Preferred Options consultation document

Representation Summary:

You say our house is located within 250 metres of the site MIN 116, indeed it is 48 paces from our own back door to the edge of the site and that's not even walking in a straight line and partly in our garden. I was shocked when I saw the highlighted site because of its proximity to our house!
I would like to point out the roads around the site are very narrow, it's bad enough meeting another car let alone a lorry or two lorries meeting -
The site is partly surrounded by seven houses, and it is part of the Woodrising shoot - it is teeming with wildlife - deer, hares, pheasants, partridges - frogs, newts - buzzards, kites and small birds. It is barely a field away from out medieval church in Woodrising with its protected population of bats; and not far from the recently opened Breckland Crematorium so there will be an increasing amount of funeral traffic in the area.
We think it would have a detrimental impact on the area - let alone on our peace and quiet etc at the Hurdlemakers Cottage and therefore we strongly object.
