Representation Summary:

I wish to object to the proposed site SIL 02 as a preferred area for silica sand extraction.

We are extremely concerned about the development of this site.

We object too to the fact that until we saw a notice on a telegraph post we were unaware that this development was be a preferred site. There has been no information from the company to inform the residents who may be affected.

Our objections are :

The roads are not built for the influx of yet more heavy vehicles.

We would also be very concerned that the impact would have a detrimental effect on our heritage of the ancient footpaths and especially Pentney Abbey, plus the destruction of wildlife.

We are elderly with certain health problems that could be made worse by any residual dust from the workings.
