The best result is for this site not to be considered at all for many reasons:-
1. It will be much too close to the very beautiful town centre of Holt where tourists visit all year round and make this area, with its obviously wonderful surroundings very popular and benefit the town financially.
2. Just the position of the the Holt country park, which is home to much wild life, being even closer to the proposed quarry shows a total lack of consideration to nature.
3. The potential of an additional 20-30 lorries a day discharging onto the B1149 cannot surely be considered as an acceptable living environment to HUMANS, OR ANIMALS in respect to noise levels and dust, which impacts on clean air to for all, in addition to the dust created by the existing extraction work and noise which is also noticeable from the existing quarry on the Hunworth road. Also the volume and speed of such large vehicles passing through domestic housing and passing Holt primary school cannot be acceptable for any reason, even making money.
4. I am 250 metres away from the boundary having moved here 13 months ago and have accepted the noise of local traffic . Haveing had the wonderful experience of deer in my garden many times and birds of prey flying over the fields, that my bungalow overlooks We are therefore very lucky as you might say and I agree, but this wonderful wildlife may have to move, even if we cannot, because our property will be devalued through no fault of our own.
5. Please explain how this proposition can be justified to make local life even bareable, let alone acceptable for our wellbeing? Can you justify the impact on the health and wellbeing of people living close by?
