Preferred Options consultation document

Representation ID: 98467

Received: 28/10/2019

Respondent: Caroline O'Brien

Representation Summary:

As a resident of Stratton Strawless I wish to object to the above proposed mineral and waste extraction site on the following grounds.
The impact that this would have on the local area would be extremely damaging, the Manson Plantation is a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including great crested newts and deer, their habitat would be devastated. In a time when we should be protecting our environment not destroying it, this proposal is outrageous.
The additional vehicle movements would add to the traffic flow onto the A140 on an already busy and increasingly dangerous junction which already has a history of accidents.
Not only do I feel that this proposal would have an extremely negative impact on our parish it would also have a negative effect on the environment.
We will not just acquiesce and watch as our planet is taken apart for profit. Planning permission has already been granted for a lodge park on the site which includes plans to protect trees as part of that permission.
