Stephenson Halliday has coordinated and submitted on behalf of J A Jackson a planning application and accompanying Environmental Statement to extend the existing sand quarry, located near Preston, Lancashire westwards over some 10.2ha, amend the restoration scheme and continue the recycling and waste transfer activities for a period of 12 years. In tandem with developing the extension proposals we were asked to consider the long term after uses for the site after restoration complete. This provided an opportunity to develop a detailed masterplan incorporating formal and informal recreation facilities as well as enhance the nature conservation interests of the site. It is anticipated the application will be determined early 2008.

Cumbria County Planning and Development Committee have approved the application for the landfill of inert waste and recycling operations at Roan Edge Landfill Site, Killington. The Roan Edge site is an integral part of the recycling and waste management operations carried out in South Lakeland. We produced the Supporting Statement to accompany a planning application and carried out discussions with the Planning Authority. At the same time as making the application to extend the timescale the submitted Supporting Statement amends the proposals to better accommodate the increase in recycling operations which has occurred over recent years. The engineering of void space to accommodate the recycling and processing operations would provide additional landfill capacity lengthening the life of the site.
