NO. 1/46/11/00002/R APPLICATION TO EXTEND THE TIME LIMIT FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF SAND AND GRAVEL EXTRACTION, PREVIOUSLY GRANTED UNDER PLANNING PERMISSION 1/46/06/00014. LAND AT STURTON LE STEEPLE, RETFORD, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. APPLICANT: LAFARGE AGGREGATES LIMITED. Purpose of Report 1. To consider a planning application which seeks to extend the date of commencement of a planning permission originally granted by the County Council on the 1st October 2008 for sand and gravel extraction and associated works at land to the north and east of Sturton le Steeple.

The Site and Surroundings 2.
