we need to protect the earth from exploitation and find other non invasive ways of providing for human needs or learn to live differently.

This is not sustainable for the planet which means it's not sustainable for the human race

We disagree with the conclusion of Min 206 . this site will mean ongoing disruption especially to residents of Tottenhill Row who have had to suffer with previous and present mineral extraction Min 75 , Min 76 etc. Location of this site is also going to be part of the proposed wildlife park and we believe is a conflict of interests for the landowner and Quarry if this site was allowed , protecting wildlife and environment yet ravaging and decimating the land for many years.

Representation Summary:

Proposed start date would overlap with current quarrying operations at MIN76.
Access to site is the same entrance on Watlington Road as that proposed as the access road to the recently approved Watlington Safari Park. I don't consider it safe or appropriate to have tourist traffic and construction HGVs using the same access.
Consideration also needs to be given to the cumulative effect of increased traffic around the A10/A134 roundabout area and Watlington Road due to proposed site, safari park, large scale housing development in West Winch.

Objection to AOS E - Land Between Marham and Shouldham and includes Shouldham Warren
I object to AOS E, including Shouldham Warren and the overlap with formerly SIL 02, in the Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan. I strongly object to the fact that Norfolk County Council has deliberately misled residents by announcing the removal of SIL 02 when in reality a third of it is now/still included in AOS E.
As a member of the community, I echoed the concerns held by the Ministry of Defence when they objected to these proposals, due to the fact that the plan of a wet working and restoration in close proximity to RAF Marham, well within the statutory 13 kms limit, will increase the risk of "bird strikes" or worst-case scenario, end in an aircraft crash and potential loss of life. The economic cost of such a mishap would be greater than £1 00M just to replace an F35 Lightning II; add to that the costs for the emergency services and for the immediate and subsequent treatments through the NHS for the physical and mental injuries caused, and the financial costs become an unaffordable risk.
Permanent loss of agricultural land will impact rural Norfolk, its farming jobs, jobs of local employees i.e. British Sugar, including the increased need for home grown food, due to the impact of Brexit.
I object to the negative impact on villagers'/visitors' health. According to Public Health Profile 2018, our villages have higher levels of respiratory problems and reduced respiratory function (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma), silica particles will exacerbate these conditions. Loss of natural spaces has been proven to adversely affect health, mental and physical. This fenland and forest (Shouldham Warren) is our community's public open space, our gym and our sanctuary, hundreds of people use it daily for physical recreation and social wellbeing interactions.
I object to the fact that the plan would ruin the Landscape, Shouldham Warren, the Countryside, including habitats for birds, animals, and insects. The Warren is home to 64 species of conservation concern, including endangered bats, nightjars and woodlarks. We need nature and trees now more than ever to combat pollution and climate change.
I object to the unsustainable use of a finite mineral resource, when the county only recycles a fraction of the glass already in circulation. There are national government policies and guidance including DEFRA and the Dept for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy that are clearly being ignored in order to allow a privately-owned Belgian company to profit from the devastation of our community asset, landscape and environment.
I further object to the worrying possibility of damage to our Public Water. It is very concerning that if quarrying was allowed to take place, whether through wet or dry working, the water supply could be affected, as the whole area of AOS E has very productive to moderately productive aquifers.
A further objection relates to the lack of restoration plans. Any restoration would take in excess of 30 years, until then the community would suffer from a devastated industrial landscape, increased flow of heavy articulated lorries, preventing any appreciation of its landscape and countryside. Sibelco has a poor track record for restoration in the area, and have failed to ensure safety of sites after extraction - its Bawsey site was the cause of deaths by drowning. The company has not been a 'good neighbour' and has done nothing to engage with the community or alleviate residents' concerns.
Lastly, I object to the fact that there would be no benefit to the local community or economy if this proposal goes through. What is clear is that a number of local communities will bear the brunt of a hugely disruptive and harmful industrial process; that a very popular public amenity enjoyed by a much larger section of the population will be permanently lost; and the only beneficiaries of this development will be a few landowners, Norfolk County Council, but principally the private owners of the Belgian company Sibelco.
Given that County Councils are responsible for the provision of public services for taxpayers and community wellbeing, and not the promotion of harmful and irresponsible businesses that present no local benefit, but with multiple risks, dictates that Norfolk County Council should put public interest before private profit.
Please record this as my objection,

