What’s proposed

Permission for the backfilling of an exhausted quarry void (quarry registration ref: QR078) and acceptance, short-term storage and processing of construction and demolition (C&D) waste on-site, within an overall application area of circa (ca). 11.2 hectare (ha.). The development will consist of the backfilling of the quarry void (ca. 4.9ha) to a level of ca. 27 metres above Ordnance Datum (mAOD) with either: 1) Inert soil and stone waste (imported inert greenfield and non-greenfield soils and stones, and river dredge spoil which will result in the proposed development operating as a soil recovery facility that requires a waste management licence from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); or 2) Soil and stone by-product (i.e. essentially virgin soil or equivalent to virgin soil and stone) which will be notified to the EPA as an Article 27 by-product at its source of origin and transported as a by-product material to enable the site to be backfilled. The proposed C&D processing facility will cover an area of ca. 1.9ha and will operate under a waste management licence from the EPA. The development will also comprise of the construction of an inspection shed (ca.140m2) and ancillary improvements to drainage and landscaping. The development will utilise existing infrastructure on-site including weighbridge, wheelwash, garage, car parking and welfare facilities. The development will also include junction improvement works at the L7648 / N25 junction, located ca. 120m north of the quarry entrance. The application relates to development which involves an activity requiring a waste licence from the EPA. A planning permission of 20 years is being sought for the proposed development. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and a Natura Impact Statement (NIS) will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application
