ANGRY residents are up in arms over plans to extend a quarry near Romsey, believing it will totally devastate the countryside . The application, tabled by Raymond Brown Quarry Products Ltd, seeks to extend Roke Manor Quarry in Salisbury Road, Shootash. If given the green light, around 600,000 tonnes of sand and gravel will be extracted from the Stanbridge Ranvilles Extension, according to a document submitted to Hampshire County Council (HCC). Work on the site would start at 7am and finish at 6pm from Monday to Friday, while on Saturday it would begin at 8am and conclude at 12.30pm. One frustrated resident claimed three 200-year-old oak trees will be axed, while others fear they will be forced to endure hours of noisy machines at work.
