Representation Summary:

As Norfolk County Councillor representing Stratton Strawless I strongly object to allocation of Mansom Plantation for mineral extraction.

Stratton Strawless is a small rural parish that already suffers considerable issues with traffic. There is already a tension with increasing commercial use of Shortthorn Road which is a residential street. The use of Mansom Plantation for mineral extraction will further shift this part of the parish to commercial use. This will further change the character of an area that was once a small parish set in the countryside. Stratton Strawless is a small rural village - unsuitable for a proposal of this scale.
There will be constant noise and nuisance from the site for residents and an extra 76 heavy vehicle movements a day.

The proposal will have obvious detriment to wildlife and natural habitats.
