INTRODUCTION 1.1 The following Statement has been prepared on behalf of the Johnston Quarry Group (‘the applicant’) in respect of a planning application, submitted under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) to vary condition 7 of planning permission 14/0101/CWMAJM. The application seeks planning permission to vary the tonnage limit on the export of mineral at Oathill Quarry, Temple Guiting, Gloucestershire. 1.2 Condition 7 limits the annual output of material from Oathill Quarry. The condition states: “The total quantity of blockstone (building stone), walling stone, agricultural lime and crushed aggregates exported from the Oathill Quarry site shall not exceed 50,000 tonnes in any calendar year, this being between the 1st of January and the 31st of December. The quantity of any single mineral product exported from the quarry in a calendar year shall not exceed 30,000 tonnes. All records of exportation shall be retained for a period of 3 years and made available to the Mineral Planning Authority within 7 days of a written request.” 1.3 The purpose of varying condition 7 is to allow up to 100,000 tonnes of material to be exported from Oathill Quarry per calendar year. The increase of exports would provide the applicant with flexibility to maintain existing levels of mineral export, comprising blockstone (building stone), walling stone and crushed aggregate, whilst meeting growing demand for the supply of agricultural lime, a mineral by-product produced from site derived waste material. The applicant would apportion the increased mineral export total to allow for the export of up to 50,000 tonnes of mineral and 50,000 tonnes of agricultural lime. 1.4 The Mineral Planning Authority (MPA) will be aware that mineral exports have exceeded the 50,000 tonne annual limit over recent years. However, since early 2018 the applicant has made clear attempts to regularise this position. In February 2018, application reference 18/0010/CWMAJM sought to increase export limits to 150,000 tonnes per annum. Despite a demonstrable lack of substantiated objection, the MPA advised that such an uplift of mineral export would not be supported. 1.5 In order to arrive at an acceptable compromise and work with the MPA to address concerns, the applicant submitted a request for pre-application advice in January 2019. The pre-application exercise sought to establish positive early engagement with the MPA and scope the requirements of a planning application to increase export limits to 100,000 tonnes per annum. The MPA’s pre- application advice is provided at Appendix 1. Application 19/0032/CWMAJM, which sought to vary condition 7 to increase export limits to 100,000 tonnes was submitted in May 2019. Application 18/0010/CWMAJM was subsequently withdrawn. 1.6 Following submission, the MPA issued a positive screening opinion of application 19/0032/CWMAJM, requiring submission of an Environmental Impact Assessment. In July 2019, the opinion was confirmed by screening direction issued by the Planning Casework Unit on behalf of the Secretary of State. Since issue of the screening direction, the applicant has instructed preparation of a number of technical assessments, submitted as the accompanying Environmental Statement. 1.7 Application 19/0032/CWMAJM is withdrawn to allow for submission of this application under the terms of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2017. 1.8 This Supporting Statement accompanies the Environmental Statement and provides background information, including a description of the site and review of Oathill Quarry’s planning history; a December 2019 Page 4 of 28 David Jarvis Associates Limited DJA Reference: 2180-4-4-1-SS-T2-S5-P2 14/0101/CWMAJM - Variation of Condition 7 Section 73 Application Supporting Statement Oathill Quarry description of the proposed development; an overview and assessment of key national and local planning policy; and a review of planning, environmental and material considerations. 1.9 Combined with accompanying documents, it is demonstrated that the proposed development would not result in any significant adverse impacts upon the surrounding highway, environment or residential amenity and is consistent with planning policy. 1.10 Critically, it is demonstrated that there is a proven local need for agricultural lime within the Cotswold and Gloucestershire region. This application is considered to present the most sustainable and regulated means of fulfilling the proven local demand for agricultural lime, avoiding the need for material to be hauled long distances into the County.

Call to order. The meeting was called to order and opened at 7.30pm 2. Apologies. Apologies were received from Nettie Ekblom, Janet Boote, Rev Scott, Nick Powell and County Counillor Nigel Moor. 3. Minutes of the last meeting held on Wednesday 15th March 2017 at 7.30pm in Guiting Power Village Hall to be signed and approved. These were approved and signed as a true record. 4. Brief Reports Gloucestershire County Council – Cllr Nigel Moor (Read by Dawn Rimmer) GCC BUDGET GCC`s budget for 2018/19 was agreed at Council on the 14th February and is a total of £412.9 m based on a council tax increase of 4.49%, of which 2.0 % is ringfenced for adult care. This represents an increase in our expenditure of 1.27% compared with the 2017/18 budget and means that the county council can protect the budgets for adult care, children and families, public health, communities and infrastructure. The budget represents an increase in spending on adult social care of 2.3% and on children`s services of 28%. The aim here is to reduce the case load for each social worker. In addition, our capital budget going forward to 2019 is almost £505 m and includes our £150m investment to highways, and in addition to broadband, cycling and footways and other essential infrastructure including a roll out of electric vehicle charging points across the county.

  • Guiting Gazette 1984
    u is e y t e Uu1t1ng Manor Amenity 1rust - No.85 GUITING POWER January, 1984 BBC l film - "THE AERODROME": Everyone, so far :is I know, thought the film a great disappointment, at the least. Part of this was due, I think, to the fact that film-makers always shoot vastly more film than they use, so that many scenes on which a great deal of time and trouble - and expense - was spent were not included in the final result. Indeed, for all the fuss and gefuff le which went on here, I only recongised two houses - Greenfield House and Tudor House - and two street scenes in Guiting, and most of these were supposed to be at night. As for our "extras", I didn't myself recognise anyone, though I believe that a few, chiefly children, made a brief appearance. One must realise that Guiting and its people were being used for the purpose of a film, unlike the time when a film was made about Guiting and its people as such. That said, however, the production did not, in my view, bring out the important parts of the story sufficiently clearly; indeed, I much doubt if anyone could have followed it unless he had read the book. Nor did the BBC itself help, by treating the whole thing purely as the take-over of a village by a revolutionary air force with bits of melodrama thrown in to bring in "human interest" - and that of a rather distasteful kind. None of this was clarified by the actors who, with one or two exceptions such as the Air Vice-Marshal (very well played by Richard Johnson) seemed to me to have been mis-cast in their various roles.
