Respondent: Mr C Thorpe

Representation Summary:

I would like to object to the proposed plan to increase the size of the mineral extraction site north of back lane Beeston.
1. The extension to the site will bring it to close to the village
2. The site can not be landscaped from the village of Beeston.
3. It will increase the amount of HGV traffic through the village and surrounding area.
4. It will increase the noise level from the site, we already have to put up with reversing alarm all day
5. It will have a negative impact on the wellbeing of local residents

Representation Summary:

Agree with the assessment of this site. Mileham Road is unsuitable for continuous HGV movements and its junction with the Litcham Road (C222) has an inadequate visibility splay to the east. This site is unsuitable and should not be allocated.

Respondent: Beeston with Bittering parish council

Representation Summary:

In the previous consultation, the parish council objected to the inclusion of MIN23 in the proposed plan. The parish council is pleased to see the conclusion reached by NCC in this consultation that the site should NOT be included in the new MWLP and therefore the parish council supports the proposed position that is taken by NCC to remove this proposed site from the emerging local plan.

Representation Summary:

We wish to unequivocally state our objection to the proposal listed as MIN23 that is included in Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan Consultation, which would be situated close to the village of Beeston.
The proposed site is in open countryside and within 120 metres proximity of residential properties on the northern settlement boundary of Beeston. This would profoundly and negatively impact the quality of life for the residents of Beeston.

The impacts of such a proposal would particularly and wholly unfairly affect those residents living along Back Lane and The Street.

If permitted this proposal would not only be highly visible within the village but would cause completely unacceptable levels of environmental degradation in terms of associated dust, pollution and noise for Beeston residents and is therefore completely unsuitable.

The unacceptable destruction of valuable farming land and wildlife habitat cannot be considered compatible with any environmental sustainability, conservation, or climate change offset objectives.

Additionally, the impacts caused by the volume of HGV's using the existing site already negatively affects road safety, vehicle pollution and the amenity value of our village. This proposal would make this situation yet far worse.

Furthermore, we strongly object to the inclusion of this site in the initial consultation, together with the preferred options documentation and wish to wholly and unequivocally endorse the conclusion that the site is UNSUITABLE as stated by Norfolk County Council.

We also endorse the conclusions stated by the Highways Authority and request that the proposals contained in MIN23 be permanently excluded from further consultations for the reasons outlined above and those outlined by many other Beeston residents.
