Respondent: Wilsden Parish Council

We note the proposal for a new potential site In Wilsden adjacent to the existing Bank Top Quarry and our concerns relate to both this and the provisions of Policy 16 for Mineral Site restoration. The development of the new site should not be seen as a reason to delay the restoration of the original site once the existing workings are depleted.

Bank Top currently has planning permission for 13ha (with actual working area of 9.1ha due to peripheral constraints) over 32 years ending in 2019 beyond the plan period. There is therefore no need to make provision in the Local Plan for a further quarry extension of 9.8ha with its presumption of planning permission. It is also important that the rate of extraction is not speeded up by such a presumption when the long term needs for stone needs to be considered

Buck Park Quarry - this site encompasses Buck Park Quarry Local Wildlife Site and as such we object to its inclusion within the allocations. The inclusion of such a site will mean that national and local policy cannot be adhered to due to the loss of habitats of significant biodiversity interest.

Hainworth Shaw Quarry - this site lies immediately adjacent to Harden Moor and Deepcliffe Wood Local Wildlife Site which should be protected from any direct or indirect impacts as a result of minerals extraction.
