Respondent: Mr Raymond Watts

Representation Summary:

I wish to object to the proposed Silica extraction sites, namely: (SIL 02) at Marham and (AOS E) adjacent to Shouldham Warren.
I write this as a 71 year old man who [redacted text - personal data] therefore probably won't be around before the commencement of this devastating work. However, my conscience won't let me ignore this.
My wife and I moved to Shouldham in 2006. We have moved around from London, Essex, Kent and finally to Shouldham, where we have escaped the madness of increasing population and development of our green and pleasant land.
For this development to take place would be a travesty of common sense and a betrayal of the authorities obligation to it's population, that you are elected to serve.
The official campaigners have explained in eloquent terms, just had this will affect wildlife, the people in Marham and Shouldham, for years to come. This is a life changing event that will go on for years. The younger people in this area and their families, who are invested for the long haul by choice, will be forever affected.
This is without a doubt, a severe case of development vandalism. We know progress depends on change, but in this area the proposed change is overwhelming and irreversible.
I appeal that this be taken off of the Norfolk Minerals and Waste Plan, for the good of the community that you serve.
