The relavent part is taken from the report for those interested in the potential Purple Haze extraction site near Verwood:
"10.10 A significant number of responses were received regarding this site, with concerns including (but not limited to):
potential impacts on the Ebblake Bog Site of Special Scientific Interest(SSSI) and especially the Dorset Heathlands SPA;
the potential impacts on the amenity of both local residents and visitors to Moors Valley Country Park; potential health, safety, pollution and amenity impacts of potential landfill operations; additional traffic on the B3081; the water main through the site;
and cumulative impact on the locality with other operations.
Comment -
The site would contribute by 2030 about 0.75mt of sharp sand and gravel and 4mt of soft sand from west Hampshire. The site
would be progressively restored to forestry and heathland habitat with public access. The site would be a reserve site for non-hazardous landfill and in the event it is not required for this purpose, restoration would require inert fill. Development of the site would need to address: hydro-geological issues relating to the nearby Ebblake Bog SSSI that would include not extracting mineral from the northern portion of the site.
NB. This would effectively move extraction further away from Verwood; visual impact on the users of the B3081 and the Moors Valley Country Park by screening; protection or re-routeing of utilities; amenity of the Moors Valley Country Park; maintenance of local recreational access; protection measures for the nearby Dorset Heathlands SPA; and traffic and congestion on the B3081 to ensure there is safe access, provision made for more vulnerable highway users and impacts on peak flows managed."
