In regards to suggesting Waveney Forest in Fritton could be a suitable mining location, there are many reasons why this should and must not happen,
There are many houses in the area, all of whom would be affected by the noise and dust( sound travels a long way here, traffic from the main road and also the trains can be heard and they are further off than the mining areas. It does get very windy here too, therefore follows that dust will travel)
The main road particularly the tight bend just after the decoy pub towards Gorleston does not seem a safe option, cars already cross to the other side let alone large lorries
The proposed new access is just off the brow of a hill so again, seems dangerous to suggest lorries should emerge from here safely, especially when we are dealing with 50 a day
Hundreds of people utilise the woods daily, whether its from dog walking , cycling, bird watching etc, to render this area unusable seems very destructive to the local community
Many animals class the woods as their home, deer, owls, squirrels, etc. With some of the woods having been already been destroyed and not replanted we would lose much more wildlife if a mine was allowed
There are areas of historical nature within the forest. It's also important to consider how many grenades/bombs have been discovered and exploded in the last few years. Mining could unearth more of these.
I object to this becoming a mine and agree with the councils opinion that this is not a suitable location.
