Representation Summary:

Objection to Quarrying at Shouldham Warren (AOS E)
Shouldham Warren is known and loved by us all. Bikers, hikers, dog walkers, families.
I object to silica sand mining taking place in the area of Shouldham Warren and its surroundings as it is used for outdoor exercise by all the above groups; young and old.
The loss of the area for the community and further afield would be devastating to mental health and well-being and, environmentally a disaster when the recycling of glass to reduce mining for silica sand is easily achievable. "Our environment is our most precious inheritance," says DEFRA, so I urge Norfolk County Council to not allocate Shouldham Warren in the Minerals and Waste Local Plan, Preferred Options July 2019.
