Respondent: Mrs Julie Catmore

Representation Summary:

1) I would expect to be disturbed by constant and considerable noise during working hours and actually moved to the countryside in order to enjoy the peace and quiet and enjoy the natural sounds of birdsong which would either be drowned out or frightened away by the increased volume of traffic and loud rumbling of the extraction site.
2) dust pollution could be considerable and constant during working hours as my property is in close proximity to the site. I have two small Grandsons whom I care for regularly 2-3 days each week who enjoy playing in my garden, I would anticipate on certain days this would not be possible and would impact mine and my families health, lifestyle and wellbeing.
3) Although I understand the vehicular route will not pass by my property I would expect the village to be affected by the increase in volume of heavy lorries causing tailbacks in the village, affecting the noise quality of properties on the Beccles Road opposite the Loddon Road junction, also making this junction even more of a hazardous spot than it is now.
Many thanks in advance for your consideration of my objections.

I thank you for your letter notifying me of the proposed mineral extraction site in Haddiscoe on land between Loddon Road, Crabapple Lane and Thorpe Road. As my property lies nestled within 250 metres of this site I would like my objections on record and taken into account as follows:
