Search the Public Notice PortalAn MP has launched a survey to gather opinions from residents over proposals for the planned Westerfield quarry.
Central Suffolk and North Ipswich MP Patrick Spencer launched the survey as residents anxiously await official submission over the plans to quarry in the north of Ipswich.
Last September, a screening pre-application was submitted to Suffolk County Council with plans for a 1.7million tonne extraction project which would be replaced with soil and clay over a 16-year period.
The planned quarry lies between the villages of Westerfield, Tuddenham St Martin and Witnesham (Image: Google Maps) The plans saw more than 350 written objections from residents, who quickly formed an anti-quarry campaign group.
Stop the Quarry has been supported in their opposition to the quarry by Mr Spencer, who attended an exhibition held by the developers of the quarry, the TRU7 Group in February.
The new survey was launched by the MP with the survey asking residents to voice their concerns.
It is captioned: "I want to ensure that local voices are heard and that any development reflects the needs and concerns of our community".
An official planning application is yet to be submitted to Suffolk County Council, after being expected earlier in the year.
