Development description

A planning application area of c. 20.6 hectares consisting of a combined proposed extraction area (area 1, c. 10.3 hectares) and proposed early reinstatement area (area 2, c. 10.3 hectares). Area 1 will consist of an extension to the west of the existing sand and gravel pit with an extraction footprint of c. 8.7 hectares. The sand and gravel extraction (c. 2.4m tonnes) will be dry working above the water table. Stripping and storage of topsoil and overburden materials from the extension lands for reuse in the restoration works. Restoration of the extraction area will be to a beneficial agricultural after-use and form part of the restoration of the extraction area, as permitted under planning ref. 17/1224 (abp-302199-18). Area 2 will consist of an amendment to the permitted extraction area of planning ref. 17/1224 (abp-302199-18) by the omission of a c. 4.7 hectare area and the early reinstatement of a partially extracted c. 2.7 hectare area of the existing permitted c. 7.4 hectares extraction area. It is proposed that the duration of the proposed development would run concurrent with that of planning ref. 17/1224 (abp-302199-18), which is due to expire on 17/02/2039. An environmental impact assessment report (eiar) has been prepared in respect of this planning application
