Initial Consultation document

Respondent: Mr Paul Dixon
I have made the following representation on the appropriate NCC Consultation page
within their guidelines on brevity.
"Shouldham/Marham proposal would require diversion of PRoW FP9. This is the only direct route to the river from the village and if removed would leave just the path via Marham Fen, or a route through Shouldham Warren. Both at unacceptable distances from FP9 and this part of the village. FP9 diversion not to be greater than 100m at any point from present position"
Perhaps however you would allow me to expand and clarify.
Between Narborough and Blackborough End, New Road, there are only two places where the River Nar can be crossed, the Eastgate Farm and Pentney Abbey bridges.
Access to the former is through Marham Fen and the latter by the footpath that runs directly down to the river from the village, at the end of Fen Lane, through the proposed site.
The quarry will therefore cut off this part of Marham from the only crossing point that is on the River Nar circular route, the footpath continues on the north side of the river so the footbridge at Pentney is an essential feature of the walk.
From the plans submitted so far there is no satisfactory diversion.
