Respondent: Mr J Marriott
I am writing in response to proposed site, MIN 74, Land at Turf Field, Watlington Road.
I find the proposed site unsuitable for the following reasons.
1; Dust. As winds blow predominantly from West to East, I get the dust from this field whenever there's a tractor, or combine doing it's job, This, I accept, as it's farming, but Quarrying daily would mean constant dust throughout the day, even with the slightest of breezes.
2; Noise, As the wind travells East, so does sound, I always hear any activity in this field before I can see it, and once again, Quarrying daily would mean constant machine noise throughout the day.
3; The site is about 80 metres from my property, being within the 100 metres that the council say would receive the greatest impact.
I appreciate these 3 reasons could be said about anything, anywhere, but this field seems to have it's own wind stream, or perhaps I get the conciquences more, as my ground is some 2 metres higher than the field in question, but whatever the theory, I have pictures and video's, to support my comments.
I would like to think i'm being fair by saying, the Quarry and it's access were there before I moved here, however, there was no Quarrying to the West of me, and taking into account the 3 reasons above, is why I oppose the application for MIN 74.
