Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 30998

Received: 19/09/2018

Respondent: Mrs P E Connor

Representation Summary:

I wish to object to the Mill Hill site. I suffer from several heart and respiratory health problems and the site will definitely impact my health. There are over 400 elderly people living in Lark Hill and this will affect any who suffer from breathing or respiratory problems as experienced during construction of the A453 and the tram Park and Ride. The proposed processing plant is only few hundred yards from Lark Hill.

The councils SA shows this is the most damaging site, it would change the landscape and bird life forever.

Reference Sand Gravel Provision Site MP2s Mill Hill

I am writing to confirm that I wish to OBJECT to the above site. I suffer from asthma, high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation and this will most definitely have an adverse affect on my health. I would point out there are over 400 elderly people living in Lark Hill and this will affect any who suffer from breathing or respiratory problems as was the case during construction of the A453 and the tram Park and Ride. The proposed processing plant at the top of Mill Hill is only few hundred yards from Lark Hill.

The County Council's own 'Sustainability Assessment' shows that this is the most damaging of all sites in the operational phase and the 3rd most damaging in the long term.

The environmental damage will change the landscape and the bird life forever. How can you carry out this proposal when the citizens of the UK are constantly being asked by the government to protect the environment?

I would welcome your comments.
