Preferred Options consultation document

Representation ID: 98251

Received: 24/10/2019

Respondent: Marcus Aldren

Representation Summary:

I am writing to object to MIN 25, as part of the minerals and waste strategy review, being the proposed Pit at the land at Manor Farm, Haddiscoe.

My objection is in line with previous failed applications for a Pit at this site, namely, the close proximity of the proposed pit to the village of Haddiscoe. I note that the proposed pit site actually borders the western boundary of the village. I and my family live within 75 meters of the proposed site, we are retired and therefore spend all our time at the house. Of particular concern to me [redacted personal data], is the impact that dust and particulate matter will have on my health. As the prevailing wind is from a westerly direction, the extraction process will regularly shower properties in the village in dust and particulate matter, impacting the quality of air for the villagers. I therefore urge you to exclude this site from the councils minerals and waste strategy.
