Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Alternative Sites & Focused Changes (Reg. 18)
QUESTION 9b: If the site is allocated, do you think there are any specific requirements that should be set out in the allocation policy?
Representation ID: 3389

Respondent: Norfolk County Council - Minerals and Waste Team
Norfolk Minerals and Waste Core Strategy Policy CS16 ‘Safeguarding mineral and waste sites and mineral resources’ applies as the proposed allocation, SN0218, is located within the consultation area for safeguarded mineral extraction site, Earsham Quarry, which is only 25m from the boundary of SN0218 at the closest point, with the A143 in between. The site assessment should include this information.
Therefore, the policy wording for this site should state: ‘The site is within the consultation area for a safeguarded mineral extraction site and the development must not prevent or prejudice the use of the existing mineral extraction site unless suitable alternative provision is made, or the applicant demonstrates that the site no
longer meets the needs of the aggregate industry.’

Proposed allocation VC DIT1 REV is 2.42ha and underlain by safeguarded mineral resource, sand and gravel. We consider that it is appropriate and relevant for the requirements of a strategic policy (in this case Policy CS16 of the Norfolk Minerals and Waste Core Strategy) to be included in a site allocation policy where it sets out how the policy will apply to a specific site at the development management stage.
Therefore, the policy wording for this site should state: ‘This site is underlain by a safeguarded mineral resource; therefore investigation and assessment of the mineral will be required, potentially followed by prior extraction to ensure that needless sterilisation of viable mineral resource does not take place.’
