This map shows the status of the Lakes and Gravel Workings in July 2005 with the designations used prior to and during the 2005-2008 campaign to save Thrupp and Bullfield Lakes. Lakes A, B, C, D were filled with ash prior to 2005. Lakes G, H, I, J, P were in process of being filled in 2005. H & I have been merged as have J & P. Ash disposal at the Radley Lakes has now ceased. Lake M is a small shallow lake threatened with reexcavation under the ROMP proposals submitted by J Curtis & Sons in September 2012. Lakes E and F were threatened with being filled with ash in 2005. Lake E (Thrupp Lake) is now managed as a community nature and recreational site by the Earth Trust. Lake L1 is worked. A small lake (Longmead) now restored, remains in the NW corner. The remainder of Lake L (L2, “Bruney Field”) is as yet unworked. Lake K (“Nyatt’s Field”) is another unworked gravel area.
(An application under the Review of Old Mineral Permissions (ROMP) has been made in 2008 for further gravel extraction in areas L2 and K. Before any extraction can be proceeded with, an Environmental Impact Assessment will be required.) |
