I feel this leads on from my previous paragraph there is a 'small disused gravel pit' on the eastern boundary of the proposed site. This piece of land belongs to the Parish of Haddiscoe it is used by most of the local residents as a recreational area where the peace of the countryside can be enjoyed. It is used as a safe area to walk dogs and for local children to play. The proposed workings would produce an unacceptable level of noise & dust for this area to be enjoyed. At present children can play unsupervised safely in this, area it they stray they will only stray onto arable land it would quite dangerous if were into a working quarry. This counter 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 minimalised & mitigated to acceptable levels' also MW1 of your own policy which is there to protect 'Public Open Spaces, Local Green Areas the Rights of Way network & Outdoor Recreation Facilities. Therefore, I believe this to be unsound & not positively prepared.
Soundness tests: Not justified, not effective, not positively prepared, not consistent with national policy
