I wish to lodge my objection to the proposed site SIL 02 as a preferred area for silica sand extraction at Marham and Shouldham.
As a resident of Marham who will over look the site I would like to voice my concern, of the impact on the wild life there are a lot of deer which roam freely around the village but come from the area in question. You hear owls at night and when you walk around the lanes, there is a lot of bird life. This is one of my concern wear are they all going to go when this is getting constructed.
But one of my biggest concerns is would you build a lake next to Herthrow Airport to attract birds to the area which has a lot of jet engines flying around. They say it is going to be a big lake and they are going to pump the sand from the bottom. I watch the planes go over the area in question and if they have to circle around before they land it is normal low. Now I believe that one of these planes cost millions of pounds and if one goes down were is it going to go down with the possibility of loss of life as well as lots of tax payers money. I am sure there are lots of reasons why it should not be built here but this area is part of the nations defence and it is to close to RAF Marham.
