The quarrying activity will be within a circle of trees and vegetation providing a natural screening. This is to be enhanced by tree planting and sensitive phased working and restoration.
FACT:
"Effective screening" will consist of whips, 1.8 metre feathered trees and some 4 metre standard trees Endcliffe is an exposed site, visible by anyone walking or driving along Lees Road, walking on the Public Footpaths and from across the valley. Realistically, how long will it take the above said planting to conceal the quarry workings? And, given the extent of quarrying to take place, the above percentages of losses are extremely conservative. |
Studies have shown that there is nothing of archaeological value within the quarry site and that there will be no physical effect on The Nine Ladies.
FACT:
|
Noise will be well within reasonable limits as set by Mineral Planning Guidance.
FACT: |
The type of quarrying proposed (block stone), natural screening ... mean dust levels will be minimal.
FACT: The potential for dust from these activities is very high. |
Expert study shows local water supply and water table will be unaffected.
FACT: |
Thorough study shows no roosting bats or resident badgers...
FACT: |
Quarry will operate under 'Phased working' ... means only small area worked on at any one time.
FACT: |
We work the stone using primarily hydraulic extraction...
FACT: |
Will continue operating road vehicles at same levels as Dale View... will maintain policy of employing 'one way system' to avoid congestion.
FACT: |

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THIS VERY IMPORTANT CASE
