... reports a local paper in Ceredigion, Wales:
In June 2016 the Cambrian News reported that concerned residents had launched a petition against quarry plans which they feared would lead to harmful emissions and an increase in heavy vehicles. Now there are fresh claims that the firm’s lorries are damaging the local environment. “It’s turned into the village from hell”
What's proposed for Straitgate?
The maximum number of vehicle movements generated as a result of this proposal is 86 loads per day, or 172 movements per day. The traffic impact assessment has been conducted using a figure of 200 movements per day... 8.7
Why 200? Because, as posted in 2015, planning applications are one thing and reality something else:
AI’s planning application for Venn Ottery in 2010 talked about an average of 138 HGV movements a day over a 4 day week, yet, on the one random day we checked, it was 194.
