Site planning risk brief

(1) Quarry development and associated processing previously permitted under Pl. Reg. Ref. No. 99/2042 and ABP Ref. PL09.123207 to include drilling, blasting, crushing and screening of rock; and extension to same with deepening to 40m AOD, with an overall extraction area of c. 6.2 hectares with associated water settlement lagoon and hydrocarbon interceptor for discharge of clean water off-site. The appropriate period of planning register reference 99/2042 was extended by order dated 03/02/2017 by Pl. Reg. Ref. No. 16/1246: (2) Extension of c. 20.3 hectares to the current sand and gravel extraction area (Pl. Reg. Ref. No. 03/2754 / ABP Ref. PL09.209480 and Pl. Reg. Ref. No. 97/1731) with processing that includes crushing, washing and screening; and provision of perimeter screening berms. The sand and gravel extraction will be dry working above the water table; (3) Continued use of buildings and structures associated with the sand and gravel pit previously granted planning permission under Pl. Reg. Ref. No. 03/2754 comprising of the crushing, washing and screening plant with associated silt disposal lagoons: readymix concrete batching plant including powerhouse: prefabricated office; weighbridge; workshop building with concrete laboratory and bunded fuel tanks; aggregate storage bays; and one liquid effluent treatment system unit; (4) Closure of the existing site entrance with provision of a new site entrance located to the north of the existing entrance; realignment of the main internal site access road from the new site entrance to the central processing area; provision of a screening berm along western site boundary and relocation of the existing wheelwash; (5) Restoration of the site lands will be to a combination of beneficial agricultural and ecological after-uses; (6) All associated site works within an overall application area of c. 71.3 hectares. The proposed operational period is for 20 years plus 2 years to complete restoration (total duration sought 22 years). An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and Natura Impact Statement (NIS) have been prepared in respect of this planning application. Revised by Significant Further Information which consists of alterations/changes to the EIAR and the NIS and also includes a Hydrogeological Risk Assessment

1. Quarry development and associated processing previously permitted under P. Reg. Ref. No. 99/2042 and ABP Ref. PL09.123207) to include drilling, blasting, crushing and screening of rock; and lateral extension to same, with an overall extraction area of c. 6.2 hectares with no vertical deepening below the existing quarry floor. The appropriate period of planning register reference 99/2042 was extended by order dated 03/02/2017 by P. Reg. Ref. No. 16/1246; 2. Importation of up to 35,000 tonnes per annum of processed fine aggregate, principally sand for use in readymix concrete production on site; 3. Use of buildings and structures associated with the sand and gravel pit previously granted planning permission under P. Reg. Ref. No. 03/2754 comprising of the crushing, washing and screening plant with associated silt disposal lagoons; readymix concrete batching plant including powerhouse; prefabricated office; weighbridge; workshop building with concrete laboratory and bunded fuel tanks; aggregate storage bays; and one liquid effluent treatment system unit; 4. Closure of the existing site entrance with provision of a new site entrance located to the north of the existing entrance; realignment of the main internal site access road from the new site entrance to the central processing area with provision of a new wheelwash system; acoustic fence screening (c.2m in height x 170m in length); and a new screening berm along the western site boundary; 5. Restoration of the site lands will be to a combination of beneficial agricultural and ecological after-uses; 6. All associated site works within an overall application area of c. 51.7 hectares. The proposed operational period is for 10 years plus 2 years to complete restoration (total duration sought 12 years); and 7. Provision is also made for 3 no. sections of road improvements (widening) along the haul route between the site entrance and the R148 regional road. The proposals at the identified locations include for works in the public road and verge that aim to achieve a consistent carriageway width of 6.0m along with provision of verge widening on the inside of the three bends to improve forward visibility and intervisibility for all opposed traffic including traffic generated by the proposed development. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and Natura Impact Statement (NIS) have been prepared in respect of this planning application

For construction of a bungalow type dwelling, detached domestic garage, proprietary effluent treatment system, upgrading of an existing recessed entrance to form a dual recessed vehicular entrance, and all associated ancillary site-works

1. Proposed Construction of New Traditional Style Dormer Bungalow Dwelling, with Four Bedrooms, and Domestic Storage Garage with Solar panels. 2. Effluent treatment system and all associated ancillary site works for percolation area. 3. Cattle shed including slatted tank, along with concrete yards and all ancillary works. 4. Recess existing entrance, replace existing gate with traditional style new gates and all associated site works

Alterations carried out during the course of construction, including the revised position of the house and garage and percolation area/septic tank on site, an increased ridge height, an expansion of floor area, and amendments to the internal layout. All other details, such as entrance, sightlines, wastewater treatment system, driveway, domestic shed design and cattle sheds as per original application 22/0181

Development will consist of the demolition of the garage and elements to the rear of the existing dwelling and the construction of a new two-storey extension to the rear, internal and external works to the existing dwelling, the widening of the existing vehicular entrance to the site and the relocation of the existing wastewater treatment system and polishing filter together with all associated site development works
