proposed extension to existing sand and gravel pit (previously permitted under planning permission Ref: 08/1056 and registered under Ref: QY2) for the extraction of sand and gravel (at a maximum rate of 100,000 tonnes per annum) using hydraulic excavators within a total extraction area of 5.9 ha which includes circa 2 hectares of unworked area within the exiting pit and a proposed extension of circa 3.9 hectares to the north of the existing pit area. Processing will be carried out using the existing screening and washing plant together with all existing site infrastructure including site access, haul roads, settlement lagoons, office / canteen and truck wheel wash. A new wastewater treatment plant and soil polishing filter & toilets are proposed. The proposed development also includes landscaping, screening berms and on completion of extraction restoration of the site to a mixture of woodland and agricultural use. The planning application is accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR)

continuance of use of existing sand / gravel pit for the extraction of sand and gravel (at a maximum rate of 100,000 tonnes per annum) using hydraulic excavators within an extraction area of 3.3 hectares. Processing will continue to be carried out using the existing semi mobile crushing / screening / washing plant as detailed in the Quarry Registration (Reference QY2) under Section 261 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) and under planning permission reference 08/1056 granted for a ten year period. This development is consistent with the details approved under planning permission reference 08/1056. All of the existing site infrastructure including site access, haul roads, settlement lagoons, office / canteen, truck wheel wash, chemical toilet and ancillary works including landscaping and screening berms will remain in place. On completion of extraction, restoration of the site will be to agricultural use (grassland)
