PLANNING REPRESENTATION SECTION 56 OBJECTION CLIENT: MESSRS DOUGLAS 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 and business as a result of the scheme - ‘2.2 Land Plans’ released show on page 15 show a temporary possession and use of land on the only road way leading to and from the farm. - The farm includes livestock, mechanical works and the direct sale of fruit vegetables and eggs from the roadside. To restrict the adjacent access will create significant business loss for the [] - 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. - There is concern over noise, dust and light pollution caused as a result of the works - There is concern over the visual impact of the over bridge from the residential property - The diversion of public footpaths through the farm is a concern – there has been very little information from HE in this respect - There is concern over the reduction in value of the residual property as a result of the loss of amenity value - There is concern over the speed of traffic moving in front of the property on the adjacent highway having just left the newly constructed off ramp
