Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31296

Received: 28/09/2018

Respondent: Cecilia Toovey

Representation Summary:

I wish to object to site MP2s because:
Lark Hill retirement village lies in the line of prevailing wind and therefore will be heavily affected by dust and noise, a health hazard for residents who are predominantly over the age of 65.
Additionally I would stress the dust will impact on health of those who have had operations on their lungs and will also have a negative effect on the surrounding nature reserve and, consequently, on the abundant animal and bird life.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am writing to confirm I wish to OBJECT to the above site because I live at Lark Hill Retirement Village, which lies directly in line of the prevailing wind from the proposed site. All residents here are over 65 years, most over 75. The dust and noise would be a dangerous health hazard for all the residents. Please consider these facts. There are other sites that do not impinge so heavily on so many senior citizens, all in one relatively small location.
Additionally I would stress:
The dust hazard would seriously affect my husband, who has already had an operation on his lungs. I am also personally concerned about the potential negative effect this site would have on the surrounding nature reserve and, consequently, on the abundant animal and bird life.
