Representation Summary:

Thank you for your letter of 13th September. I am astounded that less than six years after a planning application to extract gravel from the vicinity of land to the north west of StMary.s Church Haddiscoe was successfully opposed by residents of this village at great cost in time money and general anxiety the County Council is considering the area within 250 m of this church and my property as a suitable site for the extraction of sand and gravle. If the County Council peruses the planning documentation that should
still be on the planning departments files possibly at South Norfolk Diastrict Council all the relevant issues were discussed fully less than seven years ago and a correct decision was made to refuse planning for gravle extraction. The issues have been fully explored already but revolve around the local disturbance to residential areas , further heavy traffic and congestion on country roads and the already overbirdened A143 and the environmental impact on this region. Gravle has already been extracted many years ago from areas to the south and east of haddiscoe and sufficent material has already been taken from this locality. PleASE DO NOT include the arera in Haddiscoe in the local plan, the issue has not been properly publisied as many villagers have not received any notice by letter or otherwise of your proposals to consider the area for inclusion in the local plan, Any mineral extraction will need planning which once again will be strenuosly defenced by local residents and a full public consultation shpuld be made for all villagers to attend not just those within 250 metres of the sire as ot will affect all of us. Heavy lorries, noise due to increased trafiic and mining activities will make this village an unpleasant place for residents and destroy valuable wildlfe in a very rurla location. Any progression of these plans to extract gravle will be srtrongly objected to and every effort made to protect our lovely village so please reconsider, please
