Proposed sand and gravel quarry site MP2s
I writing to confirm that I wish to object to the above site.
The County Councils own 'Sustainability Assessment' shows that this site is the most damaging of all sites in the operational phase and the 3rd most damaging in the long term.
Alongside this my objection is based on the fact that I live in Barton in Fabis and strongly believe these plans will have an adverse impact on the village and surrounding countryside.
I am also a keen runner often using the woodland and countryside in and around Barton where this site is planned.
Should these plans be approved I would find it extremely difficult to continue to use these great facilities as my running route as I suffer from asthma and have been advised by my doctor and NHS advise that regular exercise is a good remedy for people with my symptoms.
I disagree with the County Council's suggestions that both Shelford and Coddington are too big for these types of plans and strongly advise the council to consider these as potential sites.
The council has failed to follow its policy aim to prioritise sites with potential for transport sand and gravel by river barge by not allocating any sites which use this mode of transport.