Lastly, I object to the fact that there would be no benefit to the local community or economy if this proposal goes through. What is clear is that a number of local communities will bear the brunt of a hugely disruptive and harmful industrial process; that a very popular public amenity enjoyed by a much larger section of the population will be permanently lost; and the only beneficiaries of this development will be a few landowners, Norfolk County Council, but principally the private owners of the Belgian company Sibelco.
Given that County Councils are responsible for the provision of public services for taxpayers and community wellbeing, and not the promotion of harmful and irresponsible businesses that present no local benefit, but with multiple risks, dictates that Norfolk County Council should put public interest before private profit.

Objection to AOS E - Land Between Marham and Shouldham and includes Shouldham Warren
I object to AOS E, including Shouldham Warren and the overlap with formerly SIL 02, in the Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan. I strongly object to the fact that Norfolk County Council has deliberately misled residents by announcing the removal of SIL 02 when in reality a third of it is now/still included in AOS E.
As a member of the community, I echoed the concerns held by the Ministry of Defence when they objected to these proposals, due to the fact that the plan of a wet working and restoration in close proximity to RAF Marham, well within the statutory 13 kms limit, will increase the risk of "bird strikes" or worst-case scenario, end in an aircraft crash and potential loss of life. The economic cost of such a mishap would be greater than £1 00M just to replace an F35 Lightning II; add to that the costs for the emergency services and for the immediate and subsequent treatments through the NHS for the physical and mental injuries caused, and the financial costs become an unaffordable risk.
Permanent loss of agricultural land will impact rural Norfolk, its farming jobs, jobs of local employees i.e. British Sugar, including the increased need for home grown food, due to the impact of Brexit.
I object to the negative impact on villagers'/visitors' health. According to Public Health Profile 2018, our villages have higher levels of respiratory problems and reduced respiratory function (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma), silica particles will exacerbate these conditions. Loss of natural spaces has been proven to adversely affect health, mental and physical. This fenland and forest (Shouldham Warren) is our community's public open space, our gym and our sanctuary, hundreds of people use it daily for physical recreation and social wellbeing interactions.
I object to the fact that the plan would ruin the Landscape, Shouldham Warren, the Countryside, including habitats for birds, animals, and insects. The Warren is home to 64 species of conservation concern, including endangered bats, nightjars and woodlarks. We need nature and trees now more than ever to combat pollution and climate change.
I object to the unsustainable use of a finite mineral resource, when the county only recycles a fraction of the glass already in circulation. There are national government policies and guidance including DEFRA and the Dept for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy that are clearly being ignored in order to allow a privately-owned Belgian company to profit from the devastation of our community asset, landscape and environment.
I further object to the worrying possibility of damage to our Public Water. It is very concerning that if quarrying was allowed to take place, whether through wet or dry working, the water supply could be affected, as the whole area of AOS E has very productive to moderately productive aquifers.
A further objection relates to the lack of restoration plans. Any restoration would take in excess of 30 years, until then the community would suffer from a devastated industrial landscape, increased flow of heavy articulated lorries, preventing any appreciation of its landscape and countryside. Sibelco has a poor track record for restoration in the area, and have failed to ensure safety of sites after extraction - its Bawsey site was the cause of deaths by drowning. The company has not been a 'good neighbour' and has done nothing to engage with the community or alleviate residents' concerns.

