Preferred Options consultation document

Representation ID: 98229

Received: 08/10/2019

Respondent: Mrs S Bonta-White

Representation Summary:

I am writing to express my objection of the proposed gravel and sand quarry on Woodrising road. I was greatly disappointed to have to find out about this through social media instead of my local council.
This proposed plan will negatively affect wildlife and ecosystems around the area in a time when governments and local councils should be looking for ways to protect flora and fauna (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-49892209). It will not only have an impact on wildlife but on our neighbourhoods too, with an increase of heavy traffic, noise, dust and produce an eyesore within one of the most beautiful parts of this county. Furthermore, the area is used by dog walkers, horse riders, cyclists, walkers and families with young children. As a neighbourhood and a community, we believe that a gravel and sand quarry does not belong in our beautiful local area and are completely against it.


Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
