Representation Summary:

I do not believe it will benefit surrounding areas and will impact residents in a negative way due to reduced green space, increase in traffic as well as pollution.

In regards to the intended site near Barton in Fabis (Mp2s).
In my opinion although I can appreciate the need for minerals I do not believe that opening a new site here is an appropriate solution. The financial cost as well as the level of disruption to the surrounding residential areas by far out ways the need for minerals. With the widening of the A453 and other construction works has seen an increase in traffic through the Clifton area, which has also meant less Greenland and increased pollution. Opening this site in this location would have a negative impact on local residents.
