Having recently seen the notice for excavation site MIN 116, I strongly object as the roads within the vicinity are not adequate for HGV vehicles, there is insufficient width to pass a lorry and car as it is difficult for two cars to pass. If those some lorries come into Cranworth then Shipdham onto the main Watton Road the junction at which they would turn regularly has vehicles taking the bollards and part of the property with it. The church bends have continuous damage because of the passing of larger vehicles. If they go through and come out the Shipdham Airfield Road, this is a busy road which they would have to exit onto, turning right into Toftwood which is already a busy congested road and with the intended housing developments will only get worse, and turning left will again bring them to the church beds in Shipdham. The site may well have the gravel etc but everything leading to it is inadequate. Drivers ignore sat navs (which also give false information) and in doing so have frequently blocked roads, both Hingham and Shipdham are rural villages and as such the infrastructure only meets these basic needs. Much road improvements would have to be given to allow the lorries the use but this would still not stop the noise (which carries far in the countryside), dust and loss of visual countryside views, together with the freedom of walkways and bridlepaths and wildlife.
