Respondent: Bryan Veriod

Representation Summary:

With regard to the application to use Manson Plantation for sand and gravel extraction, I have bisect I n the strongest possible terms, for the following reasons:-

1) Shortthorn Rd. Is manifestly NOT suited for large Lorry's ,Those Lorry's misguided by Sat-Nav devices find themselves either stuck, or more likely damage the front of gardens that face the road by riding roughshod over plants or grass edging.

2) There is a large herd of deer in Manson Plantation.. With the worlds concern for animals losing their environment and the impact of such large mining operations the deer would lose their natural habitat. That would not sit well with local media and I'm sure Norfolk County Council would reap any repercussions from such a loss.

3) Shortthorn Rd has for the past few years been subject to several planning applications for some bizarre subjects ranging from paint balling, rubbishy dumps, recycling plants etc.etc and one that did get through despite quite large local objection was a caravan site. This area is mainly a residential site and should this application go through, there would be a case to answer from the local authority Ombudsman.
