Respondent: Jenny Simpson

Representation Summary:

I would like to lodge my objection to the inclusion of the above site in the local waste and mineral plan - specifically the fact that this site is being proposed for a quarry. The proposed site is extremely close to our Grade 1 listed village church - what impact would prolonged excavations have on the foundations of this building? The far reaching views from this elevated site would be ruined, as would the views for many residents. It seems as though most of West Norfolk is being earmarked for being dug up with little thought given to the environment and local residents.
