Initial Consultation document

Representation ID: 92203

Received: 15/08/2018

Respondent: Mr Steve Brewer

Representation Summary:

Please accept this letter as a formal objection to the progress of the Sibelco sand applications with reference to AOS E - Shouldham & Marham silica sand quarry.

To echo the many valid points already raised in the various letters I have read I would also like to highlight that by allowing this to pass through planning you run a very high risk of damaging Shouldham village and it's representation as a desirable West Norfolk location to live. Of which if you are interested in the growth of this part of Norfolk with in train connections to London, something you must keep in mind!

With the Ofsted outstanding primary school and community ran/owned pub and the increasingly used Warren, Shouldham remains one of a few village locations in West Norfolk that will attract people here to live.

Should you allow the quarry to go ahead oppose to looking at the bigger picture you will personally be damaging the future of this village and the surrounding area.

There are other other locations which I believe to be of less damage to the environment and economics of this part of Norfolk and the International business that Sibelco is can easily source the same sand elsewhere, just not making such profit along the way....

Please consider your final decision carefully.
