Policy 8

In the Preferred Areas indicated on the Proposals Map and shown in more detail in Appendix 3, there will be a presumption in favour of allowing applications for the extraction of sharp sand and gravel, so long as

  1. the requirements of Policy 6 are all satisfied; and
  2. the proposals have full regard to the statement of detailed requirements for each area as set out in Appendix 3, or such other amended requirements as may be agreed with the local planning authority so long as these fully address the issues and respect the principles contained in that Appendix, and do not diminish the standard of development as provided for in that Appendix.
