in accordance with Policy M11 of the Leicestershire Minerals and Waste Local Plan. The allocation is close to safeguarded waste site Keyham STW (H14) as identified in S3/2015 and figure H2 as part of the LMWLP. Intervening distance may be sufficient. ‘Agent of change’ principle applies.

Not within but adjacent to large MSA for sand & gravel. With intervening development including a pub, however, this part of the resource nearest Magna Park may be difficult to work. No waste safeguarding issues.

The site is not located in a mineral consultation area or close to any operational mineral sites.
The site is located relatively close (1.7km) to a strategic waste facility (H28), Welham Road, Great Bowden as identified in S3/2015 and figure H2 as part of the LMWLP. The waste facility (permission ref: 2014/0658/03) includes the bulking, storage and transfer of dry recyclable materials specifically paper, card, aluminium cans and glass. Policy W9 Safeguarding Waste Management Facilities of the LMWLP seeks to safeguard permitted waste management facilities from development which could prejudice the current and future operation of that waste facility. In this instance, due to the intervening distance between the proposed allocation and H28, it is unlikely that current/future operations would be compromised.
The MWPA is aware of a proposal for an anaerobic digester on land at Welham Lane (planning application ref: 2024/00041/03).

The site is not located in a mineral consultation area or close to any operational mineral sites. It is not considered that the proposed allocation would adversely affect the mineral safeguarding interest.
The site is located approximately 3km to the west of an identified strategic waste management site (H28), Welham Road, Great Bowden as identified in S3/2015 and figure H2 as part of the LMWLP. In this instance, due to the intervening distance between the proposed allocation and H28, it is unlikely that current/future operations would be compromised.

Proposed allocation does not lie within an MCA (Minerals Conservation Area) and thus does not require a Minerals Assessment. Furthermore, there are no concerns from a waste safeguarding perspective.
