Received: 08/10/2019

Respondent: Mrs Ann Cullum

Representation Summary:

My objections to the proposed sand and gravel extraction from Manson Plantation are as follows

The heavy lorries coming onto the A140 would be an added nightmare, there have been so many accidents at that junction over the years that added heavily laden lorries would make it much worse.
Also which roadways would they then be going onto? if it where either Parish road or Waterloo road to cut across country that would be much worse as those roads are not wide enough.
Wildlife would suffer, many Deer roam in that area, gravel workings would most likely drive them out onto the roads while they are trying to access their usual browsing grounds.
Noise is another point, living in a Park Home at Stratton Strawless, our insulation isn't up to brick build homes and constant noise would be terrible, loud noises do travel, such as the noise from the shooting range on weekends, which we all have to endure, while just wanting a quite time in our homes and gardens.
