PLANNING REPRESENTATION SECTION 56 OBJECTION CLIENT: MESSRS HOLLAND 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 general disruption to the property as a result of the scheme - ‘2.2 Land Plans’ released show on page 12 show a permanent acquisition of rights over land on a farm access tracks to the new bridge at Heckley Fence. There is concern over this as it is used heavily as a farm and residential access track. Additional use will damage the track and lack of access during construction will cause practical issues in dealing with livestock. There is also concern over the future maintenance of the track post works. - There is concern over the amount of land take which will impact on the running and profitability of the farm business. - There is concern over the visual impact of the bridge from the residential property - There is concern over noise, dust and light pollution caused as a result of the works - There are concerns over the ingress of weeds from HE contractors and from the highway verge. Currently the verge is infested with Ragwort and is never dealt with by HE. - The diversion of public footpaths through the farm is a concern – there has been very little information from HE in this respect
