I strongly object to the proposed site of almost 1000 acres for the extraction of silica sand. We are a small rural village and already have noise from the planes at RAF Marham. That is inevitable and it was my choice to live here, however the disruption, noise and fallout from sand particles is unacceptable. The company has stated that after use the area would be landscaped and filled with water. This would not be conducive to RAF Marham as it would be a major attraction for birds. The area proposed is beautiful with wildlife and would be destroyed .