I object to AOS E, including Shouldham Warren and the overlap with formerly SIL 02, in the Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan. I strongly object to the fact that Norfolk County Council has deliberately misled residents by announcing the removal of SIL 02 when in reality a third of it is now/still included in AOS E.
As a member of the community, I echoed the concerns held by the Ministry of Defence when they objected to these proposals, due to the fact that the plan of a wet working and restoration in close proximity to RAF Marham, well within the statutory 13 kms limit, will increase the risk of "bird strikes" or worst-case scenario, end in an aircraft crash and potential loss of life. The economic cost of such a mishap would be greater than £1 00M just to replace an F35 Lightning II; add to that the costs for the emergency services and for the immediate and subsequent treatments through the NHS for the physical and mental injuries caused, and the financial costs become an unaffordable risk.
Permanent loss of agricultural land will impact rural Norfolk, its farming jobs, jobs of local employees i.e. British Sugar, including the increased need for home grown food, due to the impact of Brexit.
I object to the negative impact on villagers'/visitors' health. According to Public Health Profile 2018, our villages have higher levels of respiratory problems and reduced respiratory function (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma), silica particles will exacerbate these conditions. Loss of natural spaces has been proven to adversely affect health, mental and physical. This fenland and forest (Shouldham Warren) is our community's public open space, our gym and our sanctuary, hundreds of people use it daily for physical recreation and social wellbeing interactions.
I object to the fact that the plan would ruin the Landscape, Shouldham Warren, the Countryside, including habitats for birds, animals, and insects. The Warren is home to 64 species of conservation concern, including endangered bats, nightjars and woodlarks. We need nature and trees now more than ever to combat pollution and climate change.
I object to the unsustainable use of a finite mineral resource, when the county only recycles a fraction of the glass already in circulation. There are national government policies and guidance including DEFRA and the Dept for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy that are clearly being ignored in order to allow a privately-owned Belgian company to profit from the devastation of our community asset, landscape and environment.
I further object to the worrying possibility of damage to our Public Water. It is very concerning that if quarrying was allowed to take place, whether through wet or dry working, the water supply could be affected, as the whole area of AOS E has very productive to moderately productive aquifers.
A further objection relates to the lack of restoration plans. Any restoration would take in excess of 30 years, until then the community would suffer from a devastated industrial landscape, increased flow of heavy articulated lorries, preventing any appreciation of its landscape and countryside. Sibelco has a poor track record for restoration in the area, and have failed to ensure safety of sites after extraction - its Bawsey site was the cause of deaths by drowning. The company has not been a 'good neighbour' and has done nothing to engage with the community or alleviate residents' concerns.
Lastly, I object to the fact that there would be no benefit to the local community or economy if this proposal goes through. What is clear is that a number of local communities will bear the brunt of a hugely disruptive and harmful industrial process; that a very popular public amenity enjoyed by a much larger section of the population will be permanently lost; and the only beneficiaries of this development will be a few landowners, Norfolk County Council, but principally the private owners of the Belgian company Sibelco.
Given that County Councils are responsible for the provision of public services for taxpayers and community wellbeing, and not the promotion of harmful and irresponsible businesses that present no local benefit, but with multiple risks, dictates that Norfolk County Council should put public interest before private profit.

