Initial Consultation document

Respondent: Ms L Bensley

Representation Summary:

I am writing to make it known that I am strongly opposed to the Fritton Wood/ Waveney Forest becoming a gravel pit.

Myself and my family have for over 35 years enjoyed the woods for either walking,dog walking,horse riding or for research for school projects and continue to use it to this day.

There would be several disadvantages to this proposed scheme for example the wonderful array of wildlife, flora and fauna and the major disruption to a beautiful peaceful area which is close to the river and Norfolk Broads. Not to mention the associated history of the area to the WW1 and WW2.

Then we have the proposed fifty or so lorries coming in and out of the site everyday on a small country lane and then only being allowed to turn right! I cannot see that that route is a route to Great Yarmouth, unless they have to take a left turn and go through the beautiful villages eg Somerleyton causing more heavy traffic on small country lanes.

I strongly disapprove of this proposal and I cannot see that the company proposing will perform a non -biased survey!
