Say "NO" to Middleton Lodge New Quarry


A resident's meeting to discuss the following took place on 19th JUNE 2009 IN BARTON VILLAGE HALL

The NYCC Planning Committee meets to consider the NEW BARTON QUARRY on 30th June 2009. You still have time to OBJECT - see further below.

The proposed QUARRY WILL NOT: create new jobs nor is it needed by NYCC. You still have time to OBJECT - see further below.

The proposed Quarry WILL: probably affect property values; increase dust levels (prevailing westerlies will direct the dust to Barton!!); could affect our health or that of our vulnerable children; result in increased traffic through our villages (Sherburn Stone may be able to instruct their own drivers but can only request others to use the motorway (other quarry traffic already uses our villages - what change?); result in lost wildlife habitat; mean the loss of irreplaceable mature trees; see long hours of operation - blasting, vibration and dust with work continuing through to 2042. You still have time to OBJECT - see further below.

HEALTH WARNING: A Called In (declined) decision will not necessarily mean the battle is over - the applicants will probably have a right of appeal - We must therefore vigorously fight these proposals.

This website is designed to provide you with known information about the Middleton Lodge New Quarry application and we encourage you to submit your objections to the Planning Committee as soon as possible before the 30th June, it is not too late to object. Contact details are on the attached information sheets containing supporting detail and information to assist you.
