Initial Consultation document

Respondent: Mr Keith Nunn
I agree with the initial conclusion because my own uncle Russell Leech built the hides in the forest during the WW2. He is now deceased but told us of his activities in charge of the resistance in the woods and of the many adventures they had in practicing with the main army guarding the bridges. His men were the secret army and briefed to hide and come out to attack the invading German troops from behind. These hides and some, yet to be found, should be protected and eventually restored for future generations. There can be very few such precious archives left now in the country.
Quite apart from these historic reasons there are numerous reasons why quarrying activities should be prevented in these woods. I have already sent details of the possible effect of dust and carbon particulates being set down upon New road by air turbulence after being ionized by the HT wires overhead. Our medical expert claimed that these would stick deep into the lungs. We have a dossier of at least twelve people in New Road alone suffering from asthma or bronchical troubles. Woodland tree screening like this will not work due to air turbulence.
The loss of the main woodland amenity for Gt Yarmouth and Lowestoft and the biodiversity effected is surprising that this could ever be contemplated. All this in a National Park area!
We are urged to plant more trees for sequestration not to remove them ,even commercial woodland must be sustained by replanting in numbers.
European protected species live in the lower land and will need to be protected from toxic run off.
The possible breach of the aquifer supplying Fritton lake drinking water should not be risked.
The proposed lorry route for up to 50 lorries per day is too much for the already overcrowded A143. At peak times now there are long hold ups. NCC highways should monitor the present situation before sanctioning further chaos.
Fire, the forest has always been a fire hazard. Sparks from vehicles or machinery would be a danger in a tinder dry period. Four fires in four days one week and we average over 30 per year as the undergrowth is very difficult to extinguish once it starts.
The Broads Authority must speak up to protect its National Park status and protect the biodiversity in the area.
Article 1 of The Human Rights act does ensure our right to enjoy the peace and tranquility in our own homes and this plan would change all that.
We have not bothered with a petition this time over 20,000 joined us in opposition last time. Surely our council officers can appreciate that the developers are chasing a lost cause.
