Summary MSW/1
Essentially, we consider that all the main elements are covered in this policy. We appreciate the difficulty in finding a suitable landfill site and we are aware
that you have requested guidance on our Landfill Location Policy. We are also aware that the large amount of limestone in the area acts as a major aquifer
which seriously limits the land available.
1579 Countryside Council for Wales (Mr Richard Ninnes) [1948]

Summary Paragraph 1 of this policy contradicts the following statement in paragraph 4.258 of the Draft Plan: -
"and this document concludes that there is no need to allocate land for hard rock in Conwy at present, unless there are specific technical or environmental
circumstances that would justify an allocation."
Furthermore, the policy implies that hard rock quarrying by default results in harm being caused to the landscape and the environment, a view that is not
shared by the Company.
Change Sought: It is suggested that paragraph 1 of the policy is deleted and replaced by the following: -
"Further new or extensions to existing hard rick quarries will not be permitted unless justified by specific technical or environmental circumstances."

Cafin. As currently worded this point is not in line with national policy (MPPW, Para.13) or recommendations in the North Wales RTS (Page 75).
