  • Stonepits Quarry, Benefield Landscape Mitigation Additional Information to Support Planning Application
    Stonepits Quarry, Benefield Landscape Mitigation Additional Information to support planning application Vista Landscape Studio June 2013 Stonepits Quarry, Benefield The following is the dialogue from T Cuss from Northampton County Council concerning concerns for the development at Stone Pits Quarry. The responses from Vista Landscape Studio are stated in red with reference to the subsequent figures and drawings: TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Conservation stone quarry to extract Blisworth Limestone (Oundle variety) Blockstone, Flagstone and Large Walling Stone LOCATION: Stone Pits Quarry, Between Upper and Lower Benefield, A427, Northamptonshire, PE8 5AN 1. I have some concerns regarding details of the data, information and assessments provided in the Environmental Statement and technical appendices on which I would welcome clarification or further information. I have also made some suggestions for amendment of landscaping or habitat creation proposals in order to ensure avoidance of impact on protected species and that appropriate mitigation is included in planning proposals and ecological and landscape enhancements would be secured for the long term were any application to be approved. In my opinon the landscaping proposals do not currently provide suitable or adequate mitigation to reduce impacts or enhance landscape character. Response: After discussions on site it was agreed that the planting belt provided along the eastern boundary due to the size of the proposed trees would provide adequate mitigation to the proposed quarrying activities. It was also agreed that the subsoil and topsoil mounds would be shaped to be more harmonious with the existing contours. These are shown on Figure 5 and supported by sections on Figures 6 and 7 on the subsequent pages of this response.
