Respondent: Mr Peter Bond
I am writing to lodge my strong objection to the proposed gravel and sand quarry at woodrising road (Site MIN116).
This area is one of the most unspoilt and beautiful areas in this locality and would be totally ruined by having a such a large excavation together with the attendant heavy vehicles, going to and from the site all day and every day. The narrow lanes in the area are unsuited for this type of heavy traffic, and are currently used by equestrians, dog walkers, hikers and cyclists.
The noise from heavy vehicle engines will be heard over a wide area, not to mention the extremely irritating sound all day long of industrial vehicle reverse beepers, which due to their high pitch can be heard plainly over great distances.
The fact that the only notice from the council of this, was a small notice put up at the site, and the short period in which to register an objection, would seem to indicate an attempt to push this proposal through by stealth. Most people in the area would not have been made aware, had it not been for the sharp eye of one local resident.
As a community we will be looking to the council to rethink this terrible plan.
