PDE Consulting Limited recently prepared a planning application on behalf of Allen Newport Limited for a minor western extension to Cavenham Quarry for the extraction, processing, sale and distribution of sand and gravel and subsequent restoration using inert materials together with the establishment of a replacement recycling facility with the continued use of the existing processing plant, ancillary infrastructure and access. The application also seeks to allow for an alternative restoration scheme for the existing quarry using inert materials.
The application was submitted to Suffolk County Council and subsequently validated on 27 August 2020. Should planning permission be granted, the application will enable Allen Newport Limited to continue supplying mineral to the local construction market as well as enabling the existing quarry to be restored for ecological gain that will complement the surrounding landscape.
