Representation ID: 98060

Received: 21/10/2019

Respondent: M R Ellis (Timber) Ltd

Representation Summary:

Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Preferred Options - Mansom Plantation, Stratton
Strawless - MIN 213
As a Business owner and resident of Stratton Strawless I wish to OBJECT to the above proposed minerals and waste extraction site on the following grounds .
. The extraction site will be located within the centre of the parish and therefore impact on the Parish as a whole.
. Mansom Plantation is a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including great crested newts and a migratory route for deer. It is likely that these habitats will be destroyed. The countryside should be protected for future generations to enjoy.
. The excavation and processing plants will generate dust and high levels of noise pollution. This could be detrimental to resident's health.
.The character of the Parish would be affected for a long time to come .
. Ponds on the site should be protected, it is likely that the water table will be affected by the extraction.
. Planning permission has already been granted for a holiday lodge park on the site and a landscape plan to protect trees exists as part of this permission.
. The increased traffic flow onto the extremely busy A140 is a great worry, what with all the building work to the North of Hevingham, causing extra traffic during construction and potentially even more traffic flow when properties get occupied. The A140 is currently overloaded, with access to the A140 from Parish Road and Shorthorn Road being extremely difficult.
The estimated 76 vehicle movements a day will affect not only residents but existing Businesses, as Customers and Staff will find it even more difficult to gain access to the A140.
The above points highlight the concerns of Stratton Strawless residents, and should be taken into consideration when deciding on the location of a minerals and waste extraction site in Norfolk.
