Dear Resident,

 

Round O Quarry Planning Application.

 

One of our roles is to inform residents if there is an issue that is important to us all.

 

Round O Quarry has lodged an application for an extension in time of their Aggregate Recycling Facility for another ten years. (This is separate from the quarrying and restoration permission, for which an extension will also be sought).

 

At the next Parish Council Meeting on Wednesday, 28th October we will consider our response. Our approach concentrates on the aspect of the quarry that most concerns residents, namely that of traffic. We expect to object to the application as it stands, because there are no satisfactory assurances about traffic routing.

 

Please take the opportunity to make a response as a local resident, if you think it appropriate. You can view the relevant information at: -

 

Application Number 08/09/1141, County Hall, Preston or

 

Application Number 2009/1141/CMA, Borough Council Offices, Ormskirk or on their website www.westlancs.gov.uk/planning

 

The closing date for responses to be received is 3rd November 2009 and these can be made as follows: -

 

Lancashire County Council, Environmental Directorate, Development Management Group, PO Box 100, County Hall, Preston. PR1 0LD or

by e-mail  DevCon@lancashire.gov.uk  remember to provide your name and address

 

Send a copy of your response to West Lancashire Borough Council, Planning, Regeneration and Estates Department, 52, Derby Street, Ormskirk. L39 2DF or via their website,

 

You are also welcome to attend the Parish Council Meeting on 28th October 2009 at 7.30pm in the School if you wish to express a view.

 

Regards,

Jacky Citarella,

Chair, Newburgh Parish Council.
