We have concerns about the approach set out in this policy and the potential impacts for the historic environment. For example, what assessment has been undertaken to consider the potential harm to the significance of the historic environment, heritage assets and their setting. Many of the safeguarded areas appear to consider extensions to existing quarry sites,
however, it cannot be assumed that additional development in an existing area will be suitable and without harm for the historic
environment. By listing areas it is difficult for us to assess what the potential implications may be and we require additional information relating to these areas/ potential sites in order to provide detailed advice.
