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
