Consultee Response St Harmon Community Council 1st Response The Community Council does not support this application and has expressed various concerns that need urgent clarification. These include:- Noise emission Positioning of power point and supplt back up Dispertion of odours Detrimental environmental impact The overall scale of the project/industrialisation of the area Other important issues are: Unsuitability of the access point to the public highway Unsuitability of highway access route to the main road network Inadequcy of passing places (only 3) Surface water run off/potential for flooding Bank erosion of the nearby stream Soakaways/contamination of water/risk of disease As this is a major construction project the concern have been raised regarding; Damage to the road caused by heavy vehicle movements Potential structural damage to the old properties (adjacent to the road) due to vibration Lack of provision for the costs of repairs to the road and roadside properties Loss of safety for other road users, walkers, horse-riders On behalf of the Community Council I would request please that the above concern are addressed before this application proceeds to determination. I would appreciate your response as soon as possible. 2nd Response Please be advised that St Harmon Community Council strongly object to the proposed development and would request that the planning permission is refused. 3rd Response The Communitu Coucil expressed deep concerns about the inadequate level of information available and its incorrectness (including drawings). This makes it impossible to make an informed judgement and a correct decision. The main concerns include; Number of proposed passing places – totally inadequate The length of the passing places – not long enough (especially when two lorries have to pass) This is a single track road and the inadequate number of passing places will result in vehivles having to reverse quite a long way, sometimes in the dark or vehicles being trapped.
