Initial Consultation document

Representation ID: 91903

Received: 31/07/2018

Respondent: MR David Lowes

Representation Summary:

I disagree that this is a suitable location for sand and gravel extraction. The settlement of Holt is 26m away. This is basically a Quarry in the town.
The proximity to a high number of residential properties is unacceptable. I estimate our property to be 20m from the site boundary.
These properties, regardless of mitigating actions, will be impacted by dust, lorry traffic, noise and a negatively changing landscape.
This site is also in close proximity to Holt Country Park and this seems irrational given it's purpose of providing a peaceful nature experience.
