a concrete batching plant, concrete block plant, block yard & associated development ref. 00/2156. Further information request necessitated substantial design alterations to the scheme, in particular the enclosure of the proposed block making facilities within a building & the omission of the proposed block yard. The proposed development now includes: a Concrete Batching Plant for export of approximately 25,000m per annum of concrete off site; a Concrete Block Plant, including a Concrete Batching Plant & Block Manufacturing Building, with a gross floor area of approximately 2,376 sq.m. for the manufacture & export off site of approximately 3 million blocks per annum & all associated infrastructure & structures including a materials feed hopper; 5 no. 50 tonnes capacity aggregate bins, two cement silos, conveyors, conveyor rails & belts, 2 number washout bays, a block storage area & all other associated development
the development will consist of a steel framed, metal clad building with mass concrete base walls (7.0m high with a gross floor area of 596 square metres) containing a workshop, storerooms and with an internal area to enclose the existing bunded fuel storage tanks; and a new forecourt hydrocarbon separator
the extension of an existing quarry over an area of 12.36 ha. Permission is also sought for the relocation of the car parking area, offices, canteen and staff facilities (92 sq. m approx.) permitted under reg. ref. 98/1981; the extension of the existing north-eastern quarry face from the extent permitted under reg. ref. 98/1981 (0.72 ha.); the reconfiguration of the banking and road layout permitted under reg. ref. TA/20222; the erection of 2 no. porta cabins for staff use (combined area 40 sq. m approx.); a storage shed (107 sq m approx.); ancillary toilet facilities; a septic tank and percolation area; and all site development and associated landscaping and restoration works. The development consists of the retention of the following: the extension of the north eastern quarry face from the extent permitted under reg. ref. 98/1981 (2.67 ha.); the processing area and associated processing equipment and storage areas to the northeast of the permitted location under reg. ref. 98/1981
