I have two matters to raise as follows. The plan received from you via post, shows three boxes. In the box 01 the red line surrounds a field running south and reaching down to the River Greta. May I draw your attention to several limestone blocks, set in to the ground to the southern end of the field and also and running along the path reaching down to the river. They are the only remains in the area of an Iron Age field system being proof of the first permanent human settlement close to Bowes should remain as such. Also, at the top of the hill on the eastern side of the field is a row of similar stones marking an Iron Age agricultural terrace system. Although the high position of these stones may mean that your proposed works would not have to disturb them, it would be appreciated if their prescence could be kept in mind. MY second point refers to road surfacing. Present road surface noise can be very intrusive within the village and extra traffic will no doubt increase this. May I add a further plea for the final road surfacing to be that which creates the least noise possibility.
