As stated in our previous consultation response, we recommended that point 8(viii) is amended to specifically provide guidance on how buffers between mineral extraction and rivers should be managed.
We therefore recommend the policy is revised to read: Measures for mitigating any environmental, transport or other impacts or for compensation for loss or damage where appropriate, including the provision of buffers between extraction and environmental or other assets, and in respect of river buffers whether these are wide enough to accommodate natural changes to the river’s location’.
