Agenda item

The recommendation as set out in the report were amended to reflect the dates of meetings held during 2016.

The Director of Conservation and Planning reported that from his perspective the time invested in supporting this group was worthwhile as it helped the parties involved to talk to each other and gain an understanding of their perspectives. He confirmed that this group had been used as a model for setting up other groups such as the one for the RHS Show at Chatsworth. It was also noted that in future the Group may meet less frequently after formal decisions on the future of quarrying in Stanton Moor had been determined.

It was noted that since the last annual report a new Chair had been appointed to the Group.

RESOLVED:

1.         To note the minutes of meetings of the Stanton Moor Minerals Liaison Group held on 22 February 2016, 25 July 2016 and 2 November 2016.

2.         To confirm that the Group continues to operate during 2017 as constituted in 2014.

3.         To agree that Peter Stubbs continues to Chair meetings of the Group held during 2017.
