On behalf of our client, SRC, PDE submitted a planning application for the retention of a water management pipeline at Martell’s Quarry, Ardleigh. The application was made to Essex County Council and permission was granted subject to conditions to retain the pipeline on the 4th September 2018.
The pipeline will enable SRC to replace the existing infrastructure which is now beyond economic repair. The new pipeline will connect two water bodies to the permitted extraction area enabling the dewatering of the extraction area to support the wider operations of the Quarry.
