Tarmac planning application is dead

Tarmac’s planning application to extract sand and gravel from the riverside between Burton Joyce and Gunthorpe is now officially dead.  The company had one year from the date it withdrew its application to re-submit the same application.  They did not do so.

 

But this is not necessarily the end of the affair.  It means that if Tarmac, or any other company, wants to mine this site, they must submit a completely new application.  And, before doing this, they must consult with the local community about any proposals.

 

“Consulting the local community” usually means informing the parish council.  So make sure that you know what your parish council is receiving and how they are dealing with it.
