Representation Summary:

Again with Min 25 Haddiscoe village is having to rebuff applications on gravel extraction. How many times must we reject these proposals? The proposed pit will negatively impact on all , not just the 20 immediately adjacent homes. The site is at a high point in our village, so sound of sand being sifted for the gravel it contains will carry across the valley and will reach all. The tree screening is deciduous, so useless in winter. In summer our local weather patten will result in fine dust covering all. The proposed artificial bunds would destroy the rural character.

Change suggested by respondent:

The impact of repeated applications for pit creations is threatening to destroy our village and is having a negative impact on the well being of our community and so all and any future applications must cease. Our fields are for cultivation of crops. Good farming stewardship would protect our arable land for future generations need for food, this surely should be an objective for a rural county like Norfolk.
In our experience creation of yet more holes in our village results in future applications to fill said hole with waste material.
