M25.8 describes “a small disused mineral working” on the Eastern boundary. This piece of land belongs to the Parish of Haddiscoe and is used as a recreational ground for children playing and dog walkers. Apart from the nuisance of noise and dust to these parishioners, children play unsupervised and although they may stray out of the pit onto agricultural fields it would be a quite different matter if they fell into a working quarry. This is quite contrary to your own Minerals Strategic Objectives, in particular MSO7 which states “To ensure potential impacts on the amenity of those people living in proximity to minerals development are effectively controlled, minimised and mitigated to acceptable levels” It is also at odds with your own Policy MW1 which is supposed to protect “Public Open Space, Local Green Space, the definitive Public Rights of Way network and outdoor recreation facilities” This is unsound and not positively prepared. This site is allocation is unsound and ineffective
