The project disregards the importance of the agricultural land which is going to be put out of action for many years. Not only is it important for food production it is also habitat for wildlife. Personally, my life will be affected by the disruption of the noise, dust of moving vehicles close to our property. We have well water, and any movement (digging) in the proximity may (will) affect the water table and our well. We do not have mains water. We have solar panels on our roof. Again these will not be so effective when covered in dust. We keep bees in our garden. Bees do not like noise and they will not be able to find their usual pollen supplies. They may not survive ! Our local roads are narrow and not suitable for heavy traffic. Any work on or around our access roads will cause a delay in travel. Collecting grandchildren from school will become an issue. I use the local footpaths for running to keep fit and active. This will not be possible with haul roads going across them. Having lived, and restored our house for over 40years, it is a nightmare to think that our retirement in the peaceful countryside is going to be ruined. [Redacted]
