Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Proposed Mineral Safeguarding Areas
Note - I thought this would be best put in this Section although may not directly relate to Otterpool Waste.
__________________________________________________________

Subject: Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Proposed Mineral Safeguarding Areas - AMENDEMENT
Sent: 11 February 2013 10:38
Subject: Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Proposed Mineral Safeguarding Areas - AMENDEMENT
Amendment:
Please note that questions 2-4 below relate to Appendix F, not Appendix
E as stated.
Dear Consultee,
Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan:
Proposed Mineral Safeguarding Areas
We are producing a series of topic
papers to inform the production of the new Kent Minerals and Waste Plan. These
topic papers will provide detailed information on key mineral and waste topics
for sustainable mineral and waste management issues in Kent over the 2013-2030 plan
period. The latest draft paper focuses on the important subject of mineral
safeguarding in Kent.
The purpose of the safeguarding
designations is to ensure that economic mineral resources are adequately and
effectively considered in land-use planning decisions for non-mineral
development; there is no presumption that any safeguarded mineral resources
will be suitable for extraction in the future.
This revised draft topic paper builds
on the responses to our earlier Minerals and Waste Plan consultations,
associated evidence base consultations and organised consultee workshop events.
We now welcome your views on our approach to mineral safeguarding in Kent and the
extent of the proposed safeguarding areas for individual mineral types, in
order to help us shape the mineral safeguarding policies and mineral
safeguarding maps for our Minerals and Waste Local Plan.
In particular we would welcome your
comments on the following aspects of ‘mineral safeguarding’:-
- Do you agree with the approach being taken to exemptions from the mineral safeguarding process (paragraph 1.1.7)?
- Do you agree that we should safeguard the sub alluvial river terrace deposits on Figure 2 in Appendix E?
- Do you agree that we should safeguard all of the building stone types shown on Figure 3 in Appendix E?
- Do you agree that we should safeguard all of the brickearth deposits shown on Figure 5 in Appendix E?
The document will be open for comment
from 11th February to 4th March 2013 and will be publically
available on our website and consultation
portal.
We recommend you submit your views
through our online consultation
portal.
Alternatively, you can also email your comments to mwdf@kent.gov.uk or write to us at MWLP Project Team,
Planning and Environment, Kent County Council, Invicta House, Maidstone, Kent
ME14 1XX.
The next formal stage of our plan
making will be the consultation on our draft Minerals and Waste Plan (formerly
known as the Pre-submission edition of the Core Strategy) which is scheduled to
start in June 2013. We will inform all stakeholders who are registered on our
database about this later in the year. In the mean-time, you can download our
timetable and other plan making information from our website (www.kent.gov.uk/mwdf) or contact us at the address above.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Rachel Cutler
Planning Officer
