ID:29306 Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Mr Paul Tunaley, Thank you for your representation which we received as follows: Representation ID: 29306 Document: Minerals Local Plan Submission Draft Section: MP2o ‐ Coddington Support/Object: Object I strongly object on the grounds of the additional heavy traffic burden on the already chaotic road system around Newark, the negative environmental impact on the local amenities (Stapleford Woods, Newark Air Museum, The Newark Showground), the potential adverse effects on local air quality and the consequential effects on the health and welfare of the local population, and the huge loss of agricultural land. CHANGE TO PLAN The Coddington option should be removed from the Plan The document is unsound because it is not: ii. Justified iii. Effective How you would like your representation to be considered at the independent examination: Written representation. This email is acknowledgement of the receipt of your representation. It is NOT confirmation that the representation has yet been registered. You will not receive any further notification by email that your representation has been registered until the end of the participation period. 1 3026 30027 25.03.2016 Dear Sir or Madam Re: Proposed Inclusion of Flash Farm to the Minerals Local Plan I am strongly opposed to the proposed quarry at Flash Farm, Newark on Trent for the following reasons: 1) Demand – I do not believe that under the current climate there is the requirement for the quantities of material that is to be extracted from the Flash Farm site. In the Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Local Aggregates Assessment – April 2015 it states: The latest 10 year average production figures have fallen for all aggregate minerals since the first LAA was compiled in 2011. The three year averages for sand and gravel and Sherwood Sandstone over the same period have seen very small increase. The report goes on to state that: Based on the current evidence it is not considered that there is a need to amend the demand forecast set out in the emerging Minerals Local Plan as the 2011 LAA figures take into account of both a period of economic growth and recession. There are no significant infrastructure projects taking place in or around Newark on Trent other than proposed housing estates. However, the construction of houses only utilises 20% of the aggregates used therefore it is safe to say that the majority of this material will be exported out of the county, as identified in Section 3.7 of the Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Local Aggregates Assessment – April 2015, and in doing so add to the local road congestion. When widening the A46 there was significant excess in the cut volumes that had to be removed from the site and this is often the case when trying to achieve a sustainable design and reduce resource utilisation. 2) Environment – Averham Village sits in the flood plain of the River Trent (E.A. flood zone 2/3) and the creation of such a large deep void to the north of the village could have a significant impact on the free draining capability of the topography. This should be taken fully into consideration and advice sought from the Environmental Agency of the impact on the village. 3) Ecology – Flash Farm has a considerable number hedgerows that are home to a number of species of birds that are categorised as ‘rare and declining’ and the removal of the hedgerows will have an impact on the bird numbers. There are also considerable wild flowers that attract many species of butterfly which are currently in decline. 4) Noise, Nuisance and Visual Intrusion – The extraction and movement of aggregates is undertaken by large tracked vehicles which will be heard throughout the extended periods proposed for the development. The A617 creates significant noise at peak times but beyond this the ambiance is quite tranquil and the sound of revering sirens, crushing plant and continuous conveyors will have an impact on the local residents. By their very nature, sand and gravel are very dusty when being extracted and transported. Although not a hazard to human health the dust can become a nuisance to property situated locally to the development. The quarry will require significant dust suppression particularly in the summer period and it is hoped that the water will be from a sustainable source. My property is approximately 100m away from the edge of the proposed quarry. During the presentation by Mick George Ltd. they presented a drawing that shows soil mounds over 5m in height to provide visual screening against the quarry. I believe that this will have a drastic impact on my view from my Sun Room and the rear of my property 5) Transport – The A617 is a major route between Lincoln and Newark to Nottingham has significant levels of medium and heavy goods vehicles. Kelham Bridge is continuously a bottleneck and creates significant tailbacks at peak times. There have also been a significant number of road traffic accidents that have blocked the road for significant periods of time. These conditions make it difficult for emergency vehicles to reach the villages to the west of Newark. The increased volume of traffic by the vehicle movements from the quarry will just compound the current situation. The proposed access to the quarry is situated between the two sets of traffic lights just after Averham Village. Considering that this road has a speed limit of fifty miles per hour I believe that the proposed junction has the potential for causing accidents on a very busy road. Yours sincerely Neil Wright MSc. C Eng MICE MAPM ICIOB 3037 29242 3037 29242 3037 30001 From: Frances Overbury > Sent: 08 March 2016 20:43 To: Development Planning Subject: Formal Objection Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Dear Nottinghamshire County Council, I am writing to lodge a personal objection to the Local Minerals Plan for Coddington. Please can you confirm receipt of this email? I am very concerned about the terrible pressure all the additional traffic will cause around Newark especially at the already strained junctions of the A17, A46 and A1. Also the traffic through our village will no doubt increase. Also the dangers faced by our young daughter who is now 2 years old. We live very close to the site and she will be attending the local Coddington school which is also in a potentially affected proximity. I am also very worried about the affects to our property, dust, foundations and house price and also the affects to our beautiful neighbouring woodlands. We object as a family and believe that the Coddington site is not suitable because of the overwhelming deficits to the plan.

