It was noted that Members had visited the site
on the previous day.
The officer used a PowerPoint presentation to
show the location and extent of each of the three phases of the
proposed extension.
He reported that following the hay meadow
translocation appraisal, there had been agreement with the
applicant that the complete translocation of hay meadow identified
during Phase 1B would not take place. It was proposed to
translocate the hay meadow from the Phase 1 and Phase 2 areas, but
if this proved unsuccessful, the translocation of hay meadow and
mineral working from the remaining Phase 3 area would not take
place.
The following amendments to the report were
noted:
·
Page 4 condition 10 – after “revised information”
add “following agreement of the hay meadow translocation
methodology, no hay meadow translocation and no tipping of quarry
waste in Tip T2 shall take place if the translocation of the hay
meadow under Phase 1 and the Phase 2 working area has failed. If
successful, then hay meadow translocation and mineral working will
take place in the next Phase, but there shall be no storage of
waste in Tip T2.”
·
Page 4 condition 7 – after “no more than 750 tonnes per
annum” add “or 30%, whichever is the greater”
·
Page 5 condition 31 Site and Quarry access and transportation
– amend to state “no more than 5 lorry movements in and
5 out of the site per day.”
·
Page 17 paragraph 8 and page 27 paragraph 2 – delete
reference to “unilateral”
·
Page 25 paragraph 6 – add “area” between
“wider” and “which”
