With ongoing and future major investment at Ketton Cement Works the company will be seeking to secure at least 25 years of additional mineral reserves. Suggest penultimate paragraph is revised to read 'A stock of permitted reserves of at least 15 years for cement primary and secondary materials (limestone and clay) will be sought to maintain an existing plant, and at least 25 years where major investment is required for new plant or the maintenance and improvement of existing plant and equipment". To better reflect para 220 of the NPPF.

The policies do not provide adequate safeguard against the dangers of noise, dust and pollution from the extraction process. There should be specific defined safety targets and a measurement regime to ensure that residents (especially young children) are protected from any danger. New communities should not be housed near to extraction facilities and a much wider buffer zone should be put in place.

MIN2 (c) supports the supply of building stone, but specifically refers to use within Rutland. Given the limited geographical extent of the County, it is inevitable that a proportion of building stone extracted will be used outside the County (principally within neighbouring counties). To ensure the adequate provision of regionally importance sources of stone it is suggested that this wording be expanded to ‘Rutland and the surrounding region’.

MIN2 (c) supports the supply of building stone, but specifically refers to use within Rutland. This is overly restrictive, ultimately risking the recovery of building stone resources within the County. Given the limited geographical extent of the County, it is inevitable that a proportion of building stone extracted will be used outside the County and it is suggested that this wording be expanded to include ‘Rutland and the surrounding region’.

The purpose of Policy MIN2 is to encourage and secure additional reserves, however, the
evidence should be clear on what currently exists and what is required from Ketton Cement Works. At present, further justification is required to support the Plan.
