Planning application
59 Upper Hightown Road, Belfast, BT14 8RR
Works: Extension
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Proposed extension of existing hard rock quarry and inert landfill on previously worked lands approximately 200m south west of existing quarry/landfill (approved by U/2014/0096/F). Proposed site operations involve quarrying of bedrock (including blasting) to a maximum depth of 260mOD and concurrent landfilling of void space created by the quarrying with inert wastes, and associated activities, with land restoration to create a sympathetic final profile across the wider site including realignment of haul roads, new site office/welfare facilities, drainage control measures and environmental monitoring systems.