I object to the fact that the plan would ruin the Landscape, Shouldham Warren, the Countryside, including habitats for birds, animals, and insects. The Warren is home to 64 species of conservation concern, including endangered bats, nightjars and woodlarks. 100s of birds roost there. We need nature and trees now more than ever to combat pollution and climate change.
I object to the unsustainable use of a finite mineral resource, when the county only recycles a fraction of the glass already in circulation. There are national government policies and guidance including DEFRA and the Dept for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy that are clearly being ignored in order to allow a privately-owned Belgian company to profit from the devastation of our community asset, landscape and environment.
I further object to the worrying possibility of damage to our Public Water. It is very concerning that if quarrying was allowed to take place, whether through wet or dry working, the water supply could be affected, as the whole area of AOS E has very productive to moderately productive aquifers.
A further objection relates to the lack of restoration plans. Any restoration would take in excess of 30 years, until then the community would suffer from a devastated industrial landscape, increased flow of heavy articulated lorries, preventing any appreciation of its landscape and countryside. Sibelco has a poor track record for restoration in the area, and have failed to ensure safety of sites after extraction - its Bawsey site was the cause of deaths by drowning. The company has not been a 'good neighbour' and has done nothing to engage with the community or alleviate residents' concerns.
Lastly, I object to the fact that there would be no benefit to the local community or economy if this proposal goes through. What is clear is that a number of local communities will bear the brunt of a hugely disruptive and harmful industrial process; that a very popular public amenity enjoyed by a much larger section of the population will be permanently lost; and the only beneficiaries of this development will be a few landowners, Norfolk County Council, but principally the private owners of the Belgian company Sibelco.
Given that County Councils are responsible for the provision of public services for taxpayers and community wellbeing, and not the promotion of harmful and irresponsible businesses that present no local benefit, but with multiple risks, dictates that Norfolk County Council should put public interest before private profit.

Please record this as my objection,

* Tottenhill surrounded by Quarries
* No of HGV/Traffic congestion
* Pollution
* Too near Wormegay School
* No other wooded areas nearby
* No footpaths for walking
Accident black spot A134/A10 roundabout and Wormegay school.

Representation Summary:

MIN 74, MIN 77 and MIN 206
I write to register an objection to proposed mineral extraction at the above sites.
The proposed sites for mineral extraction of MIN 74, MIN 77 and MIN 206 are close to the Conservation Area of Tottenhill Row, which includes a number of residential properties, from which it is considered that it would be difficult to screen any working within MIN 74 and that any screening or bunding would be intrusive in its own right.
Tottenhill Row Common is also a County Wildlife Site containing different habitat types, the majority of the site is neutral semi-improved grassland, but contains two large ponds and to the southeast is extensive continuous bracken and grassland. The potential exists for impacts from mineral extraction at MIN 74, MIN 77 and possibly at MIN 206, if uncontrolled.

The potential impacts, including from dust deposition and hydrogeology, and increased HGV activity estimated at over 40 per day across both access roads leads me to recommend that the above sites are removed from the preferred options listings.

OBJECT
Reasons for objecting
M74.L
It states adverse dust impacts are uncommon beyond 250m the nearest property ls within 77m. The impact on the residents will be dust/noise/pollution from machinery. M74.16 States Sand and gravel will be transported by existing conveyor This means transporting materials to the conveyor along the back of all the Properties causing more disturbance pollution noise and dust. The foundations to these properties are minimal and close to the surface, vulnerable to subsidence, due to vibration and the water table dropping which is more noticeable in all of ' Tottenhill This last few years with all the quarrying going on in the area.
A quarry on this site would have an unacceptable impact to the area, the Tottenhill Row residents and residents along the A10 overlooking the site. Bunding would be intrusive to this conservation area.
Traffic going unto the roundabout A10 and A134 plus the private companies Collecting sand and gravel, 80 passes a day to and from safari park all coursing more congestion to these already over loaded roads impacting on the residents and all in the surrounding area who use these roads. Tottenhill Row is a conservation area an area of natural beauty this site would be intrusive. Quarrying in Tottenhill has been going on for a 100years or more the first planning application in the 1990s, 60 years disturbance and disruption in the area.
Taking Arable land out of the food chain which is needed more than ever.
Surly NCC you can see why Tottenhill and its residents have had enough and stop this being put Forward.

