Respondent: Ms P Fearnley

Representation Summary:

As a resident of Plumtree Park, in Marham, I wish to inform you that I strongly object to the proposal for a silica sand excavation site in the area of Marham and Shouldham.
I, and many of my fellow residents at Plumtree Park have used our own savings to come to live on this retirement park in this beautiful and tranquil area.
Should the proposal go ahead, I foresee the peacefulness and tranquillity being shattered, with noise, dust and the comings and goings of heavy vehicles. Also the landscape will obviously become scarred and the beauty of the area a thing of the past.
Also, this area is filled with lots of wild-life, which, should the proposal go ahead, will be greatly affected.
I do not understand why this proposal has been 'kept under wraps' until now, and we, the residents, have only just come to hear of it, giving us so little time to find out more about it and to place our objections before the 'deadline'.
