The site abuts the centre of Haddiscoe village, so that it is located less than 250m from a significant number of residential properties. Our own family home is the closest of all to the site, being located between the site and the Church of St Mary. Our house is situated on the B1136, a mere 40m from the site boundary, 300m from the B1136/Crab Apple Lane junction, and 150m from the B1136/A143 junction. MSO7 of paragraph 4.3 (Minerals Strategic Objectives) of the Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan promises 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.” Given the location of our home, immediately next door to the site and very near to the main road junctions, it would be unreasonable to claim that objective MSO7 could possibly be met. In addition to the heavy goods vehicle traffic which would be created in the immediate vicinity of our home, noise and dust from the site itself are bound to be so intrusive as to substantially affect our lifestyle, health and wellbeing. It is inconceivable that fencing or screening of any type could provide sufficient and adequate mitigation.
