Key facts
Proposed development
phased extension to the existing quarry, measuring c. 14.13 hectares, located to the south/south-east of the existing extraction area, to be excavated to final floor levels ranging from approximately 202.7 m OD at the north-western extent of the extension area to approximately 227.7 m OD at the south-eastern extent of the extension area (as shown on the application drawings) and the extraction of approximately 150,000 tonnes per annum (being the maximum total output from the quarry as a whole) of sand, gravel and stone using mechanical means only. The development will also consist of: the provision of an additional wash plant (to supplement the existing wash plant); drainage infrastructure; fencing; boundary treatments (including berms and tree planting and the importation of geochemically suitable inert soil material, where required, to support berm construction); internal roads and access/haul routes; and all associated site works. (The proposed extension will operate using the existing permitted access to the R756, together with the existing internal haul road and all previously permitted processing and ancillary facilities, including: sand storage and testing lab shed, wash plant, water recycling system, sludge storage bay, water storage tank, wheelwash, well, pumphouse, temporary portacabin office, canteen, portaloo, berms, and mobile screening plant). The proposed extension of the existing quarry will operate for a period of 10 years from commencement of extraction within the extension area, after which an approved restoration and remediation plan will be implemented. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) has been prepared in respect of the proposed development will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application
