APPLICATION NUMBER: 17/0122/FDMAJM SITE: CLEARWELL QUARRIES LTD, STOWE, ST BRIAVELS, LYDNEY, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, GL15 6QW. The Head of Democratic Services facilitated the meeting and advised the Committee and registered speakers of the procedure which would be undertaken - 1 - Page 1 Minutes subject to their acceptance as a correct record at the next meeting during the course of the virtual meeting. For the benefit of the public watching via the live YouTube link the following Officers were introduced: Jason Betty: Senior Planning Officer for the current application, Sarah Pearse: Principal Planning Officer, Kevin Phillips: Planning Development Team Manager, Simon Excell: Lead Commissioner and Martin Evans: Solicitor. The facilitator introduced the following Technical Advisors: Professor John Gunn: Limestone Specialist Consultant, Natural England, Jenny Spencer: Air Quality Advisor, Atkins, Gary Kennison: County Ecologist, GCC, Rebecca Underdown: Planning Advisor, Natural England, Paul Horswill: Senior Planning Advisor, Natural England and Wendy Richards: Infrastructure Advisor, Atkins. The Planning Development Team Manager explained that the National Casework Team, who advises on Secretary of State on decisions, had contacted the Council regarding the application. It was not known at this stage if the Secretary of State would call in the application, but the Casework Team had informed Officers that if Committee resolved to accept the recommendation as published, they would consider whether the application should be called-in or not.. It was noted the legal advice was that the published officer recommendation did not need to be altered and the grant of permission would also be subject to the prior completion of a Section 106 Agreement. Members were advised that the case officer would elaborate on this during the course of his presentation. The Senior Planning Officer, prior to his formal presentation, brought to Member’s attention that the Mineral Planning Authority (MPA) had received 28 late objections to the proposal objecting on a variety of grounds. The Committee were advised that the MPA was of the opinion that all the matters raised in these late objections had been considered in the Officer Report and many would be mitigated through the proposed conditions as detailed in the report on pages 170- 194. It was explained that the late representations had also raised issues relating to the lack of public consultation, lack of publicity of the meeting, short notice of the meeting, lockdown restrictions effecting the democratic process, access to public buildings and that what consultation was carried out was inappropriate for such a sensitive and destructive proposal. Furthermore, objectors had requested that the planning meeting be postponed for 28 days to enable all those who wished to object to do so. Members were advised that in relation to the consultation on this planning application, the MPA had complied fully with the Councils adopted Statement of Community Involvement and was compliant with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The Senior Planning Officer stated that Chapter 5 of the report (pages 78-88) detailed the consultation and the publicity that was undertaken from December 2017 to January 2019 and involved 3 separate consultations including site notices, newspaper advertisements, letters and e-mails to near neighbours, contributors, Newland Parish Council and St Briavels Parish Council which resulted in almost - 2 - Page 2 Minutes subject to their acceptance as a correct record at the next meeting 300 objections being received from residents of Clearwell, St Briavels, Newland, Hewesfield and Coleford. Members were advised that there had been claims that people wishing to object were prevented from doing so via the Council’s public access system as there was a technical fault. The Officer had since ascertained one of the reason for this was due to the fact the objectors had been using a reference number relating to a previous application dating back to 2014 (14/0119/FDM) for the ‘Extension of Stowe Hill Quarry and retention of mineral processing plant at Clearwell Quarry’ which was withdrawn in December 2015. In order to address this and to assist the public who were trying to object to the proposal, the Senior Planning Officer had given them the opportunity to submit their objections and comments direct via his GCC e-mail or via the Development Control inbox. The Chairperson asked if Members had any questions based on the Officer’s opening statement. There were none at this stage. The Senior Planning Officer apologised for the length of the Committee report and presentation but felt it was necessary under the current unusual circumstances, in the absence of a site visit and the inability to display plans in the Council Chamber. The Committee was asked to consider the Planning Application 17/0122/FDMAJM submitted by, Clearwell Quarries Ltd, owned by Breedon for the Extension of Stowe Hill Quarry & Retention of Mineral Processing Plant at Clearwell Quarry. It was noted there were some amendments to the Officer Report, and these had been circulated to Members of the Committee prior to the meeting for information. The following amendments were noted as: - Paragraph 1.10 should read “The nearest residential properties to the proposed Extraction Area are Shop House Farm which its boundary lies approximately 105 metres to the north of the Phase 1 boundary and approximately 170m to the Shop House (dwelling) and approximately 105 metres from the Phase 2 boundary and approximately 220m to the dwelling.

This consultation seeks views on draft regulations concerning the interoperability of the railways. These regulations are necessary to meet the requirements of the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC which recast earlier versions and the deadline for implementation was 19 July 2010. The recast Directive contained new provisions for type authorisation of vehicles. It also has provisions for the reauthorisation process for vehicles authorised in another Member State which have been moved from the 2004 Safety Directive into the Interoperability Directive. ii.) The draft regulations will implement the Directive for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The reauthorisation of vehicles for the UK half of the Channel Tunnel are dealt with in bi-national safety regulations. All other requirements in the Directive in relation to the Tunnel will be implemented through these draft interoperability regulations. iii.) This consultation builds on two earlier rounds of consultation which were published by the Department in 2009 and 2010.
