I live next to this proposed site and strongly object to it. The roads in the vicinity are single track and are wholly unsuited to bringing industrial traffic into the area. The increased traffic of large vehicles would be highly dangerous for the residents and local wildlife.
It is a historical area with many of the houses being built in the traditional clay lump or flint construction and therefore have substandard foundations - interference to the land around from mining and heavy goods vehicles would potentially unsteady 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. We have many rare species which would be directly affected by these plans including nesting red kites. Our beautiful rural country site will be obliterated as this would be clearly visible from many roads and would destroy the peace of the footpath which is used daily by many dog walkers and horse riders . This would have a long term impact on our lives, the landscape and wildlife of this ancient area... totally unsuitable.
What will be used to fill the massive hole after 20 years for digging... Landfill Site??!!
