M25.8 describes “a small disused mineral working” on the Eastern boundary. This piece of green open land belongs to the Parish of Haddiscoe and is used by my children for playing. This land and the footpaths that run over the proposed site are also used by my family and many others. The massive increase in traffic, nuisance of noise and dust to us parishioners also poses a risk to children that play and could stray out into a working quarry. This is quite contrary to your own Minerals Strategic Objectives, in particular MSO7 which states “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” It is also at odds with your own Policy MW1 which is supposed to protect “Public Open Space, Local Green Space, the definitive Public Rights of Way network and outdoor recreation facilities.”
These green and natural open spaces are vital for both peoples health, welbeing and the environment and this has not been considered so is unsound and not positively prepared.
