Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Preferred Options - Mansom Plantation, Stratton Strawless - MIN 213
As a resident of Stratton Strawless I wish to OBJECT to the above proposed minerals and waste extraction site on the following grounds.
* The extraction site will be located within the centre of the parish, and therefore impact on the parish as a whole.
* Mansom Plantation is a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including great crested newts and a migratory route for deer. It is likely that these habitats will be destroyed. The countryside should be protected.
* The excavation and processing plants will generate dust and high levels of noise pollution.
* The estimated 76 vehicle movements a day will increase traffic flow onto A140, and be detrimental to residents health.
* The character of the Parish would be affected for a long time to come.
* Ponds on the site should be protected, it is likely that the water table will be affected by the extraction.
* Planning permission has already been granted for a holiday lodge park on the site and a landscape plan to protect tress exists as part of this permission.
The above points highlight the concerns of Stratton Strawless residents, and should be taken into consideration when deciding on the location of a minerals and waste extraction site in Norfolk.
We also need urgent action about the speed and weight of vehicles now using Short Thorn Rd, a lot of them sent by satnav as a short cut. This road has also become a terrible rat run and quite dangerous. We need a weight limit and for the speed to be reduced to 30mph.
