M25.1 Does not address the matter of light pollution we benefit from 'dark skies' in this area where the night sky can be enjoyed the year round. The proposed site is central, very close to residents and is at one of the highest points in the village. I believe this to be contrary to section 2.4 of the document. Therefore, I believe this to be unsound & not positively prepared.
M25.1 Of all sites MIN25 has the highest amount of residential properties with in 250m of the proposed quarry the other sites having less than 20 within the same 250m. The proposed quarry is right in the middle of our Village is contrary to your own Minerals Strategic Objectives. MS07 state' to ensure potential impacts on the amenity of those people living in proximity to minerals development are effectively controlled minimised & mitigated to acceptable levels. Therefore, I believe this to be unsound & not positively prepared.
