People living in a village battling a contentious fresh quarry plan have vowed to continue to fight.
Landhaul Developments Ltd submitted a new application to Norfolk County Council for a partial infill of a quarry in Wiggs Road, Haddiscoe.
It had withdrawn a previous application last year.
The applicant proposes to fill the quarry with 388,000 tonnes of "inert landfill" in the village between Beccles and Great Yarmouth.
It is already causing a stir as villagers have submitted their strong objections to the county council.
On Monday night, the contentious plans were discussed at an extraordinary meeting of Haddiscoe Parish Council.
During the meeting, both councillors and members of the public raised their concerns about the bid, including about what the "inert landfill" would include.

In the planning statement, it says the landfill will be "inert and non-hazardous waste soils from construction and demolition".
Sari Kelsey, a member of the council and Stopit2 campaign, raised concerns about the ecological impact the inert material would have on the site.
The proposed site east of Wiggs Road is a sand and gravel quarry that dates back to 1969.
Ms Kelsey fears not only for the impact on the site itself, but "the impact on the others all around it" too noting the field is used to sand and gravel.
Members of the public also raised concerns about flooding risks, dust and dirt, and the number of lorries on the "very tight road" with blind bends.

Safety concerns for pedestrians and dog walkers were raised as well as the lighting the site would use in the winter months.
The council unanimously voted to object to the application.
Chris Chidgey, chair of the council, said: “We will do everything in our power to object and fight alongside.
“Write to your MP, and let people know.
"The fight starts here."

The Stopit2 group was campaigning to prevent any further mineral extraction and landfill in the village.
Daryl Packer, Stopit2 member, said the plans will "destroy the one thing we do have which is peace and tranquillity".
