Initial Consultation document
Representation ID: 92304
Received: 12/08/2018
Respondent: Mrs L Wright
I am writing to express concerns I have about the three sites proposed for the expansion of Earsham Gravel Ltd In Earsham (Min 209, 210 and 211). My concerns about the proposals and the way they have been communicated are as follows:
* The map on the proposal application is misleading as it doesn't show most of the housing in the area.
* The sites are extremely close to the village and the dust, noise and emissions would negatively impact residents
* Only some residents, within a small radius of the proposed sites, have been informed by post with a very short notice period in which to voice any concerns they may have. In addition, many of the residence that would be effected by the expansion of Earsham Gravel are elderly and are unable to access the documents online and would find it difficult to travel to Libraries to access the information.
* Widening Hall road and increasing traffic (especially large industrial trucks) would discorrage many from using Pheasants walk and other public paths, which would make Earsham a less attractive place for visitors and residents.
* long term the proposals have no solid offer of improving the village
* the proposals for the site after gravel has been extracted are ambiguous
I feel that there should be an extended consultation period and clear, accessible information provided for the residents of Earsham.
