Strong and detailed policies, as well as expertise knowledge by the Mineral Planning Authority, are necessary to ensure that mineral provision does not compromise the health and amenity of local residents, which, if proposed quarry sites are developed, could be up to 40% of the population of Rutland.

Important that minerals are recognised as a strategic objective as they are a critical component in delivery of other objectives of the Plan. Supply must not be assumed.

Rutland lacks enforcement, although a vital resource quarrying blights many communities

Of course. I do support appropriate use of local resources - even if these are exhaustible.
Taking account of impacts on the environment and local communities are very important, both when active and (especially) when resource extraction/use becomes unsustainable - then ensuring that the land is either treated as "brownfield" for building - or (always preferably) as an unusual (often unique) ecosystem to be nurtured treasured.

Wording is weak in relation to avoiding and mitigating for potential adverse impacts on the natural environment. “…taking account of impacts…” should be amended to “avoiding and minimising impactions on…”.