PROPOSED Site Min77

OBJECT
Reasons for objection
There are broad leave trees in this wood over 100+years old Cutting this wood down would devastate the area killing or moving all wildlife and habitat. Completely changing the landscape, Ecological impact would be great.
When Min76 came up for planning we asked if the conveyor belt could be moved To the north side of Watlington Road to be further away frbm the residents at Tottenhill Row the answer was no, one of the main reasons it would involve cutting down trees which were mainly saplings, now it is convenient to cut down a mature wood. ln this case the environment and conservation has conveniently been forgot.
We need to keep and maintain all the woodlands to help check pollution. Helping the small birds which are disappearing in the area, and the wildlife.
MIN77.16 It states sand and gravel will be transported to the existing processing plant by conveyor, the conveyor has been moved to Min76 the culvert under the road to the processing plant has been granted planning permission for-trafficking visitors to the Safari Park. Will this mean traffic to the Safari Park will go by road causing more congestion? 40 vehicles a day = 80 passes on the roads a day.
There is no mention how the site will be cleared and managed when cutting and clearing the trees, how hardwood and mature trees will be transported off site Which road and junction will be used. This means very large vehicles using the roads at the same time as vehicles from the plant site and safari park causing congestion on the roads.
M77.19 States the site is proposed to be restored to nature conservation comprising a mixture of ponds. wet woodland, and wet grass land etc., Combined with the vast area of open water we already have in Tottenhill we will lose even more water to open water evaporation, It is stressed we should save all the water we can, in the last few years with all the quarrying the whole area is drying out dropping the water table. The past planning applications for MIN 75 76 the PC has asked for an open water evaporation report. Not seen one to date. Tottenhill is being surrounded with quarries which are being left open and causing loss of water through evaporation and are intrusive to the landscape. lf this site is put forward Tottenhill has another Minimum of thirteen years of traffic/pollution/noiseland disruption on top of the 60 years we have already had, we have given our fair share of aggregates to Norfolk and surrounding counties. Tottenhíll and the residence say Enough ls Enough.

ASO J and A05L Land to the east of Tottenhill.

OBJECT
Reasons for objection.
AOSJ J.1 Tottenhill and Wormegay school is close to this site, the prevailing wind blows directly onto the school this could course the children to have breathing and lung problems in the future through dust and pollution blowing from the site onto the school. The noise from machinery coursing distraction in the classroom. This site would have a visual impact on the area from the site access along the A134 and from A134 to Tottenhill. There would be a visual impact along Deals Lane overlooking the site.
J.2 State access from the site could be via the southern track unto A134 subject to junction improvements, a dedicated access could be created to the A134 or the A10 with junction improvements. lf the junction unto the A134 is used it will course traffic to back up either side of the junction coursing further congestion and accidents, this road is used by heavy lorry's going to and from the Sugar Beet Factory. Going via the A134 it will be taking traffic by the school junction coursing more risk of accidents happening involving parents and children
Site traffic would go to the A134 and A10 roundabout, at the same time there would be site traffic from the quarry plant and safari park entering the Roundabout coursing more congestion and frustration to motorist.
AOSI Site traffic going via the junction onto the A10 at Thieves Bridge turning right and going through the accident black spot at the junction to Tottenhill and Watlington and onto the roundabout joining the A134 coursing the same situation as stated above.
A footpath going from Deals Lane and up to the A134 to Tottenhill church, this footpath is running through the south side of the proposed site and will be taken if put forward.
Cutting down a complete fir wood losing all the wild life and habitat, moving all the birdlife
Closer to Marham aerodrome This is a 100year old wood.
With these two sites small hamlet of Tottenhill will be surrounded with quarries.

Objection to AOS E - land between Marham and Shouldham and includes Shouldham Warren

