What’s proposed
a) The infilling and restoration of the existing quarry void over an area (c. 4.1 ha) of existing permitted quarry (05/7029 and ABP 13.QC.2098) using approximately 450,000m³ or 810,000 tonnes of inert soil and stone waste or soil and stone by-product. b) The development will consist of the restoration of the void with either: 1) Inert soil and stone waste (imported inert greenfield and non-greenfield soils and stone, 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 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 restored. The Site would then operate under conditions of planning. c) The proposed development will utilise the permitted quarry infrastructure including internal roads, site office, weighbridge, wheel wash, welfare facilities and other ancillaries to complete the works. d) Upgrades to the existing weighbridge and wheel wash facilities. e) Construction of a soil inspection shed (approximately 120m² in area, 4m height) and refuelling area (hardstanding) located to the west of the existing site office (approximately 16m² hardstanding area). f) Associated minor works to include site access road improvements, upgrade of drainage infrastructure including new fuel/oil interceptor and surface drains on hardstanding. g) All ancillary and associated works. The planning application boundary extends to 17.44 hectares. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and Natura Impact Statement (NIS) accompanies the planning application. The development comprises an activity that may require a Waste Licence
