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.
The Draft Minerals Local Plan is 'unsound' in that the Council has sought to justify the inclusion of the site on the basis of 'maintaining a geographical spread' and therefore over riding the adverse impact of sustainability. However, the council has stated that 'there is no published data related to a geographical spread'.
There have been no projections for sand and gravel demand in the different submarket areas. The County Council's statement that the Shelford or Coddington sites are too big cannot be justified.
The Council has failed to follow its policy aim to 'Prioritise sites with potential for transporting sand and gravel by river barge' by not allocating any sites which use this mode of transport.
The site would impact on two SSSIs (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) - Attenborough Nature Reserve and Holme Pit - which are close to the site, and on five LWS's (Local Wildlife Sites) one of which will be destroyed altogether.
Public Health England, Natural England, RSPB, CPRE, Ramblers Association and Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust have already objected to a planning application for this site.
The site is in the Green Belt, and Brandshill and Clifton Woods, Adjacent to the site, have been designated as Ancient Woodland which have special protection under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The Council has failed to justify any 'wholly exceptional reasons' required by the NPPF.
There would be a major impact on the quality of life and visual amenity of local people, as well as the loss of peace and tranquillity in an area used extensively by a wider community for walking, fishing, horse riding, bird watching and other leisure pursuits, including an adverse impact on grazing land and especially to the respiratory health of horses. The loss of a significant area of countryside on the edge of a large city such as Nottingham damages the recreational opportunities that are increasingly important for the health and well-being of city dwellers.

Dear sir/ Madam,

I am 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 operation phase & the 3rd most damaging in the long term.

The draft minerals local plan is 'unsound' in that the Council has sought to justify the inclusion of this site on the basis of 'maintaining a geographical spread' and therefore over riding the adverse impact on sustainability. However, the Council has stated that 'there is no published data related to geographic spread'.

There have been no projections for sand & gravel demand in the different sub markets areas. The County council statement that Shelford or Coddington sites are too big cannot be justified.

The Council has failed to follow its policy aim to 'Prioritise sites with potential for transporting sand and gravel by river barge' by not allocating any sites which use this mode of transport.

The site would impact on two SSSIs- Attenborough Nature Reserve & Holme Pit- which are close to this site, & on five L.W.S s, one of which will be destroyed completely.

Natural England, RSPB, CPRE, Ramblers Association & Nottingham Wildlife Trust have already objected to a planning application for this site.

The site is in the green belt and Brandshill & Clifton Woods, adjacent to the site, have been designated as Ancient Woodland which have special protection under the National Planning Policy Framework. The council has failed to justify any "wholly exceptional reasons" required by the NPPF.

There would be a major impact on the quality of life & visual amenity of local people, as well as the loss of peace and tranquility in the area which is used by the wider community for walking, fishing, horse riding, bird watching & other leisure pursuits, including an adverse impact on grazing land. The loss of such a significant are of countryside on the edge of a large city such as Nottingham damages the recreational opportunities that are increasingly important for the health and well- being of city dwellers.

There would be a major impact on the quality of life and visual amenity of local people, as well as the loss of peace and tranquillity in an area used extensively by a wider community for walking, fishing, horse riding, bird watching and other leisure pursuits, including an adverse impact on grazing land and especially to the respiratory health of horses. The loss of a significant area of countryside on the edge of a large city such as Nottingham damages the recreational opportunities that are increasingly important for the health and well-being of city dwellers.

Reference: Sand and gravel provision site 'MP2s Mill Hill nr Barton in Fabis'

OBJECT

I am 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 long term.

The Draft Minerals Local Plan is 'unsound' in that the council has sought to justify the inclusion of the site on the basis of 'maintaining geographical spread' and therefore over riding the adverse impact on sustainability. However the Council has stated that 'there is no published data related to geographical spread'.

Little villages like mine are in decline because of large commercial companies purchasing and destroying the land surrounding them for sheer profit with no consideration to those people who live in these small rural tight knit communities.

The peace and tranquility that we currently have as a rural village will be non-existent if Barton is included in the Draft Minerals Plan. Not only will the village be exposed to continuous noise, but there is also the amount of dust that will make its way into the village due to the close proximity of the site. What about the damage impact to properties and vehicles that the dust will create, not to mention on people's health?

