Preferred Options consultation document

Representation ID: 98940

Received: 09/10/2019

Respondent: Mr Stephen Medler

Representation Summary:

Proposed quarry at Mansom Plantation, Shortthorn Road, Stratton Strawless
I have received a document from our Parish Council relating to the above which asks for comments.
I won't be making an official objection as the residents of this road know it's a waste of time.
When I applied for permission to build one bungalow, one of the reasons given by Broadland Council for refusing was the need to minimise travel on Shortthorn Road, now one of your preferred options is for approx.. 75 heavy goods vehicles movements on this road each day. Apart from your double standards, this road is simply too narrow. When I drive along it I often have to pull in a gateway to let a lorry pass.

Bearing in mind the current talk on climate change, the need for wildlife protection, this seems to fly in the face of all your so called commitments.

You will do whatever you want as you always do, democracy doesn't exist where you are concerned or Broadland District Council, the word Hypocrites come to mind.

Proposed quarry at Mansom Plantation, Shortthorn Road, Stratton Strawless
Morning, I have received a document from our Parish Council relating to the above which asks for comments.
I won't be making an official objection as the residents of this road know it's a waste of time. In 2009 permission was given for a travellers site at Woodside Stables, Shortthorn Road and at a public meeting in the village hall only one person out of a packed room voted for it but it went ahead anyhow. They have carried on building on this site and there are today, stacks of bricks still to be used. When the permission was granted was this open ended? Perhaps you can check with your colleagues at Broadland D.C. When I applied for permission to build one bungalow, one of the reasons given by Broadland Council for refusing was the need to minimise travel on Shortthorn Road, now one of your preferred options is for approx.. 75 heavy goods vehicles movements on this road each day. Apart from your double standards, this road is simply too narrow. When I drive along it I often have to pull in a gateway to let a lorry pass.

Bearing in mind the current talk on climate change, the need for wildlife protection, this seems to fly in the face of all your so called commitments.
If I put a plastic bottle in the wrong bin I can be fined hundreds of pounds.

You will do whatever you want as you always do, democracy doesn't exist where you are concerned or Broadland District Council, the word Hypocrites come to mind.
