It is important that as wide as possible
a range of stakeholders in the aggregates planning process should
understand good management practices for mitigation of environmental
impacts during operation of aggregates sites and the feasible quality of
restoration and after-care measures. This is needed so that site operation
is effective, and efficient, and so that the industry is held to sound
practices, while ensuring that expectations from the public and others are
realistic. Information in the form of leaflets and training materials is
needed by, for example, for elected members of planning committees, staff
in those local authority planning departments that handle limited numbers
of aggregates applications, the general public, and environmental
organisations. |
