I object to the AOS E Land to the north of Shouldham to be considered for mineral mining. This woodland area provides vital habitat for biodiversity and valuable ecoservices to the communities of Shouldham, Marham, Wormegay and beyond. There are no other woodlands of this size in the vicinity. The Warren provides venue for recreation and nature appreciation , which is essential for mental health and well-being. It is a source of sustainable timber production and local jobs. It a habitat for wildlife and a carbon sink. It is irresponsible to destroy this asset in the interest of short-term exploitation.
