Respondent: Mr & Mrs Woodcock

Representation Summary:

I am writing to object to the digging of land on the Coltishall Road, Buxton, MIN 37, having had to endure 20 plus years of digging and waste filling of adjacent land to this site (Mayton Wood), I strongly object to this extra gravel extraction when this area is grossly over prescribed with quarries, I question the need for another quarry at this site which judging by the outline of the proposed land is only a few metres from my property, with the Mayton Wood quarry, Horstead have two sites Longwater and Tarmac with another in Spixworth, the unending wreckage of the local landscape is in every corner of this area, to be subjected to another quarry on the opposite side of the road from my property is unjustifiable, Being so close as this there would be no way of avoiding noise and dust from engulfing my property, I would also highlight inaccuracies in the information provided for MIN 37, it is most probable that the 96 metres minimum distance from the nearest property would be revised upon permission being granted and it will be excavated to the outline of the site as is so often the case. If the people and families opinions who live close to this proposed site have any value at all this site will not be given permission.
