Description: |
Variation of Condition 3 of
Planning Permission LW/799/CM(EIA) to extend the hours of working. |

Comments: |
I vehemently object to the
proposed extension of operating hours at the Brett concrete plant in
Newhaven. This is a decision based on finance and should be based on health
needs of my community. I am seriously concerned about noise pollution, dust
emissions, and general environmental and public nuisance. Extending
operational hours into early mornings and late evenings is unacceptable and
will disrupt the peace of residents and undermine quality of life in
Newhaven. The industrial noise is already intolerable. Here is why… Airborne
dust from cement and aggregate processing, as well as from increased HGV
movements, presents a clear risk to public health. Fine particulate matter
contributes to respiratory problems, particularly in children, the elderly,
and those with pre-existing conditions. These risks are well documented and
must be taken seriously, especially in an area already subject to industrial
pressures. Longer hours will also lead to an increase in heavy goods traffic,
which must be strictly controlled. All plant-related traffic should be
confined to McKinlay Way and explicitly barred from using any other local
routes, which are wholly unsuitable. Without enforceable traffic controls,
the impact of this proposal will be unmanageable and unacceptable. Newhaven
is working hard to revitalise its identity, encouraging investment in
housing, culture, and green industries. This proposal would move the town in
the opposite direction—further entrenching industrial nuisance at the expense
of public wellbeing and environmental quality. Planning decisions should
reflect a balanced and sustainable future for the area. This proposal offers
neither. It brings no meaningful community benefit, only greater disruption.
I beg East Sussex County Council to reject this application. Just for once
can you do the right thing. Please. |
