Due to the public enquiry into whether sand and gravel should be excavated from Ware Park (Bengeo Quarry), the application to extend excavation at Rickneys Quarry has been suspended until the Ware Park enquiry has been complete.
Hanson applied to extend their rights to excavate from Rickneys Quarry up until 31st December 2021. However, with the ongoing application to excavate from Ware Park, the outcome from this enquiry may feature on Hanson’s application.
It is thought the Ware Park enquiry won’t be complete until at least June 2019 at the earliest.