I object to AOS Ë, including Shouldham Wanen and the overlap with formerly SIL 02, in the Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan, I strongly object to the fact that Norfolk County Council has deliberately misled residents by announcing the removal of SIL 02 when in reality a third of it is now/still included in AOS E.
As a member of the community, I echoed the concerns held by the Ministry of Defence when they objected to these proposals, due to the fact that the plan of a wet working and restoration in close proximity to RAF Marham, well within the statutory 13 kms limit, will increase the risk of 'bird strikes' or worst case scenario, end in an aircraft crash and potential loss of life. The economic cost of such a mishap would be greater than £100M just to replace an F35 Lightning ll; add to that the costs for the emergency services and for the immediate and subsequent treatments through the NHS fur the physical and mental injuries caused, and the financial costs become an unaffordable risk.
Permanent loss of agricultural land will impact rural Norfolk, its farming jobs, jobs of local employees i.e. British Sugar, including the increased need for home grown food, due to the impact of Brexit.
I object to the negative impact on villagers visitors' health. According to Public Health Profile 2018, our villages have higher levels of respiratory problems and reduced respiratory function (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma), silica particles will exacerbate these conditions. Loss of natural spaces has been proven to adversely affect health, mental and physical. This fenland and forest (Shouldham Warren) is our community's public open space, our gym and our sanctuary, hundreds of people use it daily for physical recreation and social wellbeing interactions.
I object to the fact that the plan would ruin the Landscape, Shouldham Warren, the Countryside, including habitats for birds, animals, and insects. The Warren is home to 64 species of conservation concern, including endangered bats, nightjars and woodlarks. We need nature and trees now more than ever to combat pollution and climate change.
I object to the unsustainable use of a finite mineral resource, when the county only recycles a fraction of the glass already in circulation, There are national governmental policies and guidance including DEFRA and the Dept for Business Energy & industrial Strategy that are clearly being ignored in order to allow a privately-owned Belgian company to profit from the devastation of our community asset, landscape and environment.
f further object to the worrying possibility of damage to our Public Water. It is very concerning that if quarrying was allowed to take place, whether through wet or dry working, the water supply could be affected, as the whole area of AOS E has very productive to moderately productive aquifers.

Sibelco has a poor track record for restoration in the area, and have failed to ensure safety of sites after extraction - Its Bawsey site was the cause of deaths by drowning.

I would like to comment and object to the proposed quarrying's of areas known as Min 74, Min 77 and Min 206.
I feel that digging sand and gravel in these areas to then make concrete to be poured over another part of the County is environmentally unsound.
These areas are currently arable land, during the quarrying local residents have to endure years of noise and disruption caused by heavy plant working from 7am to 5pm. Along with contractors, subcontractors and landowners breaking planning laws and causing permanent damage to the local environment i.e. a local ancient spring and two ponds in a SSSI conservation area.
Once the quarrying is over the land becomes vast areas filled with water fenced off and used for the purpose of shooting bewildered barn raised ducks.

Representation Summary:

I wish to register an objection to the proposed change to the County Plan regarding mineral extraction in the area around Tottenhill, Wormegay and Shouldham, especially MIN 206 and AOSs E, F, J and I. I live locally and these developments would affect me.

1) This area already has substantial extraction ongoing in the area between Tottenhill and Watlington which has caused loss of vegetation, farmland and tree cover. The new proposals, especially AOS E, involve destroying ancient woodlands and a much-used leisure area. The existing works have negatively affected the local (Tottenhill Row/Tottenhill) water table and the proposed increased works will almost certainly have an increased impact here and in their locality, eg Tottenhill, Shouldham, Wormegay. MIN76 has already recently been approved, for 285,000 tonnes of sand and gravel extraction, which will add to existing traffic etc pressures.

2) Restoration after the extraction has finished will obviously be some years ahead; it must be questionable whether the extraction company/ies can be relied on to do the restoration work ten or twenty years ahead, especially as the proposed areas are so extensive. Any restoration will obviously be new, and not replace ancient woodlands, archaeology etc.

3) Even if "wet" extraction methods are used, there will be large areas of un-vegetated land exposed after the top cover is removed; this will unavoidably dry out and be blown around causing dust problems over the local area. The 250m limit for dust impact is unrealistic given the relatively open aspect of the area. which will become more open as tree cover is destroyed.

