I write in connection with the proposed mineral extraction site at shouldham/Marham.
I have examined the plan and know the site well.
I wish to object strongly to the extraction site in this area.
As a resident of Marham, who's property would overlook this site I have several objections.
The first being Air pollution. Dust/sand from the site would be a major source of air pollution to Marham. The air pollution is not only a nuisance (in terms of deposition on surfaces) and possible effects on health, in particular for those with respiratory problems but dust will also have physical effects on surrounding plants.
Noise pollution. Quarrying involves several activities that generate noise. It will start when the preparatory activities such as establishing roads, pipe work access then the process of exposing the sand to be extracted which will be done by either using scraping or hydraulic excavators and dump trucks.
With RAF Marham so close to the site careful consideration should be given. The quarry will attract large numbers of birds which in turn could have catastrophic consequences for the jets flying in and out of Marham.
And finally not a material consideration but it needs to be said, we bought our house as a nest egg for retirement and now in one foul swoop this quarry could potentially wipe 20% off its market value!
I look forward to any response and hope my objections are given careful consideration.
