Dear Mrs Burling,
RE: Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Minerals and Waste Development Plan
As you may know we are in the process of drafting the Minerals and Waste Plan for
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and we want to tell you where we are in that process
and how you can have your say on the various proposals.
The plan sets out a long-term strategy to plan properly for mineral and waste facilities in
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
Cambridgeshire County Council has to look at all the proposals and people have already
had a chance to have their say on these draft suggestions.
After extensive consultation, the draft recommendations (Preferred Options Plan) are now
going to Development Control Committee on 4th September, and will then go to Cabinet on
26th September.
After the draft plan has been looked at by.these committees, the County Council hopes to
hold another extensive six-week public consultation from the beginning of November. This
will not be the end of the process and we have included a draft timetable to explain it. At
this time, the Council would welcome comments on its Preferred Options set out on the
Draft Plan.
We know you are interested in this issue:
Minerals - Barrington
Cement is an essential commodity in the construction industry and following the withdrawal
of a much larger controversial scheme for a new kiln and related major quarry, a small
extension to the Barrington Quarry is being recommended for inclusion in the plan in order
to balance the chemical properties of the wider long-term mineral reserve.
