Respondent: Mr D Bowles
I would like to lodge my objection to the proposed site SIL 02 as a preferred area for silica sand extraction in the strongest possible terms.
I believe your proposal will have major impacts on both the local community and the local environment and wildlife in this rural area.
There is will be no economic benefit to be had by the way of employment for the local people, in fact there will be severe detrimental effects on property values and resale potential, trapping local residents in this degraded environment.
The local infrastructure is also unsuitable for such a major project with the MOD already restricting HGV traffic and making it avoid Marham village.
The stated proposal is also extremely over optimistic on the project's overall impact and also on the effectiveness of any mitigating measures for local residents.
