Initial Consultation document

Representation ID: 92280

Received: 13/08/2018

Respondent: Mr M Kemp

Representation Summary:

With reference to the above project l am disgusted that this situation has again arisen in the light of the previous application for a gravel pit in this area was defeated several times in the courts and finally rejected by Norfolk County Council.
This is a small village with narrow roads totally unsuitable for constant use by heavy lorries etc. We strongly protest at this back door attempt to bring to this village a project that was so vigorously fought over just for what appears to be the profit of a local farmer.
The benefit to the local community is virtually nil with few if any jobs for locals. The disruption that would be caused is totally unacceptable.

We therefore request you drop this idea and look elsewhere - to a place that will not affect so many people for such little return.
