Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31384

Received: 01/10/2018

Respondent: Robert Surgey

Representation Summary:

I formally object to MP2s. My objection is that If it goes ahead next year, the quarry will destroy 200 acres of wildlife habitat and feeding grounds for Attenborough Nature Reserve, ancient woodlands and spoil local natural landscape enjoyed by walkers, fishermen, cyclists and horseriders alike (i count myself as one of these). If that's not enough, it will create heavy noise and dust across Clifton, Barton in Fabis areas and has the potential for local flooding. It will most certainly spoil walks along Attenborough Nature Reserve, with planned work continuing for approx 15-25 years.

To whom it may concern,
My name is Robert Surgey and want to formally object to the sand and gravel provision MP2S Mill Hill Nr Barton in Fabis.
My objection is that If it goes ahead next year, the quarry will destroy 200 acres of wildlife habitat and feeding grounds for Attenborough Nature Reserve, ancient woodlands and spoil local natural landscape enjoyed by walkers, fishermen, cyclists and horseriders alike (i count myself as one of these). If that's not enough, it will create heavy noise and dust across Clifton, Barton in Fabis areas and has the potential for local flooding. It will most certainly spoil walks along Attenborough Nature Reserve, with planned work continuing for approx 15-25 years.

I hope this plan is cancelled.
