KEY POINTS FOR OBJECTION

---

📏 Too Big:

The site is 22.5 hectares, far larger than the   16   hectares allowed in the Minerals Plan.

🚚 Too Much Extraction: 

The proposal seeks 1.57 million tonnes   of limestone,   almost double   the 850,000 tonnes permitted.

🏡 Very Close to Homes & School:

The quarry would be   250–300m   from homes, a primary school and playing fields, raising concerns   about dust,   noise and air pollution.

🚛 Traffic & Road Safety:

The quarry could add around   110 HGV movements every day onto the A5, a fast and busy   road where fatal   accidents have already occurred and continue to effect   surrounding villages.

🏗️ Industrial Operations:

The plan includes a Concrete   Mixing Plant and Recycling Facility, which were not part of the original quarry   allocation.

🌳 Environmental Concerns
 Ecological surveys are over   3 years old
 Historic England impact assessment has   not been completed
 Possible archaeological   significance nearby

🕰️ THIS IS NOT TEMPORARY: Operations   could last 9–11 years or   more!
