Question 45: Proposed site MIN 116
Representation ID: 91692

Respondent: Gorhambury Estate Company Limited
Agent: Miss Anna Brookman
We agree with the initial conclusion that the site is unsuitable for allocation within the Minerals and Waste Local Plan.
The roads in this area are all incredibly narrow, with the C159 Woodrising Road east being the widest road in the area. Grove Farmhouse is accessed from Pye Lane, but the residents tend to use Woodrising Road to access the B1108 rather than the single vehicle width Pye Lane. An additional 18 HGV movements through this area would detrimental both to other road users, and the surface.
The information provided states that a right turn lane would be required at the junction of Woodrising Road with the B1108. Due to the bend in the B1108 as it approaches this junction from the west, joining it is already difficult as it is not possible to see vehicles coming from your right until quite late, promoting additional right hand turning vehicles, especially HGVs, at this point would cause a number of safety issues.
As owners of Grove Farmhouse, our client feels that the use of the site for minerals extraction would have a considerable negative impact on the quality of life for the tenants who reside in the property.
Extraction of minerals is noisy and dusty, and this property is situated within 250 meters of the extraction site and would experience the effects of this on a daily basis.
Summary:The proposed access route to the site is not suitable for increased amounts of HGVs.
The turning on the B1108, left or right, is difficult, with poor visibility to the right due to a bend in the road, increased, large vehicles here would cause additional problems.
Extraction would have a detrimental effect on neighbouring properties due to the extraction process and the additional large vehicles using the local roads.
