Representation Summary:

Regarding MIN116 Proposed Site MIN 116 'land at Woodrising Road, Cranworth - Objection

Our home is on the eastern boundary of the proposed site. The prevailing wind is from the west and we would suffer greatly from dust being blown around and in the house. During site working hours it is likely we would not be able to be outside in the garden or be able to have windows open.
Noise would also be an issue as this is a very quiet area. The prevailing wind is from the west and often strong. Trees and a bund will not stop dust affecting our house inside and out. For the same reason the existing very low background noise levels and extremely low traffic density means the new noise would be significant and intrusive. This part of Norfolk has no artificial lighting so, at night, the sky is black. The artificial lighting necessary to operate or secure the site would destroy that.

If the site is given permission our property and those of our neighbours would suffer significant reductions in value and so we would seek to recoup those reductions from the Council.
