Continued use of existing permitted structures and facilities, including: weighbridge and wheelwash with side and overhead spray bar, office and staff facilities building and carpark provision (Ref. 17512). Asphalt plant (Ref. 15104), concrete batching plant (Ref. 20419), maintenance shed (Ref. 141295), aggregate shed, ESB substation (Ref. 191964), crushing and screening plant, and stock bays (Ref. 062275 & 21442). Associated site infrastructure. Construction of a new quarry storage yard (c. 1.09 Ha.) to the east of the existing quarry. Relocation of the existing permitted sheds (Plan Ref File No. 21442) to an area beside the proposed storage yard area. Importation of soil and stone (both waste and non-waste) for site restoration purposes and selected construction and demolition waste for recycling to preserve natural aggregate re-sources, subject to the necessary authorisations. The proposed development will facilitate the continued operation and restoration of the site, with the operational life of the quarry ceasing upon resource exhaustion, followed by resto-ration to agricultural and natural uses using imported material. The proposed development is within an overall application area of c. 16.3 hectares and is for a total period of 35 years (comprising an operational period of 33 years followed by 2 years for restoration).
