Additional documents:
Minutes: The Committee received a presentation by the Case Officer on the proposed application to vary conditions 3, 8 and 11 of planning permission SS.18/08/627 M relating to an extension of time for working operations to 30 November 2019 so as to allow: 1) the continued export of stockpiled sand and gravel; and 2) the import of restoration materials subject to the prior approval of the Mineral Planning Authority.
The Case Office informed the Committee that the County Council, as the Highway Authority, had now responded to the consultation and had no objection to the proposals on highway grounds.
The Committee queried if the site would be open to the public when the restoration was completed as there will be a lake in the middle of the site. The Case Officer explained that footpaths would cross the restored site, but the land would be in private ownership and therefore any liabilities would rest with the private landowner. The Committee also queried who would be ensuring that the vehicle movements complied with the planning permission, in response the Case Officer explained that the site operator is required by planning condition to record all vehicle movements.
The Committee expressed their disappointment that the applicant has sought a further extension of time having been granted an extension by the Committee on 7 March 2019. The Committee were advised that no further extraction or importation of waste is taking place on the site as this application is to remove the remaining stockpiles.
The Committee were informed that the Liaison Committee will reconvene on 24 October 2019 which will provide an opportunity for local residents to see how the restoration works are progressing.
Following a vote it was:
RESOLVED – To PERMIT the application to vary (not comply with) conditions 3, 8 and 11 of planning permission SS.18/08/627 M relating to an extension of time for working operations to 30 November 2019 to allow: 1) the continued export of stockpiled sand and gravel; and, 2) the import of restoration materials subject to the prior approval of the Mineral Planning Authority, subject to the conditions of the current planning permission (SS.15/13/627 M and the conditions highlighted in the report.
