Initial Consultation document
Representation ID: 91825
Received: 20/07/2018
Respondent: Mrs L Newton
With reference to your letter dated 26th June 2018, regarding the initial proposal for sand and gravel extraction, MIN25, Manor Farm, Haddiscoe.
This site has been the subject of a planning application and was rejected on appeal in 2014.
This site lies close to our property and we feel strongly that, if approved this time, it would have a negative impact on our quality of life. While we recognise that three sides of the site are screened with a mature hedge, our home boarders the site on the same side as Manor Farm, and the report clearly states that there is no screening of any sort along this boundary. We are approx. 100 meters from the site boundary, and the resulting noise, disruption and threat to health from air born small dust particles would have a negative effect on us.
The three homes that are situated along this border seem to have been given no consideration and no mention in the initial report. We find this very disturbing as the report itself clearly states that "the greatest impacts will be within 100 metres of the source, if uncontrolled". As no mention of protection for ourselves or our neighbours seems planned we can only assume that we will be given no consideration by the company seeking to work this site for 9 long years.
The plan will inevitably lower the value of our property, lower the quality of our lives and has the possibility of affecting our health. As I am 67 years old I feel that the effect this will have on me will be considerable, and the likelihood of chest and breathing problems from the small dust particles almost inevitable.
