Respondent: Mr Marc Boyd
I would like to object to the proposed site area of Marham and Shouldham for the extraction of silica sand.
On an infrastructure that is already affected by the increasing size of RAF Marham I am concerned about the impact the proposed extraction will have on our air quality, roads, noise pollution and wildlife.
Furthermore, I particularly object to the way in which this information has been withheld from local residents and only by word of mouth have I heard about the proposal with only days before the deadline.
My particular concerns of the proposal are as follows:
~ Noise pollution, as per our rights in the European Convention on Human Rights we are entitled to peaceful enjoyment of our homes ~ We often enjoy walks on the footpaths provided in this area which would no longer exist ~ There are no assurances that the site will not be used for landfill in the future ~ Impact on house values and slowing down of market in the villages ~ Road infrastructure is unsuitable for HGV and plant machinery ~ Air quality and dust pollution ~ The impact extraction might have on landscape with this being a high risk flood area
I would like you to address the above concerns regarding the Marham and Shouldham site before any further decision is made on the proposal.
