Take a look at the questions asked by Sue Taylor, Parish Councilor.
Now have a look at the 10.52am Speaker (against the application – Sue Taylor, Balcombe Parish Council) in the link below:

Ms Taylor says:
This site is close to our village. The nearest house, Kemps Farm, is only 350 metres away, and the rest of the village a mere 800 metres. The south-westerly prevailing winds bring any noise and pollution directly onto our village.
We oppose this development.
We have many concerns, including water safety, air pollution, damage to the environment and the health of our residents… but in the time allowed I would like to focus on just five areas:
Residents’ opposition to exploration of this type.
The impact of the flare, especially when local topography and wind are considered.
HGV traffic routed through the village and past our school.
And, if this application is accepted, contrary to local people’s wishes, we need:
a robust Noise Management Plan, particularly as in 2013 noise regularly exceeded permitted limits.
insurance or a bond to mitigate any liabilities.
Well briefed and no love lost there I'm afraid.
