Respondent: Mr & Mrs P & J Marchant
Number of people: 2
We are residents of Beeston with a house on Back Lane that would be within 250 metres of the land north of Back Lane, that was considered for mineral extraction.
This site is totally incompatible with the close proximity of over 70 properties along Back Lane, The Street and Chapel Lane. With the wind from the north, we hear noise from the existing quarry adjacent to Punch Farm, from generators and stone tipping and that site is over 2000 metres from the houses along the Street and Back Lane. The noise from a closer site would be unbearable as would be the dust pollution. As the site is on an upward slope there is no way the residents could be effectively shielded from the noise and dust pollution. The adverse effects of the noise and dust pollution on the health of the local population could be catastrophic. Don't the County planners ever consider the effect of their plans on the existing population? In this case they obviously did not.
From the rear of our house, we have a beautiful country view of a gentle upward sloping cultivated field. We do not want to look out on a hole in the ground. The thoughtless planners could then decide to fill the hole with waste! More noise, machinery, fumes, smells, methane, rodents, changing our wonderful view to an industrial hell.
MIM 23 has once been rejected as being unsuitable for mineral extraction, since then nothing has changed except there are now more people living along the street. This plan should be rejected for ever.
