A partial decision on the proposed quarry will be made by Nottinghamshire County Council’s Planning and Rights of Way Committee, in its role as the Mineral Planning Authority.<\/p>\n

The rest of the decision will be down to Nottingham City Council, as a small part of the land is within their boundary.<\/p>\n

A representative for Land Logical Limited said the company did not intend to comment before the planning decision.<\/p>\n

However, they did refer to the fact that the site had been allocated to become a quarry in the Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan, external<\/a>, adopted by the county council in 2021.<\/p>\n

The quarrying work will also take place in four stages to minimise the “total working area” at a given time.<\/p>\n

Addressing concerns about air quality, the air quality assessment included mitigation measures such as using water to dampen material during dry conditions.<\/p>\n

This mitigation would result in “negligible impact” of dust.<\/p>\n

But the map of wind direction and speed used by the assessment was taken from data at the Nottingham Watnall weather station, eight miles away from the proposed site, which is why locals remain sceptical.<\/p>\n

As for noise, an assessment found that the quarry would comply with national and local planning policy.<\/p>\n

The site will only operate between 07:00 and 18:00 from Monday to Friday, and 07:00 and 13:00 on Saturdays. There would be no working on Sundays or bank holidays.<\/p>\n

The meeting to decide whether to approve the plans is due to start at 10:30 GMT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A partial decision on the proposed quarry will be made by Nottinghamshire County Council’s Planning and Rights of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-318716","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
