As a resident of Stratton Strawless I wish to OBJECT to the above proposed minerals and waste extraction site on the following grounds.
* The extraction site will be located within the centre of the parish, and therefore impact on the parish as a whole.
* Mansom Plantation is a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including great crested newts and a migratory route for deer. It is likely that these habitats will be destroyed. The countryside should be protected.
* The excavation and processing plants will generate dust and high levels of noise pollution.
* The estimated 76 vehicle movements a day will increase traffic flow onto A140, and be detrimental to residents health. Shortthorn Road already has enough lorries up and down it with a width issue in various places causing vehicles to mount the kerb and peoples driveways. Loaded Aggregate lorries pulling out onto A140 will bring a serious safety issue because of their slow acceleration. Its a very busy junction at peak times.
* The character of the Parish would be affected for a long time to come.
* Ponds on the site should be protected, it is likely that the water table will be affected by the extraction.
* Planning permission has already been granted for a holiday lodge park on the site and a landscape plan to protect tress exists as part of this permission.
* The buffer/screening area will be insufficient to shield the site from view in the Autumn/Winter.
* This plan needs to be sited somewhere else where its appropriate to its location. Definitely not in Stratton Strawless.
