23. Public Meeting 20/6/201123 Hampshire CC proposes to... Grab 174 football pitches for sand & landfill in our country park – close to residents Extend operations at Blue Haze to 2030 Quarry & then landfill Purple Haze - beyond the scope of the plan and possibly our lifetime. Total no of lorries per day = 372 excludes Incinerator Bottom Ash – Raymond Brown Lorries

24. Does Purple Haze have the potential to become heath now? Some nature groups think this proposal will be great, and therefore wont raise objections, because the land will be restored Other nature groups object to the proposal because this area is already diverse with many rare heathland species of plants and wildlife, and – Dorset Heaths are protected by Europe and regarded as Globally Important. The area used to be a heath before plantation. – The Forestry Commission make money from Moors Valley. Do they really need to have a plantation here? In an ideal world... Public Meeting 20/6/201124

25. Public Meeting 20/6/201125 Hampshire CC proposals... Mean this...

26. Public Meeting 20/6/201126 Hampshire CCs proposals have potential impacts... The proposals have been summarised...... next well look at the potential impacts...

27. The impacts of recreational displacement causing potential additional pressure on designated sites should be included in the assessment 10,000 people per year use the accesses from the B3081 – will they put more pressure on the heaths? Impact on Moors Valley... Public Meeting 20/6/201127

28. The Plan should aim to avoid or repair the fragmentation and isolation of natural habitats and to contribute to the delivery of priority habitats identified in national and / or local Biodiversity Action Plans, particularly in Biodiversity Opportunity Areas Natural England response to HCC proposals What the experts say... Public Meeting 20/6/201128

29. the UK Government is committed to the European Landscape Convention, which aims to promote the protection, management and planning (including active design and creation ) of Europes landscapes. It stresses that people and their surroundings need to be at the heart of spatial planning and sustainable development Natural England response to HCC proposals Impact on Moors Valley What the experts say... Public Meeting 20/6/201129

30. we do not see how it would be possible to replicate artificially the natural hydrological features of the catchment, either during operation or subsequently (with or without landfill) and therefore avoid adverse effect on the Dorset heath N2k sites (particularly the SAC and Ramsar). In these circumstances the part of the possible allocation forming the catchment of Ebblake Bog could not be implemented or be part of a statutory plan Natural England Response to HCC proposals Impact on Moors Valley What the experts say... Public Meeting 20/6/201130

31. Several Nightjar Territories Habitat Suitable for European Protected Species – Sand Lizard – Smooth Snake the forestry plantations on Dorset heathland (including Ringwood Forest) have been identified as the critical area nationally for the re-establishment of open habitats if the objectives of the Governments open habitat policy (When to convert woods and forests to open habitat in England: Government policy: March 2010) are to be achieved. Natural England Response to HCC Proposals Impact on Moors Valley What the experts say... Public Meeting 20/6/201131

32. Will the quality of the heathland restored, following landfill, be lower than that of heathland on the natural geology, established following the rotational removal of plantation? Will the seed bank of rare plants survive? Impact on Moors Valley... Public Meeting 20/6/201132
