M25.2 describes 80 HGV movements per day but if the processed gravel is to be transported from Norton to Gt Yarmouth or Lowestoft, further HGV movements through Haddiscoe will add considerably to the overall traffic count. Inevitably, not all of these 80 plus HGV movements will be directly between the Breedon Quarry at Norton Subcourse and Crab Apple lane in Haddiscoe (e.g. HGVs on route from other drop offs to Gt Yarmouth or Lowestoft). The roads through the village of Haddiscoe are single track and already heavily used. Without restrictions on the 80 plus additional Breedon HGVs travelling though the village of Haddisoce, the approval of the Crab Apple Lane site will adversely impact the safety of villagers. Additionally, Crab Apple Lane itself is a single track road, with no way to pass a lorry and no option to reverse onto the busy B1136. Last week there was an accident on this road junction as a lorry was unable to stop driving straight through a fence and hedge. This is unsound and not positively prepared
