Part 2 of Brian Quigley's presentation on the residents' perspective during the upper quarry infill at Middleton Quarry

1. Round the corner
and confronted
with this.

2. My first
knowledge that
the quarry was to
be infilled.

3. The Main Points from the meeting
1. The material was coming from the railway.
2. There would be 1,000,000 cube of material.
Basically enough to fill Quarry No2.
3. Maximum 70 lorries per day
4. Timescale would be 1/1.5 years.
5. Would be operating under the planning
conditions contained in the 1982 consent and
the amendments in 1990 and 1997 as
the Council had failed to carry a ROMPS review
in breach of their obligations.

4. The Main Planning Conditions.
§ Permission for extraction granted for 20 years.
Must cease by 31st December 2002.
§ No material to be imported onto site for
infilling purposes unless a formal Planning
Application has been submitted
§ The final restoration levels of the land shall
correspond to the the restoration levels indicated
on the approved cross-sections and shall merge
with the surrounding existing levels.

5. § Before any Limestone spoil is removed from
Quarry No2 provision of clear sightlines, traffic
signing and road strengthening shall be carried
out to the crossing point.
§ Stripping of Topsoil or Subsoil to be carried
in dry weather.
§ Land to be returned to Permanent Agricultural Use.
