Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmI am not conversant with planning application objections but I have the relevant url to look up the application which only went public on the 13th Jan and objections have to be put forward by the 3rd Feb.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmReg you really cannot expect an en mass vote to be raised as an objection on behalf of BAA members through any one person. Better object individually through the link.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmI have just been informed by one of the residents committee that all objections have to be done individually they say a petition only counts as one objection Just done mine took about 5 mins.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmCan't get that link to work, might be this device, will try another, but will register objection. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmThank you Bazpeck. Onelastcast it is not a link as such but the full web address including the H.T.T.Protocol so has to be put in the empty browser line in its entirety.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmThe proposed quarry is well away from the BAA fishing at Wasperton, being the other side of the A429. It is difficult to see legitimate grounds on which the BAA could object? Unless some one out there can enlighten me?

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmI have objected on the grounds of probable extreme traffic disruption to access Manor Farm and delays 6 days a week.Probable air pollution, probable more river pollution and further water abstraction effecting our recreational angling rights.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmI'm no expert on these things, but from what I know of other such processes, you will need to show that the problems caused will outweigh the gains. Bear in mind the council will see a lot of dollar signs, you'll need to find some pretty bad consequences. Are there any other proposals you can learn from, which have either been successfully or unsuccessfully challenged?

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmThanks for your input Fishychris. The local residents group have been in opposition to this proposal for several years on various grounds. The Planning Application went public last Friday which only leaves a couple of weeks for objections to be registered with Warwickshire Council.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmRe the site I think it's the server being overloaded. A refresh usually does the trick. Things like traffic being affected I doubt would be of interest to the council without showing what the cost of that would be financially, environmentally etc. This may already be the way it's being tackled, and again I'm no expert, but I think there will need to be a lot of evidence, stats etc to validate the arguments. In public licence appeals, which I have more background in, you can't just say 'we don't want a pub built because it will be full of pissed angry people' you have to demonstrate the likelihood of that causing social issues, safety issues and the cost of repairs etc required caused by damage directly linked to the building. Its difficult to get these things listened to. Half arsed 'I spent 5 minutes filling a form in' types of approaches won't make a difference. I'm not saying that is what anyone has done, but 500 of those isn't worth 1 good one.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmThanks Fishychris, The main opposition to this planning application is being done through the Barford Residents group who have a lot of information (www. barfordresidents.co.uk). eg: all this week from11:00am to 13:00 at the village community shop they are offering help to people who want to raise an objection. If this quarry does go ahead it will seriously affect traffic and travelling in the district for everybody including anglers. The implications to health of fine silica dust is not fully understood at this present time, all quarry workers have to wear the appropriate P.P.E. but not the general public/anglers around and downwind of the site. Gravel/sand pits use huge amounts of water which will be abstracted directly or indirectly from tha Avon. Used water will be returned but in what state?

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmSome of the land earmarked for gravel extraction belongs to St Johns College,Oxford. A chunk of it belongs to Warwick council,the very people that have the final say on whether it gets the green light.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmAccording to the residents group most of the land is owned by St Johns who stand to make a small amount of money compared to them being the richest Uni in England. If the quarry does go ahead then driving to Wasperton from all directions will be very stressfull and time consuming for anglers. Of course if night fishing was allowed at Manor farm then you could drive to and from site out of quarrying hours.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmI think the ‘it’s the other side of the road’ argument is quite ignorant and short sighted . As whatnow has stated there is a water course linked to ours and Leamingtons waters . I’m

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmThelsford brook does discharge into the Avon, however this is near to Charlcote Mill, which is well downstream of BAA fishing. I am sure that Charlcote will be making their own representations to the planning authority on this matter.

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmMy main purpose of this subject was to make fellow anglers and the BAA aware and that they did not have their heads in the sand (& gravel).

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor FarmThelsford Brook runs through the middle of the proposed gravel extraction site and contains,along with other species,a population of wild Brown Trout and also Bullhead(Millers Thumb). Both species are protected under various UK and EU wildlife acts. They survived when there was a gravel quarry either side of the brook between Wasperton and Charlecote(can't recall such a fuss being made about that going ahead),what effect quarrying around the upper reaches will have is unknown. Will their presence make a difference to planning consent being given? Doubtful,even SSSI's can be bulldozed aside for the sake of "progress". HS2 for example.
