A tiny village is locked in a “David and Goliath” battle with a developer over a plans for a 52-acre quarry.
The gravel quarry – the size of 26 football pitches – would sit just 160ft from some houses in Haddiscoe, which has a population of 500 people, and 300ft from the Norfolk village’s Grade I listed church.
Historic England has also objected to Breedon Trading’s plans, saying the plan would ruin views from the church and describing it as a “jarring intrusion in its historic rural setting.
