Properly made submission (object) Brett Kennedy MCU13/0171

(don’t forget that buses for tourists are catered for on the plans) is of particular concern and
I would object to any provision for street parking for this reason.

         The Development Application prepared by Adams & Sparks states that "the fa ade of

the factory is designed with the appearance of colourful’bubble-like’ protrusions." This

hardly fits in with the "rural" setting of the area, nor does the building that will house the
factory. There is nothing "rural" about the existing building or what it is proposed to be
turned into. Given the visual pollution of such commercial buildings in the rural setting and

the chimneys, it is hoped that if the proposal is accepted that the previously mentioned

request for planting a tall screen of trees in the landscaping buffer.


         Again, I say, I occupy my whole property. I have already put years of effort into my
property. As a keen gardener who is approaching retiring years, I expect and look forward to
being able to spend enjoyable more time in my garden. Industrial noise, chatter from
tourists and workers and increased traffic noises are real threats to my enjoyment of my

property and way of life. All forms of noise pollution from the new factory have the
potential to adversely affect my enjoyment of my property and right to quiet in the process.
I actively avoid crowds and crowded places. My entire property is mine to use and this use

should not be infringed upon in any negative way by the proposed new factory. The

thought of having a commercial industry/tourist attraction across the road is abhorrent to
me.



         So far, noise made in the clearing up of the site has from my perspective been

unacceptable. Last weekend was particularly noisy with the bore crew drilling. In the end, I
left my property, on a Saturday, solely because I had to escape the noise. Negative impacts

have already started.


         The Noise Study recommendation that there be "no noise control measures for 24

hour operation" is simply unacceptable. Having lived across from the previous industry I

know how the sound travels so clearly from the site. All windows on the northern and

western sides of my house were permanently closed of a night in an attempt to limit the

noise so that I could get some sleep. Even so, the constant hum pervaded my house at all

hours and limited hours of decent sleep. Cross flow of air on summer nights was sorely

missed. When the past industry closed the silence was in fact deafening and so very much

enjoyed.

         The proposed Wimmers factory site is in the building that is closest to my house.

The proposed driveway that is to service the factory is the one that is closest to my house.

The building to house the factory is the one that is closest to my house. As a long term

resident I am more than entitled to ask for restrictions on hours of operation for this new

factory and any machinery. I was told by a representative of the Wimmers company that the
