Permission for • Retention of previously excavated pit floors and faces within approximately 1.2 hectares of the existing sand-and-gravel pit, where average excavation depths exceeded the permitted levels by approximately 4-5 metres (within a maximum differential of c. 8 metres in localised areas) below the levels shown on the drawings approved under Plan File ref. No. 08/6662 & ABP Ref. PL 04.232102. These areas have since been infilled using on-site material to return them to the permitted levels and are now to be fully restored to agricultural use, with no further extraction proposed within them; • Retention and continue use of the existing historic site access; • Permission for: Recommencement of extraction within the remaining previously authorised sand and gravel resources over c. 2.4 ha (excluding the retained/restored areas), at a rate of approximately 50,000-60,000 tonnes per annum. Proposed pit floor levels will range between 100-105mOD. Extraction will be carried out on a dry-working basis only, with no requirement for dewatering; Recommencement and continued use of the existing aggregate processing plant and associated closed-circuit water settlement lagoons; Restoration of all worked areas to agricultural use through biodiversity-led measures. All for a period of 10years and within an application area of 6.2 hectres.

The development will consist of: • Continued extraction of remaining authorised sand and gravel resources (Plan File Ref. No. 08/6662 & ABP. PL 04.232102) over a total extraction area of c. 2.4 Ha.; • Continued use of the existing aggregate processing plant and associated water settlement lagoons; • Retention and continued use of the existing historic site access arrangements; • Restoration of all areas back to agricultural use. All for a period of 10 years and within an application area of 5.25 hectares.

A twenty-year permission for the importation and recycling of up to 80,000 tonnes of construction and demolition (C&D) material per annum, including the construction of a new shed to manage/recycle the C&D material; and permission for the importation of up to 200,000 tonnes per annum of imported inert material (consisting of mainly soil/subsoil and stone) and the restoration/infilling of an existing quarry to provide agricultural/biodiversity uses, and all associated ancillary development works including tree planting and the provision of 4 no. bird/wildlife observation hides. The proposed development will utilise the existing quarry infrastructure including internal roads, site office, machinery shed, weighbridge, staff canteen and welfare facilities. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) will be submitted to the planning authority with the application. The application relates to development which comprises an activity requiring a waste licence (which has been provided by the Environmental Protection Agency under Licence Register No. W0255-02).
