  (A) The continuation of aggregate extraction and processing as permitted under Reg. Ref. 07/267 that arose following S.261 registration of the extraction operation under reference No. QR42. (B) The lateral extension of the permitted extraction activities in westerly and northerly directions. Over a combined area of approx. 13.8 ha to match existing extraction depth that is above watertable. The proposed western extension is for the extraction of sand and gravel, and rock over an area of approx. 10.7 ha. The proposed northern extension is primarily for the extraction of sand and gravel over an area of approx. 3.1 ha. The extension areas are proposed to be extracted on a phased basis that incorporate into the existing extraction and restoration plans. The proposed lateral extension areas of sand and gravel, and rock will be processed using existing site processing facilities and are intended to maintain the extraction and aggregate production capabilities of the existing construction aggregate production operation. The proposed extension areas will include ancillary development in the form of landscaped screening bunds. (C) The replacement of existing wastewater holding system for the existing canteen/office with proprietary wastewater treatment system. (D) Ancillary site works. The application site area under reg. Ref. 07/267 was 57.9 ha. The proposed lateral extraction extension areas will increase the overall extraction area to approx. 54.3 ha. The total application area is approx. 75.0 ha and includes the ancillary processing plant and welfare facilities. The application site excludes an area of 0.23 ha that is the subject of a current planning application for retention of a maintenance shed under Reg. Ref. 19/1230. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and Natura Impact Statement (NIS) have been prepared to accompany the planning application that include the existence of this maintenance shed in the assessment study areas. The planning application is accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and Natura Impact Statement (NIS), for development
