Those mineral resources that lie !( within National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Shawell Husbands Bosworth Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas are not shown. The maps are intended !( (SG) (SG) to assist in the consideration and preparation of development plan policies with respect to aggregates extraction. They bring together a wide range of information, much of which is scattered Kettering !( NORTHAMPTONSHIRE and not always available in a convenient form. 2002 These maps have been produced by collation and interpretation of mineral resource data held by Castle Manor Farm the British Geological Survey. (SG) Information on environmental designations has been obtained from the appropriate statutory body (Natural England) who should be contacted for further information. The aggregate mineral resource data presented are based on the best available information, but are not comprehensive and their quality is variable. The inferred boundaries shown are, therefore, Pitsford Wellingborough Environmental Designations in the East Midlands Region approximate. Mineral resources defined on the map delineate areas within which potentially !( (Lst) (as at June 2007) workable minerals may occur. These areas are not of uniform potential and take no account of Rushden planning constraints that may limit their working. The economic potential of specific sites can only be proved by a detailed evaluation programme. Such an investigation is an essential precursor to submitting a planning application for mineral working. Extensive areas are shown as having no Daventry aggregate mineral resource potential, but some isolated mineral workings may occur in these Northampton !( PEAK DISTRICT LINCOLNSHIRE areas. WOLDS ") !( Earls Barton The locations of those quarries active in 2005 and extracting aggregate either as a primary product Northampton Extension or as a by-product of other mineral extraction are shown (including those that lie within the selected Rail Depot (SG) Bozeat Quarry environmental designations). The locations of those wharves and rail depots active in 2005 and (CR) (SG) where known, are also shown. While the compilers have tried to ensure that the site details are as accurate as possible, any map of active quarries is a snapshot in time. Moving the extraction location as reserves become exhausted or a new extension starts production, and renaming of sites are regular occurrences. Also sites may cease to be active at any time. 250 250 This product includes mapping data licensed from Ordnance Survey with permission of the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office © Crown Copyright and / or database right 2008.
