Preferred Options consultation document
Representation ID: 98771
Received: 30/10/2019
Respondent: Rt. Hon Elizabeth Truss MP
- I am extremely concerned by the proposal to include Shouldham Warren as a possible site for future silica quarrying, as per the Norfolk Local Minerals and Waste review, preferred options. Shouldham Warren is a unique and special area, part of a mediaeval warren in mature woodland. The flora and fauna along with the wildlife create a wonderful environment enjoyed by many including cyclists, bird watchers and walkers. I share local residents concerns that this location has been included as a potential future quarrying site. RAF Marham has already raised their objections to neighbouring location Sil 02 by Marham due to the potential for a bird strike and I am therefore at a loss why Shouldham Warren is still under consultation. In previous correspondence I have had with the Secretary of State at MHCLG, reference was made that the government does not set out how much silica sand the country needs, I would be therefore grateful if Shouldham Warren could be removed from the preferred options.
