Initial Consultation document

Representation ID: 92258

Received: 17/08/2018

Respondent: Ms K Bowles

Representation Summary:

I am emailing you as I would like to lodge my objection to the proposed site SIL 02 as a preferred area for silica sand extraction.

I believe your proposal is an act of corporate vandalism on this rural area.

There is no economic benefit to be had by the people who live in this area but will, rather, have detrimental effect on house prices, house insurance and a reduction in tourist income for local businesses.

The local infrastructure is unsuitable for such a major project with the MOD already restricting HGV traffic.
