Proposed development
The proposed development will consist of the lateral extension of the Classis South Quarry (planning references 03/4253, PL04.205925 and 14/4728) for the extraction of sand and gravel (aggregate) within a ca. 15.049 ha application area. The extraction area will extend to ca. 8 ha and to a maximum depth of 13 mOD (ca. 8.6 metres below the winter water table). The aggregate will be transported by a proposed on-site temporary conveyor to the existing, authorised fixed conveyor (permission 19/4530). An initial construction phase of up to 12 weeks will include the stripping of topsoil, installation of on-site temporary welfare facilities (port-a-loo ca. 6m2 by 2.3m), two concrete parking plinths (ca. 56m2 and 36m2), concrete refuelling plinth (ca.80m2) and associated interceptor and drainage, and installation of an access road to connect the existing Classis South Quarry to the proposed extension ca.101 m long by ca. 5 m wide incorporating a culvert (ca. 4 m in height), installation of screening embankments to a height of 3.1 m, installation of fencing and all associated site works. The operational phase of up to 7 years duration will include extraction and then transport of aggregate via conveyor. The proposed development will include a rehabilitation phase of up to 2 years duration to form a water body, united with the existing Classis South Quarry water body. An Environmental Impact Assessment report and Natura Impact Statement will be submitted with the planning application.
