Weston extension granted at Shardlow quarry

We have recently been granted Planning Permission by Derbyshire County Council for the “Weston Extension” to the quarry located to the south-west of the existing workings.  The permission increases the reserves of sand and gravel by some four million tonnes and the life of the quarry by around eight years. The new reserves will be transported to the existing plant site off Acre Lane for processing, but delivery vehicles will continue to use the direct link onto the A50 except when the access road is flooded. It is anticipated that working of the extension will commence in Spring 2016.
