- W3100294505 abstract "The North East Leicestershire field has proven reserves of 510 million tons, making it the biggest find in Western Europe. The bituminous deposits, in five main seams, underlie an area of 96 square miles, mainly agricultural land, in northeast Leicestershire, south Nottinghamshire and east Lincolnshire. Estimates place the value of the reserves at 10 billion pounds (US) and development costs were calculated last year to be in the order of 500 million pounds. The NCB's planning applications are based on the recommendations contained in their consultants' report. Three mines are planned, at Hose, in the Vale of Belvoir itself, at Asfordby, near Melton Mowbray and at Saltby, near Grantham. The National Coal Board plans to extract 7.2 million tons of coal a year when the field is fully on-stream, 13 years after the start of development. The scheme inevitably raises a mix of interrelated strategic and local issues. At the strategic level, the debate will enter the problematic area of energy policy. Absence of an overall energy policy makes it difficult to assess the exact extent of the national benefits which might accrue from developing the North East Leicestershire coalfield but it is inescapable that there would be adverse impacts on the quality of the environment in the coalfield area. These disbenefits must however be set against the local benefits of the scheme, particularly those of an economic nature. Many of the 4000 miners in the Leicestershire pits which will be exhausted over the next two decades regard Belvoir as a future source of employment. The vocal and well-organized local opposition to the scheme centers on a combination of fears about its direct physical environmental impacts and less clearly articulated reservations about the effects of an influx of miners on the established social patterns of the area. Identification of the social and economic changes that the proposals will occasion in the coalfield area is not easy." @default.
