White sand for red rock

In response to Monday’s front page article ‘Seeing Red’ a smoke signaller writes: “On the National Environment Service and the red soil issue, can I ask what the project was anyway and was there an environmental impact assessment report? The sand mining is less than 30 metres from the high water mark: surely we should have been allowed the chance to object? I believe there is red soil mixed into the fill along with iron and other dump material.” SS: The project is to dig up sand for use in various projects by T&M Heather, such as for making concrete.
