Initial Consultation document

Representation ID: 92538

Received: 10/08/2018

Respondent: Mr G Parker

Representation Summary:

In view of the recent scorching weather, and news that farmers will be under stress for years to come trying to provide for an ever increasing population, I must ask if this is really the time to commandeer so much agricultural land for building materials, when it will be at such a premium for its Primary Purpose?
I am very concerned about the noise pollution which will inevitably accompany an extraction site within 250 metres of my house.
I must add, however that I am amazed that so much PRODUCTIVE land can be sacrificed in this way. The recent weather has changed the news, and the future looks bleak enough, and even worse if the bread basket of East Anglia is to be swallowed by solar farms and extraction sites.

Further to my earlier email, and our telephone conversation, I am very concerned about the noise pollution which will inevitably accompany an extraction site within 250 metres of my house.
