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. This is unsound and not positively prepared

M25.2 says 80 HGV movements per day back & forth to Norton this will lead to considerably more overall traffic on our small & very busy roads. Therefore, I believe this to be unsound & not positively prepared.
MS06 'to ensure the sustainable & expedient delivery of mineral extraction while protecting people from harm positively contributing to the natural built & historic environments & mitigating against unacceptable adverse cumulative impacts'. The Greater Norwich Development plan includes sites adjacent to A143 in the middle of Haddiscoe village if any or all of these sites are approved the resulting time frames would overlap giving the potential of multiply construction sites/developments in and around the village at the same time. this would lead to extreme disruption in what is already a very congested road system. I therefore believe this unsound unjustified & ineffective.
Soundness tests: Not justified, not effective, not positively prepared, not consistent with national policy.
The application should be rejected in full.

The proposed additional movement of traffic through the village of Haddiscoe is not fair on local residents. The Haddiscoe to Hales Rd, is already congested and as it is an undulating section of road additional lorries turning into and out of Crab Apple Lane will be extremely hazardous to other road users.

M25.2 80 HGV movements per day is significant for a rural location which does not usually experience a fraction of that. The surrounding infrastructure consists of narrow lanes unsuitable for such activity.
Soundness test: Not consistent with National Policy.
Based on the projections, Haddiscoe does not seem to be required. Together with the negative impacts on the area and local economy it should not be considered.

M25.2 The proposed 80 HGV movements per day does not take into consideration any HGV movements through Haddiscoe from Norton to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft adding huge strain on an already heavily used road through Haddiscoe Dam which sees tailbacks into the village even without this added HGV movement.

There is potentially development of housing through Greater Norwich Development Plan, on land adjacent to A 143 in the middle of the village. If time frames for development of some or all the 4 proposed sites overlap with MIN 25 construction, this would lead to even more disruption and traffic congestion right through the middle of our already congested main road through the village.

The policy in respect to paragraph M25.2 estimates 80 HGV movements per day. This will add considerable traffic count through the village if as well as this the processed gravel is also taken into account, the roads around the village would be adversely affected.

M25.2
HGV movements. Crab Apple Lane on which these movements will start is a well used single track road. No regard has been demonstrated for safe lay by and passing places for villagers and other users including walkers to be safe whilst on this road. The soft verges will not allow HGVS to pull over so we have the potential of cars backing out onto the main B1136 which would be extremely dangerous.
As well as this the amount of dust and gravel debris left by these movements would cause other hazards to vehicles and especially cyclists.
Can we guarantee that roads are swept every day?
I imagine not!
Soundness test: Not Justified and Not Positively prepared
M25.2. Lay bys and passing places to be correctly constructed on Crab Apple Lane to facilitate the safe passing of cars, walkers and cyclists from the hgv,s leaving the site and correct daily cleaning of all roads effected by hgvs leaving site debri in all weather conditions.
And I will end with the main fact that it is simply morally wrong to dig a gravel pit next door to a beautiful quiet village!!

80 Vehicle movements per day - if processed gravel is transported from the Norton site to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, then these additional 80 HGV movements witl add considerably to the overall traffic movements through the Village.
The roads through the village are single track and heavily used and therefore the approval of the Crab Apple Lane site will severely impact on the safety of Villagers.

MS06 - This states "To ensure the sustainability and expedient delivery of mineral extraction while protecting people from harm, positively contributing to the Natural, Built and Historic environments and mitigating against adverse cumulative impacts" One such cumulative impact is the call for sites for Housing Allocation in the Greater Norwich Development Plan which includes 4 sites adjacent to the A143 in the Centre of Haddiscoe. If any or all of these were to be adopted then the time frames will overlap and there is potential for 2 major construction sites ongoing at either end of the village at the same time which would be even more disruptive in what is already a congested road system. This is unsound and ineffective.

Allegedly lorries will be using the B1136, but increasing HGV traffic on a road where oncoming lorries often to have to slow to standstill to pass in opposite directions should not be encouraged. Also Crab Apple Lane floods near a patch of hard standing and has done so for many years with no action to remedy it.
much fewer journeys

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

M25.2 The site at Crab Apple lane (opposite my quiet and idyllic family home) describes 80+ HGV movements per day. I attended the Breedon presentation on the 16.06.22, it was explained these HGV trucks will transport the processed gravel to numerous sites over the county, massively increasing the overall traffic in the village. My families main concern is the danger associated on Crab Apple lane itself. I use Crab Apple lane several times (at least 4 times) every day (mainly by car and in the summer on foot) to take my children to the local school and nursery, this lane is only wide enough for 1 car and there are no layby's for passing. The busy road to Hales B1136 would definitely not be possible to reverse out onto. How exactly am I supposed to continue to use this road safely if the proposed plan was to go ahead!!? Also this week in the cold icy weather I have seen 2 trucks (one a milk lorry and one pig feed truck) slide down Crab Apple lane on the ice as this is quite a steep hill that is un gritted by the council. The biggest of these trucks actually smashed through my gate and hedgerow, I have 2 small children so I am very worried. This surely proves this small road is not suitable for large heavy trucks and me attempting to pass them daily would put my family at considerable risk. This Local plan proposed in the middle of a village is unsound and not positively prepared.
A traffic, highways and safety assessment needs to be completed, I'm sure this would prove that the site is completely unsafe to go ahead.
