The application proposes the postponement of extraction of the indigenous reserves for four years, to allow the importation, for processing and sale, of as dug sand and gravel from the agricultural reservoir construction site at Fen Farm. The life of the quarry, including the processing plant and coated roadstone plant, would be extended by six years to 31 December 2012.
