The property is owned by the partnership J E G Grahamslaw & Sons, who are George Gary Grahamslaw, Nigel Thomas Grahamslaw and Terry Grahamslaw. This representation is made on behalf of all the partners. [] will be affected by the proposals. Current access is directly from the A1 to the farm which also holds an operating licence for HGV's from the farm. We are concerned that access to the farm will be constrained and restricted by the proposed developments. We require the new service road to be adopted by the local authority and to be maintainable at the public expense. we will object if the proposals are that we are to maintain the road. The road needs to be suitable for traffic to pass including passing for HGV's. We are concerned about the signage to the property and ensuring that services continue as normal. We have concerns about the land take and the impact on the farming business. We are concerned about field drainage and the reinstatement of the field boundaries. these need to take into account modern farming methods and machinery. We are concerned as well about the fences and hedgerow replacement and who will be responsible for ongoing maintenance. We are also concerned about the impact on the residential properties with increase noise, dust and vibration. Lastly, we understand that additional land is proposed to be acquired to accommodate the wind farm electric cable which is currently in the highway verge. we do not consider this to be necessary as it can be relocated in the highway verge. We wish to object on the basis of additional land take which is not necessary.
