DC and R Report DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATION COMMITTEE 26 August 2015 A report by the Assistant Director of Environment & Regulatory Services _____________________________________________________________________ Application No: 5/15/9005 District: South Lakeland Applicant: Lafarge Tarmac Ltd Parish: Urswick Fell Bank, Birtley, Chester Le Street Received: 31 MarchChester-le-Street 2015 PROPOSAL: Section 73 application to amend Condition 1 of planning permission 5/05/9013 to allow additional time to complete mineral extraction in the deep extension part of the quarry. LOCATION: Stainton Quarry, Long Lane, Stainton with Adgarley, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, LA13 0NN _____________________________________________________________________ 1.0 RECOMMENDATION 1.1 That planning permission is Granted for the reasons stated in Appendix 1 and subject to the conditions in Appendix 2. 2.0 THE PROPOSAL 2.1 This application seeks planning permission to extend the time limit for the extraction of high purity limestone from the deep extension area of Stainton Quarry for a further ten years until 31 March 2025, and thereby delay restoration of this area until 31 March 2026. 3.0 CONSULTATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS 3.1 South Lakeland District Council’s Planning Department reports that it has no comments to make as regards the application. 3.2 Urswick Parish Council has no objections or comments. Dalton with Newtown Parish Council were also consulted however no reply had been received when this report was prepared. In the event a reply is received in advance of Committee this will be reported to Members on the update sheet. N.B. Dalton with Newton’s Parish boundary is in close proximity to the western boundary of the quarry and the deepening is located within the western side of the quarry. The main unclassified element of the haul route (Long Lane) also runs through their parish. 3.3 The Highway Authority has no objections on the proviso that there is no change in the day-to-day behaviours of traffic movements to and from the site (i.e. number of movements, movement routes, or access and egress points). 3.4 South Lakeland District Council’s Environmental Health Department has no objection. 3.5 The Environment Agency has no objection. 3.6 The Health & Safety Executive and Natural England were also consulted however no reply had been received from these organisations when this report was prepared. In the event replies are received in advance of Committee these will be reported to Members on the update sheet. 3.7 The application site falls within the County Council electoral division of Low Furness. The local member representing that division, Ms J Willis, has been notified. 3.8 The local County Council member for the neighbouring electoral division of Dalton South, Mr Ernie Wilson, has also been notified as the site is near to the boundary of his electoral division 3.9 The planning application has been advertised on site and in the local press and neighbouring properties notified. The formal publicity period for the application closed on 30 April 2015. 3.10 Two written representations have been received from local residents. Both representations object to the application and claim that extraction operations at Stainton Quarry have caused vibrations/ground movement that has caused damage to their properties. 3.11 The first letter objects to any extension of blasting at the site. They state that since purchasing Skells Lodge, Dalton-in-Furness they have been “quite shocked at the extent of vibration felt within the house from the regular blasting at the quarry mostly on a Friday morning”. They continue that: “…initially the blasting was quite small and we only felt the whole house shudder. BUT on occasions it felt like the house was going to come down around our ears. The force of the blasts on occasions were so severe that a couple of cracks actually appeared in the newly refurbished plasterwork inside the house. The blasts were so strong that pots and pans rattled and objects fell over. The house which was built over a hundred years ago when we bought it had started to collapse. The front of the property had moved some 6-10 inches in places away from the internal walls of the house and we have spent an absolute fortune tying it back into the property to make it structurally sound again. I genuinely believe that this has been caused by years and years of the quarry blasting. I would definitely not be happy if more extensive blasting were to occur as I believe that this could potentially damage my property further. You are welcome as a committee to come and stand in the house when the quarry blasts!” 3.12 The second letter objects to extraction operations coming any closer to their property (North View, 2 Longlands Cottage, Dalton-in-Furness), reporting that they have “in the past suffered an element of impact to our property and barn and believe the quarry blasting to be the cause and feel that should excavation be brought closer to us, then we will no doubt have more movement”. They also report that they have the added concern of their horses “which are kept very close to the working of the quarry”. 