PROPOSED LATERAL EXTENSION TO WORKING AREA AND CHANGES TO THE FORM OF TWO WASTE SLATE TIPS

7 December 2020

Breedon Southern Limited are undertaking a period of consultation prior to submitting two planning applications to Gwynedd Council at Penrhyn Quarry.  The first planning application seeks a small lateral extension to the working area of the quarry, effectively ‘squaring off’ the workings at its south-western corner. Land associated with the proposed extension lies wholly within the boundary of the current planning permission. The second planning application seeks to amend the provisions of the extant planning permission in so far as it relates to the restoration scheme for the quarry (by increasing the height of two of the quarry tips following a review of tipping requirements) and the duration of extraction operations.

Copies of the files that make up the planning application can be downloaded below along with a leaflet summarising the proposals.

Please direct any questions/observations by 22 January 2021 to:

Chris Lowden – clowden@slrconsulting.com or Jo Davies – jo.davies@breedongroup.com
