Dear Sir,

I am very angry at this late stage to be informed by a neighbour that the beautiful area around me is to be decimated. Why when it concerns us so directly have we had no consultation from yourselves or any Parish council. Thus we have not had time to consult on the matter and think this should be extended.

This quarry will run up to our boundary wall right up to the houses and will cause lots of dust and noise pollution making our gardens unusable. We picked this area and these houses for the reason they are in a beautiful area of the green belt which is a greatly used asset by walkers, riders families and has an abundance of wildlife which attracts many people to the area. We seem to have had a few encroachments on this green belt already and I believe this will we contravene both para 81 and para 90 of the NPPF.

I would totally disagree that any screening could mitigate the visual impact, being at the top overlooking the valley, and directly up to the road boundary next to our houses, it would cage us in! People often pull up at the corner to look over the stunning view of the valley, a busy spot for derivers to have their lunch. All that view gone on both sections of the road along Mapperley and Woodborough Lane

The road system is already struggling to cope due to new housing developments and the Crematorium. Its laughable that you seem to have no idea of the amount of traffic already using this road i suggest someone come and see what pressure you have already put on these roads

I expect to hear from you asap