4.0 PLANNING ASSESSMENT Site Location 4.1 Stainton Quarry is a large carboniferous limestone quarry which is located approximately 4km north-east of Barrow-in-Furness and 2km south-east of the market town of Dalton-in-Furness. It is situated immediately to the north of the village of Stainton-with-Adgarley. With the exception of the village, the site is predominantly surrounded by agricultural land. The quarry sits within a distinctive landscape setting characterised by field tracts of high drumlins with broad rounded tops and steep sides. Site Access 4.2 The site has a dedicated access road which connects on to Long Lane outside the western outskirts of the village. All HGV traffic utilises this access. Following the construction of this site access in 1999, the applicant introduced a voluntary routing agreement which instructs all HGV traffic to bypass the village of Stainton-with-Adgarley by utilising Long Lane. Nature of the Quarry and Existing Operations 4.3 The current operational footprint of the quarry covers an area of approximately 40-50ha. Material at the site is extracted by drilling blast shot holes into the rock into which explosives are placed before being detonated in a controlled manner, with the blasted rock then being removed by heavy machinery for processing. Working takes place in a series of 15m benches. Current levels of extraction are running at approximately 180,000 tonnes per year. At the site as a whole, there remains approximately 24 million tonnes of mineral reserve yet to be worked. 4.4 Two different formations of limestone – Park Limestone and Urswick Limestone, are worked at this hardrock quarry site. Consequently the site produces stone for a range of aggregate and industrial uses. The Urswick Limestone is of a lesser and more variable quality than the Park formation so is quarried principally for aggregate. The Park Limestone has a high chemical purity and is consequently marketed for industrial applications. 4.5 The quarry principally produces aggregate, coated road-stone and armour stone from the Urswick Limestone. This latter armour stone product is primarily employed for the construction of the bases of off-shore wind turbines and coastal flood defence works. Contracts to supply offshore projects result in significant peaks in production at the site and related traffic movements. These materials are worked from the main quarry void which is located centrally within the site and is currently being worked in both easterly and westerly directions. 4.6 The Park Limestone formation is worked from an area referred to as “the sinking”, which is located in the south-westerly corner of the site, in order to produce a high-purity limestone powder. The extraction of this high purity material from this area is covered by a separate planning permission to that covering aggregate and stone extraction. It is this area within the larger quarry site that is the subject of this planning application. The high purity limestone powder produced/extracted from this area is sold for industrial and chemical uses and is exported from Barrow docks to markets in northern Europe for paper and pharmaceutical applications and use in the manufacture of iron and steel. Due to its special qualities, and in order to safeguard the resource for appropriate use, the high purity limestone in the sinking is only extracted and sold as chemical grade limestone when orders are received. No extraction has taken place from the sinking within the last three years due to a combination of operational constraints and the impact of the global recession upon demand. Relevant Planning History of the Site 4.7 Stainton Quarry, as a whole, has planning permission (Ref. 5/93/9013) for mineral extraction until 21st February 2042. This permission covers a total area of 78ha. 4.8 In 1998 planning permission (Ref. 5/97/9017) was granted for a deep extension (the sinking) in the south western part of the site. This permission allowed mineral working to take place below 40m AOD down to a base-depth of 25m AOD over an area of some 4.6ha for an eight year period so as to enable the extraction of 1.6million tonnes of high purity carboniferous limestone from the Park Limestone formation. In 2006 planning permission (Ref. 5/05/9013) was granted to extend the time period for the working of the sinking until 31 March 2015 as the permitted reserves had not yet been worked-out. 4.9 In 2010 the County Council approved a Review of Old Mineral Permission (ROMP) application (Ref.

  • Core Strategy
    South Lakeland Local Development Framework Core Strategy ADOPTED 20 OCTOBER 2010 Lawrence Conway, Chief Executive, South Lakeland District Council www.southlakeland.gov.uk/ldf Alternative formats of this document are available by calling 01539 733333 ext.7102 South Lakeland Local Development Framework Core Strategy Foreword South Lakeland’s superb natural setting shapes the district’s image and plays a major role in its development, making it a very attractive location for residents and visitors alike. However, while the district can offer a quality of life that is second to none, it does experience problems common to many rural areas. There is a need to deliver more balanced communities and reduce inequality, including reducing dependency on high-level services and jobs in towns outside the district, increasing provision of affordable housing and developing and maintaining high-quality modern sustainable transport networks. The challenge is to secure a sustainable level and pattern of development that creates balanced communities and meets local needs whilst protecting the environment that makes the district special. The Core Strategy document sets out the development strategy for South Lakeland outside the National Park areas up to 2025. It is a long-term plan. It draws together strategies of the council and other organisations whose activities have implications for the development and use of land. It puts the aspirations of the Sustainable Community Strategy into effect – seeking to create a sustainable district that is the best possible place to live, work and visit. The Core Strategy is a document which forms part of the South Lakeland Local Development Framework (LDF).
