the continuation of the use and further quarrying of limestone within the 57.5Ha site, granted by Substitute consent (PL17.su0088), comprising extraction from a 20.6Ha area which includes a lateral extension of 6.2Ha, using conventional drilling and blasting techniques and mineral reduction using mobile crushing and screening to a depth of 30mAOD. The development includes some 3.4Ha of advanced woodland planting, new administration office and workshop, a weighbridge with an associated dispatch office and ancillary structures to include a wheelwash and the potential in line relocation of 110kv transmission poles and the reuse of the northern void 3.24Ha at a reprofiled level of some 40mAOD using on site overburden to provide for a new low level location for a replacement concrete batching plant for the existing plant (01/4203) and a concrete block making yard with restoration of the lands to biodiverse habitats upon completion of extraction. The application is accompanied by an Environmental Impact Asssessment Report and a Natura Impact Statement
the extension of limestone extraction over an area of 10.3 hectares, associated development works on an overall site area of 41.9 hectares (additional information has been submitted which omits extraction from below the level of the water table)
