I would like to lodge my objection to SIL02 - the proopsed silica sand excavation site to the northeast of Shouldham on the following grounds...

- Destruction of local ecology
- Destruction of valuable agricultural land
- Increaded noise during periods of excavation, many residents live within a few hundred meters
- Reduction in local housing value
- Reduction in tourism and visitors - the warren currently attracts people from far and wide to the local area and this helps support the now thriving and award winning local pub.
- Exposure to Silica dust and the associated health issues, this is within 2 km of the local school
- Unsuitable road infrastructure for the removal of any waste material
- Close proximity to the local RAF base, increased water will increase the bird population and will be a risk for jets

In Summary this will have a devistating impact on the local community, school and pub and will destroy a thriving local receational and beauty spot.
