Representation Summary:

Please note these are just some of our concerns:
1) Water. Our bungalow has a private bore, we are concerned that the quantity and quality of our water supply could be affected.
2) As the predominant wind is westerly, any noise or smells or other pollutants from the proposed site would be direct to us affecting our health and quality of life.
3) Wildlife. Swannington bottom plantation is home to a large and varied number of wildlife species, which include birds such as buzzards, nightingales, treecreepers and nuthatches. Also summer roosting colonies of types of bat, There are badger sets to be found there too.
4) Highways. As is readily accepted by Highways Department, the village of Felthorpe has more than it share of HGV traffic, any increase would be detrimental.
