Preferred Options consultation document

Respondent: Sara Aldren

Representation Summary:

I would like to register my objections to the proposed site as part of the mineral extraction strategy, in Haddiscoe.
I am on the view that gravel extraction would have a detrimental impact on the well-being of villagers and the village as a whole. Indeed, the extraction process would cause many health issues (physical and mental health) from noise, particulate matter and HGV traffic pollution, particularly as the proposed site would be within 50 meters of residents. Our family would be directly affected living in such close proximity (our house is on the boarder of the site), [redacted text - personal data], as well as the noise pollution, having an adverse impact on my family's mental and physical wellbeing.
This site has been considered and rejected at the highest level in the recent past, all the points raised then in terms of sheer size, environmental impact both to wildlife (boarding the Broads National Park) and the issues of noise and particulate matter, along with traffic disruption and lack of road infrastructure still remain. I am sure there are many more suitable sites available to the council, that are not in such close proximity to a pretty village in Norfolk without causing such a detrimental impact on a community.
