CLIENT: MESSRS ROBSON LAND HOLDING: [] A1 IN NORTHUMBERLAND – ALNWICK TO ELLINGHAM The below provides a brief outline of the various concerns and objections relating to the above application for a Development Consent Order. - There is concern over the business disruption caused by the scheme. - ‘2.2 Land Plans’ released show on page 11 a temporary possession and use of land which is not deemed necessary for the scheme and will create additional damage to cropped land - The nature of the permanent acquisition of land particularly within 11/1i makes the arable cropping of land extremely difficult particularly within the northern part of the parcel - There is concern over the additional flood risk and subsequent damage to arable crops and livestock as a result of the large body of water stored on land - There is concern over the dirty nature of the water being stored on the farm in the retention pond and that dirty road water being released in to the waterway which is used as a water source for livestock - There is concern and confusion over the nature of the permanent acquisition of rights over land 11/4f and the adjacent temporary land take. There has been no discussion or explanation as to the purpose of this - There is concern and confusion over the nature of the temporary possession and use of land at 11/4d and 11/1b. There has been no discussion or explanation as to the purpose of this - There is concern over the nature of the new access way to the retention pond being used as a fly tipping or access point for poachers or other trespassers. Sufficient security measures are required and confirmation of this point has not been made clear. - There is concern over significant land damage being caused on the farm from work taking place in areas which are known to regularly flood - Drainage schemes have not been made available to demonstrate impacts and plans/procedures to make good the existing schemes post works. - Stock fencing and hedges adjacent to the existing A1 will be removed. The farm is currently heavily stocked. There are concerns over the quality of new fencing and the interim period during works where boundaries will be removed. - There is concern over likely damage to soil structure and land as a result of temporary land take for working areas such as 11/1k
