Preferred Options consultation document

Representation ID: 98947

Received: 15/10/2019

Respondent: The Householder

Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

We wish to unequivocally state our objection to the proposal listed as MIN23 that is included in Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan Consultation, which would be situated close to the village of Beeston.
The proposed site is in open countryside and within 120 metres proximity of residential properties on the northern settlement boundary of Beeston. This would profoundly and negatively impact the quality of life for the residents of Beeston.

The impacts of such a proposal would particularly and wholly unfairly affect those residents living along Back Lane and The Street.

If permitted this proposal would not only be highly visible within the village but would cause completely unacceptable levels of environmental degradation in terms of associated dust, pollution and noise for Beeston residents and is therefore completely unsuitable.

The unacceptable destruction of valuable farming land and wildlife habitat cannot be considered compatible with any environmental sustainability, conservation, or climate change offset objectives.

Additionally, the impacts caused by the volume of HGV's using the existing site already negatively affects road safety, vehicle pollution and the amenity value of our village. This proposal would make this situation yet far worse.

Furthermore, we strongly object to the inclusion of this site in the initial consultation, together with the preferred options documentation and wish to wholly and unequivocally endorse the conclusion that the site is UNSUITABLE as stated by Norfolk County Council.

We also endorse the conclusions stated by the Highways Authority and request that the proposals contained in MIN23 be permanently excluded from further consultations for the reasons outlined above and those outlined by many other Beeston residents.
