Objection to MIN38 proposal
I have already posted details of my turbulence objection which I consider to be unanswerable by the developer. The dust particulates will be set onto nearby residences many having been ionised by the hightension wires crossing the area.Our medical advice is that the 2.5 particulates will stick in the lungs and cause a variety of troubles to both humans and animals ,horses being especially vunerable. I have been given a file containing the names and details of some 13 residents of New Rd suffering from bronchial difficulties, several have gone into details of their health which I do not feel I wish to disclose publically however I can present this file to an appropriate authority in confidence if required. Your department has suggested I retain it at the moment.
The County Council historic officer has stated that the military archives in the woods are many and varied and are so hidden and widely scattered as to leave little space for development if they are to be sustained. The owners have already destroyed some of the hides that we told them about, as they went about their everyday forestry activities. My own uncle was in the auxiliaries building these Fritton hides in the second world war,and there is so much more to be preserved as this type of archive is very hard to find nationally, these days and should be protected. Indeed I know English Heritage is looking into this.
Our new main worry is for Hillside Animal sanctuary which this year has moved in immediately south west of the site using some 200 acres and expect to house approx. 1000 horses some 300 will be very close indeed. These include old misused and vulnerable horses some with special needs. They are not likely to find sanctuary adjacent a mineral quarry. Any run off from the quarry could run down into the dykes which they drink.
These same dykes have been dredged to facilitate the passage of eels from the river Waveney to Fritton Lake. Eels are of course protected and again would be vulnerable to any run off from the quarry just above.
All our other worries about this proposal still apply and I particulary worry about the 50 lorries they suggest could join the A143 .I do not accept the Highways contention that the road could absorb this traffic .No one has recently seemed to assess this road .The tail backs which occur daily now extend from Haddiscoe to Fritton Lake and the traffic from Lowestoft often cannot join and has to wait. The tight corner in Fritton produces many accidents and heavy lorries in different directions struggle to pass one another. The suggested access road would ruin the overhead tree canopy between our two villages.
Noise the complete traquility in the forest would be destroyed.
Fire the forest has always been a fire hazard and due to the surface materials it usually takes days to extinguish. Machinery of any sort only needs to produce a single spark on the tinder dry land.
There are many clubs that use the woods for a variety of reasons due to the biodiversity.
As the principle woodland amenity for Lowestoft and Gt Yarmouth these trees can t be spared.
The forestry commission seeks to ask for more trees to sequestrate carbon not less.
There are numerous other reasons why this proposal should simply not be contemplated but we have wasted enough valuable time fighting these people please do not spend public money by giving the proposal further consideration
