Representation ID: 98344

Received: 10/10/2019

Respondent: Mr Paul Ebbens

Representation Summary:

I would like to comment and object to the proposed quarrying's of areas known as Min 74, Min 77 and Min 206.
I feel that digging sand and gravel in these areas to then make concrete to be poured over another part of the County is environmentally unsound.
These areas are currently arable land, during the quarrying local residents have to endure years of noise and disruption caused by heavy plant working from 7am to 5pm. Along with contractors, subcontractors and landowners breaking planning laws and causing permanent damage to the local environment i.e. a local ancient spring and two ponds in a SSSI conservation area.
Once the quarrying is over the land becomes vast areas filled with water fenced off and used for the purpose of shooting bewildered barn raised ducks.
