For the continuance of use of existing site infrastructure, including all processing equipment and the extension of the extraction area at Ballyburn Pit (currently permitted under planning reference 05/2091 and ABP PL09.220222) which is located within the Townlands of Ballyburn Upper, Gorteenvacan, Knockbane, Castledermot, Co. Kildare. The proposal includes for the extension of the extraction area into agricultural lands to the south with known quality reserves of sand and gravel. The extension will cover an area of 28.3 hectares (ha), with the overall application area covering 37.8 ha, the balance comprising continuance of use and restoration. The Proposed Development will seek to extract sand and gravel reserves (circa 3,000,000 tonnes over the lifetime) to a final pit floor of 71m OD, ensuring a finished pit floor above the winter water table. The Proposed Development seeks the continuance of use of existing established pit infrastructure (including processing plant, machinery, entrance, office/welfare facilities, carpark, wheel wash, weighbridge, haul routes and other ancillary infrastructure). The Proposed Development also includes provisions for the restoration of the Site, which will include the importation of circa 1,125,000 tonnes of clean uncontaminated soil and stone by-product materials to compliment overburden originating from within the Site. A planning permission of 15 years is being sought for the completion of the Proposed Development. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and a Natura Impact Statement (NIS) will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application. Revised by Significant further information which consists of of a reduction of estimated extraction tonnages of sand and gravel reserves to circa 2,664,392 tonnes and reduced importation for restoration to circa 975,259 tonnes of clean uncontaminated soil and stone by-product materials due to extraction area revisions, archaeological information resulting from geophysical surveys/archaeological testing and a revised restoration plan has been presented in the form of an updated NIS, addendums to the EIAR and Revised Plans
