New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 17782

Received: 04/12/2018

Respondent: Mr Tony Roffe

Representation Summary:

The proposal to relocate Ben Burgess Ltd to Swainsthorpe is ridiculous. The site would be greater than the existing footprint of the village, and Swainsthorpe would be known for nothing else, other than Ben Burgess. This proposal would offer absolutely nothing to the residents and would be detrimental on so many levels: increased traffic on an already busy and dangerous road; hazardous access, especially for large agricultural machinery; noise, light and air pollution; huge disruption during the construction of the plant; loss of countryside. There must be more suitable sites in the locale?
