Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Wish to object to the site. It is nearby to Attenborough nature reserve which is rich in wildlife that also overflows to Barton in Fabis. We are encouraged to enjoy the countryside for well being and mental health and this would diminish it on a grand scale.

The site borders the river and will impact on the houses which line the river. Did not know the area existed for long time but now is a strong possibility of seeing it destroyed. Must seriously consider the implications before agreeing to this necessary project.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Ref. Sand & Gravel Provisions Site 'MP2s Mill Hill nr Barton in Fabis'

I am writing to confirm that I wish to OBJECT to the above site.

My daughter moved to this area 3 years ago for its peace and tranquility and now for the second time finds where she lives is in close proximity to the above proposed project.

Only 9 miles away is Attenborough Nature Reserve which covers 145 hectares. The wildlife that use this nature reserve depend on the surrounding areas so rich in life for their very existence. The overflow from this reserve can be seen in and around Barton in Fabis such as otters, Kingfishers, water voles, barn owls, kestrels and hobbys to name but a few, the list is endless.

We are encourage to make the most of our countryside and enjoy outdoor pursuits for our well being and mental health only to have them deminished on a grand scale.

Looking at the proposed map the boundary appears very close the rivers edge surely impacting on the houses which line the river. Is it their intention to access water from the river.

Now my daughter lives in this area I have grown to love it and for a long long time didn't even know it existed only for the strong possibility of seeing it destroyed.

I urge you to seriously consider the implications before agreeing to this unnecessary project.