  • N60.47.1208.17 Norton Bottoms, Item 32. PDF 2 MB
    Agenda Item 4.1 Regulatory and Other Committee Open Report on behalf of Richard Wills Executive Director, Environment & Economy Report to: Planning and Regulation Committee Date: 30 July 2018 Subject: County Matter Application - N60/47/1208/17 Summary: Planning permission is sought by Breedon Southern (Agent: Pleydell Smithyman Limited) for an extension to extract sand and gravel, together with the retention of all existing ancillary operations for the duration of the extended operations to provide a single consolidated consent for the entire site and a revised restoration strategy at Norton Bottoms Quarry, Stapleford, Lincolnshire in the parishes of Stapleford and Norton Disney. The proposed development would constitute an extension to the existing Norton Bottoms Quarry with a restoration scheme, incorporating existing operational areas, which would create a blend of habitats and improve public access to the local area. The proposed development is subject of an Environmental Impact Assessment submitted pursuant to the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011 and an Environmental Statement has been submitted which assesses the potential impacts of the proposed development along with the mitigation measures proposed to avoid, reduce and, if possible, remedy any significant adverse impacts. The key issues to be considered in this case is the need and justification for the new mineral reserves and the principle of extracting sand and gravel from this site; the potential impacts on flood risk and drainage, highways, Public Rights of Way, the open countryside, landscape and agricultural land and nature conservation, and impacts on amenity including visual, noise and dust given the proximity to the village of Stapleford, and; any impacts of the development on the historic landscape and air safety with regard to the proximity of the quarry to RAF Waddington.

  • APPENDIX a Opportunity Mapping Methodology & Data Sources
    APPENDIX A Opportunity Mapping Methodology & Data Sources October 2013 Biodiversity Opportunity Mapping Study for Central Lincolnshire 11117101R_Final_Report_BW_10-13 Chris Blandford Associates 1.0 APPENDIX A 1.1 Opportunity Mapping Methodology and Data Sources Datasets Baseline Habitat Data 1.1.1 The biodiversity opportunity mapping process began with the acquisition, testing and expression of existing spatial data for the extant habitat resource. Data relating to the distribution and abundance of semi-natural habitats were provided by the Greater Lincolnshire Nature Partnership (GLNP), Natural England (NE), Forestry Commission (FC) and Woodland Trust (WT). It was indicated from an early stage that some of the NE datasets, in particular heathland, were not very accurate and could not be relied upon to give a true impression of habitat coverage in Central Lincolnshire (C.Lincs). The GLNP datasets were reported to be accurate, but mapping has only been carried out across a very small area (approximately 2% of C.Lincs). In order the most comprehensive baseline habitat dataset, the datasets were combined in order to display maximum coverage of habitats across C.Lincs, but priority has been given to displaying the GLNP datasets as a ‘top layer’ over those provided by NE, FC and WT. 1.1.2 There are around 80 different habitat types that make up the baseline inventory of existing semi-natural habitats (see Table A1 below). In order to rationalise the approach to opportunity mapping, the individual datasets were aggregated into a series of broad habitat types, in line with the habitat priorities set out in the Lincolnshire Biodiversity action Plan (2nd edition, 2006).

  • Green Infrastructure Study 3
    3.0 CENTRAL LINCOLNSHIRE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT 3.1 General 3.1.1 This section provides an analysis of key needs and opportunities for provision of GI across Central Lincolnshire as a whole within the context of the following GI functions: • Wildlife Habitat Provision; • Landscape/Townscape Setting and Historic Environment; • Sustainable Access, Recreation and Movement; • Sustainable Local Energy and Food Production; and • Sustainable Resource Management and Climate Change Adaptation. 3.1.2 It should be noted that there is often overlap between the GI functions. For example, wildlife provision and access to nature are closely related. This section should be read in conjunction with Section 4.0, which provides an assessment of GI needs and opportunities within the context of the defined GI Zones. 3.2 Wildlife Habitat Provision 3.2.1 Key needs and opportunities relating to wildlife habitat provision at the Central Lincolnshire scale are discussed below. This section should be read in conjunction with Section 4.0, where wildlife habitat provision needs and opportunities are set out within the context of GI zones. Key Needs/Deficiencies Fragmented Habitats 3.2.2 Based on an analysis of available data141 it appears that despite some clusters of habitat within the Study Area, for example in the Lincolnshire Limewoods area, habitats are generally very fragmented, comprising mostly small and widely scattered sites. Small areas of habitat generally support fewer species and some species associated with particular habitats require relatively large areas of habitat and are therefore absent from smaller areas. In addition, small and isolated habitats and sites are more vulnerable to the potential negative effects of adjoining more intensive land uses and a range of other potential factors such as climate change.

  • RAF Pocklington and Local Area Losses Aircraft Accidents & Losses at and Near RAF Pocklington in WW2
    RAF Pocklington and Local Area Losses Aircraft Accidents & Losses at and near RAF Pocklington in WW2 The Halifax HR792 shown here made an emergency landing on the Isle of Lewis in WW2 and has been restored by the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington where it is now on permanent display. Although HR792 was not an RAF Pocklington aircraft, it is representative of the type flown from RAF Pocklington by No. 405 Squadron from April 1942 and later No. 102 Squadron to May 1945. Evident is the radome for the H2S radar scanner mounted under the central fuselage; also the much-revised fin & rudder shape which transformed handling and thus flight safety (see Part 1). © Pocklington & District Local History Group Aircraft Accidents & Losses at and near RAF Pocklington in WW2 Introduction © Copyright notice The article on the WW2 airfield at RAF Pocklington on the Pocklington & District Local This article is copyright the Pocklington & Local District History Group and no part may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including History Group website included details of several aircraft accidents and losses within the airfield photo-copying, recording or any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in boundary and the adjacent Pocklington parish. writing from Andrew Sefton.
