Hulands Quarry, Nr Bowes, Durham PDF 466 KB Planning Services COMMITTEE REPORT APPLICATION DETAILS APPLICATION NO: DM/14/00465/WAS Change of use from quarry to recycling of road planings FULL APPLICATION DESCRIPTION : and road base NAME OF APPLICANT : Aggregate Industries ADDRESS : Hulands Quarry, nr Bowes, Durham ELECTORAL DIVISION : Barnard Castle West Chris Shields, Planning Officer CASE OFFICER : 03000261394 [email protected] DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE AND PROPOSALS Site 1. Hulands Quarry is an established carboniferous limestone quarry (site area of 52.9 Ha) situated between roads A66(T) and A67, 2 km to the east of Bowes and 4 km to the south west of Barnard Castle. It is a regionally important producer of coated roadstone, single sized and blended aggregates, agricultural lime and rock armour. 2. There are several isolated properties close by the quarry. Two farms to the east and south of the proposed extension area are owned by Aggregate Industries (Northside West and Bowes Cross Farm). A further property, Northside East lies to the east and two properties (Hulands Farm and High Broats Farm) are located to the north west and west of the existing quarry. 3. The application site is an area of the existing worked out quarry floor within Hulands Quarry covering an area of 2.2 hectares. This area is currently occupied by aggregate stockpiles of various grades. The application site is screened by the quarry faces on all sides. Proposal 4. It is proposed to recycle up to 75,000 tonnes per annum of road planings and road base. Although the actual level is likely to be significantly less than this, the maximum figure has been provided to match the standard rules Environmental Permit. An Environmental Permit is required to allow the operator to store and sort waste material. 5. The road planings and road base would be imported from road maintenance and construction projects supplied by the company. In many cases the vehicles delivering coated roadstone to the project would be able use their return journey to take the road planings or road base to the site to minimise vehicle movements. Road planings and road base would be stockpiled within the application area until a mass of 3 - 4000 tonnes has accumulated and at this point a mobile screen and crusher would be brought on to site to process the material into graded stockpiles of aggregate in the sizes <8mm, 10-20mm and 20mm+. None of the stockpiles would have a height exceeding 5 metres. The recycled road planings and road base can be incorporated into new coated roadstone at a ratio of 1:4 (20%) and so the stockpiles would be gradually used in this manner. 6. Due to the continued operation of the quarry it may not always be possible for the stockpiles of road planings and road base, and mobile plant to always be in the same place. The overall activity would typically not require an area of more than 1 hectare and therefore the application area of 2.2 hectares is intended to allow a degree of flexibility. 7. Importation of road planings and road base would largely take place during the day but would also be brought back at night if there was an overnight road resurfacing project being carried out. The mobile plant would have the capacity to process approximately 200 tonnes per hour and would be on site for 2-3 days at a time. The mobile plant would have its own environmental permit and would be operated within the hours of 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 1pm on Saturday. If the recycling operation were to reach the 75,000 tonnes per annum then the mobile plant would be on site for approximately 50 days per year. 8. The access for the quarry is off the A689 road. It is proposed that the vehicle movements associated with the proposed development would utilise this access. There would be an average of 12 HVGVs per day, assuming that 50% of the imported material is backhauled. 9. The application is reported to the County Planning Committee because it represents a proposal for a major waste development. PLANNING HISTORY 10. Limestone extraction at the site dates from the 1850’s. Planning permission was first granted for its continued use as a quarry by the North Riding of Yorkshire Joint Planning Board Scheme in 1947. In March 1991 planning permission was granted for various alterations to the quarry’s infrastructure, including provision of a coated roadstone plant, concrete batching and screening and crushing plant. In 1998 an extension to the existing quarry and infill with inert waste was granted planning permission with an accompanying Section 106 Agreement. Elements of this scheme modified the restoration proposals and removal of the waste importation. 11. Planning permission was granted in 2009 for an eastern extension to Hulands Quarry and consolidation of the previous planning permissions (6/90/341CM and 6/96/199CM) with quarrying due to cease in September 2024 and final restoration due 18 months following cessation of operations. PLANNING POLICY NATIONAL POLICY : 12. The Government has consolidated all planning policy statements, guidance notes and many circulars into a single policy statement, the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The overriding message is that new development that is sustainable should go ahead without delay. It defines the role of planning in achieving sustainable development under three topic headings – economic, social and environmental, each mutually dependant. The presumption in favour of sustainable development set out in the NPPF requires local planning authorities to approach development management decisions positively, utilising twelve ‘core planning principles’. 13. In accordance with paragraph 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the weight to be attached to relevant saved local plan policy will depend upon the degree of consistency with the NPPF. The greater the consistency, the greater the weight. The relevance of this issue is discussed, where appropriate, in the assessment section of the report. The following elements of the NPPF are considered relevant to this proposal: 14. The NPPF does not contain specific waste policies, since national waste planning policy will be published as part of the National Waste Management Plan for England. However, the NPPF requires local authorities preparing waste plans and taking decisions on waste applications should have regard to policies in the NPPF so far as relevant. 15. In accordance with paragraph 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the weight to be attached to relevant saved local plan policy will depend upon the degree of consistency with the NPPF. The greater the consistency, the greater the weight. The relevance of this issue is discussed, where appropriate, in the assessment section of the report. The following elements of the NPPF are considered relevant to this proposal. 16. NPPF Part 11 – Conserving and Enhancing the Natural Environment – The planning system should contribute to, and enhance the natural environment by; protecting and enhancing valued landscapes, recognising the benefits of ecosystem services, minimising impacts on biodiversity and providing net gains in biodiversity where possible, preventing new and existing development being put at risk from unacceptable levels of soil, air, water or noise pollution or land instability, and remediating contaminated and unstable land. Part 11 states that local planning authorities should focus on whether the development itself is an acceptable use of the land, and the impact of the use, rather than the control of processes or emissions themselves where these are subject to approval under pollution control regimes. 17. NPPF Part 13 – Facilitating the sustainable use of minerals – paragraph 144 sets out the considerations in determining planning applications for minerals development. These include ensuring that there are no unacceptable adverse impacts on the natural environment and human health, taking into account the cumulative effect of multiple impacts from individual sites and/or from a number of sites in a locality, and providing through condition for restoration and aftercare at the earliest opportunity to be carried out to high environmental standards. Further advice is provided in the accompanying Technical Guidance of the NPPF. 18. Planning Policy Statement 10: Planning for Sustainable Waste Management sets out the Government's policy to be taken into account by waste planning authorities and forms part of the national waste management plan for the UK. PPS10 is still extant until it is replaced by national waste policy. LOCAL PLAN POLICY : County Durham Minerals Local Plan (2000) 19. Policy M4 – Waste and recycled materials – encourages and supports the use of recycled and waste materials in place of newly won minerals. 20. Policy M5 – Construction/demolition waste recycling facilities – permits proposals to develop construction and demolition wastes at active quarries and landfill sites for a temporary period not exceeding the life of the site of the quarry or landfill site provided that: any existing adverse impacts on the environment or local community are not significantly increased; the operation or restoration of the site is not prejudiced or significantly delayed. 21. Policy M46– Restoration conditions– provide advice in relation to proposals for the after use of mineral sites. The Policies` states that conditions will be imposed, and planning obligations or other legal agreements sought, to cover the matters necessary to ensure the satisfactory restoration of the site.

    ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.
