Campaigners have welcomed a decision to withdraw a planning application for gravel extraction next to the village of Barton in Fabis after residents raised concerns over the 'horrendous' plan.
The plans for a huge quarry, they claim, would have seen the local area plagued by noise and dust, as well as massively impacting migratory birds and local wildlife.
A huge campaign of opposition from residents and wildlife campaigners had seen more than a thousand objections submitted to Nottinghamshire County Council’s planning portal.
