On behalf of Allen Newport Limited, PDE recently submitted a planning application to Suffolk County Council seeking planning permission for the installation and use of a washing plant for the recycling of inert materials together with associated access onto the highway at Cavenham Quarry, Tuddenham, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Planning permission was granted by Suffolk County Council on 05 April 2024.
The grant of planning permission is great news for Allen Newport Limited, the washing plant will extract recyclable aggregates which will be processed and classified according to size. These recycled aggregates can then be sold on, providing a valuable alternative to primary aggregate products within the local construction industry. With the removal of recyclable aggregates, the remaining non-recyclable material will be used to facilitate a high quality restoration of the Quarry.
