SECTION FOUR - SPATIAL POLICIES, KEY DIAGRAMS AND SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT CONTROL POLICIES<br />

4.9.4 Safeguarding Hard Rock Resources, Policy MWS/3 SAFEGUARDING HARD ROCK RESOURCES<br />

Rep No Name<br />

13500 CEMEX UK Operations Ltd. (Mr Shaun Denny) [636]<br />

Summary The Company both notes and supports the identification of Raynes Quarry as a safeguarded hard rock reserve and associated buffer zone.<br />

People Type<br />

14537 Chattelle Developments Ltd (Mr Willie Donnelly) [4484]<br />

Summary Including Ty Mawr site in a Safeguarded Hard Rock Reserve therefore precludes its allocation for the proposed live/work development as such development<br />

is seen as directly or indirectly harming the long-term viability of working these reserves. It also effectively precludes any other similar land use from the area.<br />

The designation in this area is a narrow tonge of land between 150/200 metres wide. It is difficult to see any circumstances arising when planning permission<br />

would be granted for quarrying and mineral extraction.<br />

Utilising the hard rock reserves is completely impractical and will inevitably lead to planning blight in the area.<br />

Change Sought: The Safeguarded Hard Rock Reserve area designation in the Ty Mawr area should be omitted from the Proposals Map on the grounds that it is a completely<br />

pointless designation bearing in mind its restricted size and the type and nature of the surrounding development.<br />

19183 Mineral Products Association ltd (Mr Malcolm Ratcliff) [4536]<br />

1 Object<br />

Summary In view of our objections to MWS/1 we wish to object to this policy on the grounds that it does not protect all potential mineral resources as required by<br />

national policy. As a minimum it should safeguard all igneous rock deposits given their long term strategic importance as a source of aggregate. In addition,<br />

all potential limestone resources in the coastal zone should be safeguarded including those to the west.<br />

Change Sought: We suggest that Section 1 of the policy be amended as follows, "All potential igneous rock and limestone resources wil be safeguarded by inclusion within the<br />

Safeguarded Hard Rock designation as shown on the Proposals Map."<br />
