I have real concerns about the Mill Hill proposal around Barton in Fabis. I ride my horse out regularly and walk my dog in this area as it is a designated bridle path area. The proposal would mean a great disruption to the land where over 50 horse orders and hundreds of dog walkers are regularly out and about. Even if the bridlepath was somehow kept open the noise fm the conveyor belts and traffic will prevent anyone with a horse being able to go anywhere near .

There are great stretches of natural habitat with a range of wild plants and creatures that can't be found in other areas. This would be destroyed but this gravel pit. If it was an area where no one JD the land I could understand but hundreds of people people use it to walk their dogs and ride their bikes and horses.

This cannot be allowed to go ahead
