Spooner Row Message Board

This proposal is a part retrospective and a part prospective planning application. It is to expand the aggregates business to include a land change use from agricultural to open air storage. An impact assessment for vehicle movements to and from the access road and surrounding roads such as travelling through Spooner Row is apparently not needed. It says this business expansion will be covered by an existing extant permission and it will not generate extra vehicle traffic. Is this extant permission applicable to this application?

This seems to be a rehash of the previously refused planning application.

I do love reading these planning applications, there should be a council bull***t filter. Newalls is a   (....edited....)

Spooner Row council don't seem to care about traffic through the village, move to old buck, carleton rode, bunwell and your get a council who does everything it can to maintain a village life. Sure if doesn't always work, but at least they try, this council should be objecting on any application that increases HGV traffic and speaking to highways on a regular basis. It doesn't matter if it's a different local council or not, they have a voice, use it.

Have you objected ? spoke to the council etc and anyone else about objecting, it’s all well and good saying on here what everyone is thinking but people in spooner row need to speak up. Newalls lorries are going through Bunwell too on a regular basis, people here are fed up with it too.

The latest on Breckland council planning website http://planning.breckland.gov.uk/OcellaWeb/showDocuments?reference=3PL/2022/0190/F&module=pl

Highways Comment says,   "On the basis of the information provided, and if you are minded to grant approval, I would recommend that an HGV routing condition be imposed to ensure that all vehicles enter and leave the site to/from the east".  

To/from the east means that lorries are recommended to use the Spooner Row route. Has our council been informed? I would like to see these HGV's reduced on our village roads, not encouraged.

The Environmental Health Officers, "recommend approval".

What about noise pollution? 

It's awful trying to have doors or windows open, or sit outside, not just the noise but pollution too, especially when they wait for the barriers! 

Besthorpe Parish Council is concerned about the heavy lorry traffic on surrounding roads.  This is Besthorpe's Consultation reply:

Comment. This application would cause extra noise, dust and increases in Heavy lorry traffic which the roads surrounding are not suitable.

Date Entered. 24-03-2022

Why has no one from our council objected on our behalf?

why don't you object as an affected individual ?

I watched that meeting on youtube, planning just needs to change, who are those people making the decisions that change peoples lives ? are they elected ? it's ridiculous, a bunch of geriatric pensioners with no touch of what the people want absolute madness.

A planning officer that spouted complete lies, where is the due diligence.

A completely broken system.

The lorries visit the big new housing development in Suton, Wymondham just off the London Road. Their noise on Station Road is getting worse.

Actually, I've seen on several occasions how just one car legally parked on the road near the school pavement caused havoc for lorries. Everything was backed right up Station Road. This shows just how utterly unsuitable the main rural road through Spooner Row is for large trucks. Routes serving Newalls should have been taken into consideration with this planning.

Yeah this sounds very clever! you might slow/ stop the lorries but you are also stopping the emergency services, if a lorry can’t get through neither can a fire engine! honestly some lack common sense here 

Really…, clearly no one has anything better to do with there time 

this is the decision notice with approval for full planning permission   http://planning.breckland.gov.uk/OcellaWeb/showDocuments?reference=3PL/2022/0190/F&module=pl

and   http://planning.breckland.gov.uk/OcellaWeb/showDocuments?reference=3PL/2022/0333/F&module=pl

This is not what this village needs! Breckland council won't be worried, it doesn't impact on any of their villages! Did our community council object? Couldn't find any decision to on any minutes, just consideration look at it. I had nobody look at my post on the 'grapevine' either. Don't know how many villagers objected but it didn't make any difference! Feeling let down!!