Development of the Barton in Fabis site will have a devastating effect on the local wildlife and environment that we have. The damage it will cause will not be localised to the Barton in Fabis site but will extend to Attenborough, the SSSI at Holme Pit and other sites of nature conservation in the local area. It has been recognised that the wildlife we have on our side of the river is different from that of Attenborough. Destroying this land and river banks will have an impact on the wildlife that will be destroyed will be lost forever and future restoration of this land can never put it back to its original state. The area of development is also rich in history and archaeology and again damage to this land will be beyond repair, a full impact assessment of this has not been undertaken.

The development will have a negative effect on house pricing and the ability to sell our properties will be reduced massively, as who wants to live next door to a sand and gravel pit? Just because it's an open GREEN space does not mean it should be taken away and destroyed.

The County Council has previously stated that the current 'landbank' for sand and gravel exceeds government targets. Building projects claimed to justify this application are either not due to start for several years or are better supplied by existing or potential quarries nearer to those sites.

The County Council's own assessment of the sustainability and environmental impacts of this site previously resulted in its rejection and exclusion from the previous draft Minerals Local Plan. I would therefore like to request that this site is also rejected upon the same grounds.

Dear Sir/Madam
I OBJECT to Policy MP2 Sand and Gravel Provision and inclusion of site 'MP2s Mill Hill nr Barton in Fabis'
My name is Mrs Annie McCourt and I wanted to write to you to express my concern and distress at the prospect of the quarry being giving the go ahead in my daughter and family's beautiful, peaceful village. They live on -------- ---- so they would be dramatically affected by the proposed quarry.
We visit our daughter regularly in our retirement. We help with the children often and walk around this quiet, picturesque village and neighbouring nature walks. We are horrified to think of the location being spoilt and dominated by the proposed quarry.
My daughter, son-in-law and children use the proposed site of the quarry, at least once a day, often two to three times. They love spotting different birds and seeing cows and horses. We have all seen many wild creatures e.g. owls, mice and an otter. The river bank in the proposed area at dusk is absolutely teaming with all sorts of water birds. The children have been noting what they see and when they get home, we google to identify and we're making a scrap book of all these animals and plants.
----, my daughter's husband, read archaeology at university and when we walk across the field, he explains to us about the ridges in the field and that they have been there from the middle ages and they are there from when richer land owners used to rent ridges out to poorer people so that they could produce food or grains to eat or to sell.
This area by the river (that has been proposed for the quarry) is a really special place and the thought of it being destroyed is alarming and nonsensical. We understand these days how important it is to preserve areas full of wildlife, the reason that the Attenborough nature reserve was created, and the quarry will destroy all the nature that's in the area of the proposed site. As a child I was there at the opening ceremony conducted by David Attenborough all those years ago, I am sure he would also be horrified to learn of the proposal. I wonder if he has been informed? It does not make sense to build a quarry next to a site that has been identified as a very important place for wildlife and successfully nurtured and protected all these years.
Not only will the wildlife and fauna be destroyed, but the area will become unsafe for children because of increased vehicles. Currently we can all walk on foot to the river. We won't be able to walk in that area at all if the quarry is granted. And in fact, we would have to either drive or have a long walk (which couldn't be done by foot because of the ages of these children) in the other direction, to get to an area where we can enjoy the outdoors.
It is also very concerning to know about the level of dust that will be in the environment they will live in and that even by avoiding the quarry area for our walks, the dust levels will still be higher in their home and garden. It is becoming increasingly understood just how damaging exposure to dust is for peoples' health, a factor which will surely be of great concern to any authorising body.

What is also a concern to all of us with connections to the locality is that the proposal includes allowing it to operate 11 hours per day, 6 days per week. The obvious consequence of that arrangement will be a dramatic change to the local environment, increasing noise levels to the unacceptable, and hugely increasing traffic pollution in the locality - this has very much been evidenced scientifically recently as regards to the negative impact this traffic pollution has on peoples' health and life expectancy.
I really appreciate your time in reading this letter, and I write out of sincere concern for all those in Barton-in-Fabis who have had yet another set of worries about a proposal which would damage significantly the local environment and their quality of life.
