Respondent: Mrs Jane Lowe

Representation Summary:

We live in a property that backs onto the proposed site and were appalled to read of this idea. The roads in the vicinity are single track and there have already been many concerns raised at parish council meetings about the danger of increased traffic. This proposal would mean a totally unacceptable increase in traffic and noise to the road which would put lives of people and animals in danger.
Our house and outbuildings are of clay lump construction and therefore have substandard foundations - interference to the land around would potentially unsteady our foundations. Our area is peaceful and the noise of the countryside is why we live here - the proposed gravel pit would change the whole sound of the neighbourhood and interfere with wildlife. Our beautiful rural view would be obliterated as this would be clearly visible from our property and garden. This would have a long term impact on our lives and would be totally unacceptable. We would fight this to the bitter end using every inch of the law....
Destroying rural villages
Changing the character of the area which has been unchanged for centuries
