Site MIN116 - proposed gravel and sand extraction site at Woodrising Road Southburgh/Cranworth
I would like to object to the proposed site as.
I think it unlikely that noise levels will be unchanged in a very rural area.
MIN 116.8
We would have some visual intrusion "of a lesser magnitude" than some, but anticipate some from the house.
It would be sad to see the large old oak trees removed from the landscape. I notice some trees and scrub have already been cleared nearby but not on the particular area proposed. I note wildlife field boundaries that have been established several years have been removed already.
The acknowledged impact on the roads locally will be a major change for the area. I would anticipate lots of verge damage and some hedgerows going to allow passing places. I note the proposed route for lorries, but would this be their exclusive route, or would they use any of the other routes out of the area to access other directions eg Dereham? All roads are narrow with many being single track. All are used by cyclists, horses, walkers all day every day whatever the weather, as well as traffic of course.
The major impact on the landscape in undeniable, and will extend beyond the site itself.
We walk and ride there daily and would find site traffic prohibitive in getting to and using the right of way we presently enjoy, not to mention anticipating riding past the site boundary being dangerous and difficult.