4) The transport infrastructure in this part of Norfolk is not well developed; there is no railway link and no dual carriageway road access. All extracted sand, gravel etc will be removed by road, on single-carriageway roads, with several accident blackspots (A134/A10 roundabout, A10 Whin Common Road junction at Tottenhill, A134 Wormegay School, A10/Thieves Bridge Road junction which has had at least two crashes in recent weeks, A134 Stradsett Junction in the immediate area).
This is the only access for all sites involved except AOS E, but public road access is also given as a potential choice for AOS E.

5) There is no obvious benefit for the local community, for example for employment, as there are likely to few jobs created with modern mechanised extraction methods. Transporting the product is likely to be carried out by existing firms, many of which will be national; even if local it is unlikely that any new jobs would result.

Representation Summary:

The site would cause the following problems;
UNACEPTABLE LEVELS OF NOISE.
Residents of Tottenhill Row have already been forced to endure extreme levels of noise generated by heavy plant working from the West at MIN 75 and also MIN 76 located to the South West. (I was under the impression that work was not supposed to start on MIN 76 until MIN 75 was completed but we have had an unbearable amount of noise generated by large plant from the simultaneous working of both sites over the summer months which has been unsufferable whilst trying to spend time outside)
VISUAL
The site could not be adequately screened from the residents properties, the Conservation area and also the Public Highway.
DUST
As with the other sites, unacceptable levels of dust would be created which would impact residents
SUBSIDENCE TO PROPERTIES
Potential changes to the water table / settlement with extensive quarrying surrounding Tottenhill Row. Presumably De-watering would need to take place which could add to potential problems? (We understand that Damage to property is not a material planning consideration but Subsidence is)
IMPACT TO WILDLIFE
Barn Owls, Roe Deer and Muntjac are regularly seen from the road where the site would be located
ECOLOGY
There are currently 15 natural small ponds in the immediate location, Ecology surveys have shown some to have "Good" to "Excellent" chances to support Great Crested Newts and a possibility to support Otters. The Spring that feeds the pond known as "Spring pit" on Tottenhill Row stopped flowing this year for the first time in living memory (it seems quite coincidental after the deep excavations and creation of a huge de-watering pond a few metres away on MIN 76. The spring and pond were supposedly to be monitored when MIN 76 was approved as a planning condition but it would appear that it wasn't acted on)
HISTORICAL AND ARCHEOLOGICAL
The area is important on both counts. Sample survey trenches do not survey the whole site
THE CULMANATIVE EFFECT OF NUMEROUS EXCAVATED SITES
The character of the local landscape is being radically changed. The area does not need yet more "dead" siltwater pits that do not support or encourage biodiversity and there are already extensive areas of water for wildfowl.
HUMAN RIGHTS
Residents have a right to the enjoyment of Property. The unacceptable impact of Noise and dust impair the enjoyment of residents properties outside space.

MIN 206
I would also like to object to the inclusion of MIN 206 on the M&WLP for all the same reasons as listed above. Although the site is not as visible from Tottenhill Row it is visible from the A10 highway. The site has also been granted approval for a wildlife conservation park, surely it can't be both?

Finally with regard to Planning policy, I would like to add that the notification of residents within a 250 metre radius of proposed sites is not a large enough radius. Residents of Tottenhill Row have been badly affected by noise from MIN 76 as well as MIN 75. The noise created over the last summer from MIN 75 has been particularly bad, the eastern end of Tottenhill Row is well over 900 metres from MIN 75. People lead busy lives and it is not enough to rely on residents in areas potentially affected areas seeing a very small notice on a telegraph pole whilst driving (and not everyone has access to the internet and facebook to get notifications of planning matters making the process discriminatory as it stands.) There have also been numerous occasions when residents even within the 250 radius have not received notifications of planning applications.
Also, If the number of comments and opinions received in an area are taken into account in any descision making, in the interest of openess, it has to be noted that 5 of 17 properties in the immediate area potentially affected are (so we understand) occupied by tenants of the landowner. (with whom we hold no personal grievance and tenants are obviously free to form their own opinions but we do feel that it should be made apparent)
