I would have thought 2 or 3 skip lorries per day would be in and out in about 5 minutes each way.
The alternative is a constant stream of blokes with wheelbarrows which would go on all day and make the elapsed time longer.>
I dunno, that sounds preferable to me. Admittedly it'll probably cost more but thats not our problem.
A bloke pushing a wheelbarrow makes almost no noise and leaves almost no environmental damage. Its also a lot safer for all concerned. Multiply that by however many trips you need to make a lorry load and its still not as bad as driving a lorry up there.
The increased length of time is a shame but thats an acceptable inconvenience I think. Also its a building project, its bound to overrun anyway.

It sounds like you need to be careful what you are campaigning against. Planning permission has been granted so the development will happen. Surely it's better to support a plan which has less impact on the walk than protest for the sake of it?

It's a very short distance to the house and most people wouldn't notice as the lorries would have been and gone pretty quickly, so they would miss them.
There is also plenty of space for lorries and pedestrians/cyclists at that end of the path.
