That the comments in the report be endorsed as Chichester District Council’s formal response to the consultation on the draft Joint Minerals Local Plan.

The Cabinet considered the report circulated with the agenda (copy attached to the official minutes).

Mr Dignum advised that residents would be pleased with this response as Mr M Hall led the campaign against greenfield encroachments to stop any gravel extraction from around the city.

Mrs Hardwick was pleased to see the reference to fracking at 5.4 in the report which reaffirms Government policy and that the Fernhurst site would be entrenched in the policy.
