Planning application
Meriden Quarry Cornets End Lane Meriden Solihull CV7 7LG
Works: Extension Major scheme
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Extension of existing permitted timescale for cessation of mineral extraction, infill and restoration operations by 10 years (until 27/9/2037) to allow renewed extraction of sand and gravel deposits in this area (Area A, north) and removal of the remaining existing woodland on the application site, followed by infill and restoration phases (Note: This effectively includes the variation of condition no. 2 attached to planning permission 97/0535 (Now PL/1997/00168/RM) (As extended by the 2012 ROMP up to September 2027); however, it appears inadequate to cover the scale of new extraction now proposed purely on the basis of varying a condition on a permission that is now somewhat out of date in terms of its original approved drawings, documents, and the wording of many of its conditions: see paragraphs 1.1 to 1.7 of the Minerals Development Statement for further discussion of this issue).

The process from here
This application is with Solihull for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.
