Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 32095

Respondent: Rachel Ryan

Representation Summary:

I object to MP2S
The quarry would 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. It will also create noise and dust across the area and has the potential for local flooding. It will spoil walks along Attenborough Nature Reserve, with planned work continuing for approx 15-25 years. We regularly enjoy visiting the area to visit a local resident. We are concerned about the high levels of dust and noise and local residents health may be impacted by this.

Hi there,
I would like to object to MP2S Mill Hill Nr Barton in Fabis sand and gravel provision.
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. 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. We regularly enjoy visiting the area to visit a local resident. We are concerned about the high levels of dust and noise and local residents health may be impacted by this. Please consider my objection.
