Table 34.1 Sectoral Policy 9 Marine aggregates - Table of suggested modifications
| No. | Suggested modification | Action taken | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 391 | This policy should place a requirement on the aggregate industry to demonstrate they have explored alternatives such as alternative sources, alternative materials (such as recyclate or secondary aggregate) or using dredged material. | None. | This would be a requirement for any individual proposal and as currently there is no demand for marine aggregate development in the area it is felt the current policy text is appropriate. |
| 392 | There is no policy regarding dredging as a separate activity though it may be associated with several policies such as Policy 9 on Marine aggregates, Policy 7 on ports and harbours and Policy 4 renewables. It is noted that there are a number of approved dump sites but it would be useful to have a policy seeking beneficial uses for dredge spoil. | Text amended in Sectoral Policy 7. | The 'dredging' heading was omitted in error from Sectoral Policy 7; text updated to show more specific dredging information and policy requirements. |
