To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if he will give consideration to requesting an urgent review of the proposal for shingle recycling at Dungeness, Kent.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if he will give consideration to requesting an urgent review of the proposal for shingle recycling at Dungeness, Kent.
Kent county council is best placed to make a judgment about the merits of restarting shingle recycling activity at Dungeness, as it is the local planning authority. Kent county council is expected to consider this matter in January 2014.
DEFRA cannot provide advice on specific planning cases as they may come before Ministers on appeal.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what consideration he has given to conducting a review of the proposal by Kent county council for shingle recycling at Dungeness.

Since January 2012, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, my right hon. Friend the Member for Brentwood and Ongar (Mr Pickles), has received five letters drawing his attention to this proposal.
I understand that the application is currently under consideration by Kent county council. It has the statutory responsibility for considering this proposal and has to determine it in the light of any development plan for the area and any other material planning considerations, including any representations received.
As the Secretary of State has a quasi-judicial role in the planning process, with respect to call-ins and appeals, it would be inappropriate for me to express an opinion, as it may come before the Secretary of State at a later stage.
Should the council refuse this permission, the Secretary of State has no involvement, unless the applicant subsequently appeals against the council's decision.
