This the second time this gravel pit proposal has been submitted in 8 years. I moved here after the previous application was rejected I did not expect it to be re-submitted again in such a short time frame. I believe there should be at least 20 years between such a submission.

I feel that there has not been a material change in the reasons given for the last application to be refused I feel that M25.9 is misleading. Mr Simon Smith (Planning NCC) states 'The landscape & visual impacts of the proposed pit development including the construction of artificial bunds & land-raised areas would be detrimental to the appearance & rural character of the area'.... and...'The proposed development would adversely affect the amenities of nearby residents due to increased noise. dust & traffic that would arise from the proposed quarry' this applies to the whole of the village of Haddiscoe & Thorpe-next-Haddiscoe not just the proximity to the church of St Mary. Therefore, I believe this to be unsound & not positively prepared.
Soundness tests: Not justified, not effective, not positively prepared, not consistent with national policy
