Our proposals:
 |
Extract sand and gravel over approximately 13 years once initial site works are completed. |
 |
Restoration will take circa 25 years starting when Phase 1 extraction is 50% complete. |
 |
Overall life of the development is estimated to be 26.5 years. |
 |
Area to be extracted including the plant site and silt lagoons is 178 hectares. |
 |
Sand and gravel will be dug using a loading shovel and transported by field conveyors to the processing plant reducing noise, dust and use of fossil fuels |
 |
Maintaining mineral activities in the area will secure around 50 jobs directly plus additional work to other local businesses. |
