WQ.273/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY K.F. MOREL OF ST. LAWRENCE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 1st JUNE 2021 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 8th JUNE 2021
Question
When assessing whether or not to include Field MY 966 within the La Gigoulande Quarry extension safeguard zone in the draft Bridging Island Plan (B.I.P.), will the Minister advise whether he requested, or read, the results of any health impact assessments or environmental impact assessments of the effects of quarrying that field; and, if so, how were the findings then incorporated in the B.I.P.?
Answer
As stated in my previous answer to WQ.261/2021, the principle of an extended mineral extraction site at La Gigoulande Quarry is proposed to be safeguarded by the draft bridging Island Plan.
Detailed analysis and consideration of the acceptability of the impact of any such development of field MY966 as an extension to the existing mineral extraction site would remain to be determined by any subsequent planning application. Any planning application to extract minerals would be required[1] to be accompanied by an environmental impact statement which would include information as is reasonably required to assess the environmental effects of the proposed development.[2]
