It will be necessary at planning application stage to demonstrate that there will beno adverse impacts to this designated site, for example, through changes to hydrologicalregime or water quality or impacts via airborne pollutants, particulates or litterOther ecological and other environmental impacts to local nature conservation interestswill also need to be assessed at application stage and suitable mitigation provided ifnecessaryA Transport Assessment will be required.

This will entail waste operations being enclosed within a building withappropriate mitigation measures including dust / odour suppressionConsideration will need to be given to the best location for the Household Recycling Centrewithin the area of search, having regard to the need to be accessible by new and existingcommunities, and compatibility with adjoining uses. This will be determined through themaster planning of this area.

Depending on the volume and extent of infill proposed an Environment Impact Assessmentmay be requiredRestoration plans should accord with what is already being implemented at the Maxeyquarry to the west of the siteIt is anticipated that the site will be restored for agriculture, wildlife conservation andamenityReclamation options are constrained by the proximity to RAFWittering Safeguarding (birdstrike) but opportunity should be taken to improve wildlife diversity of the site in any schemeA Flood Risk Assessment will need to be undertaken as the site is within Flood Zone 3.This should include a Surface Water Drainage StrategyTraffic to continue to be directed from site entrance away from Maxey village towards A15The same site entrance, off Maxey Road, and plant site is required to be used for themineral extraction.

178

it would be more appropriate to agree an alternative access point if this occurs when theexisting quarry and the southern extension have been completed or largely completedand the continued use of the access would prevent the completion of the reclamation ofthe majority of the quarryThere may be an opportunity for infilling to original ground levels using inert waste materialsat this site provided that acceptable access can be found to this area for the depositionof the waste materials and that it does not prevent the land being restored in a phasedand timely mannerThe opportunity should be considered of using conveyors, if practicable, so that the existingquarry access can be utilisedThe opportunity should be taken to undertake advance screening of the eastern area priorto the commencement of any operations at the site - of both the residential property andthe A15Area to the south east of the site has been omitted as a result of archaeological concerns.However, archaeology remains a key consideration although it is anticipated that this willhave been addressed when extraction of sand and gravel is under considerationThe impact of noise and dust from landfill and recycling operations on the users of theA15 and Maxey Road, local residents, visitors to the restored quarry area or users ofrights of way needs to be considered and mitigation measures put in place to minimiseits impact and to safeguard amenityReclamation of the site should be to agriculture but with opportunity taken for additionaltree planting, for biodiversity enhancements and for improving public accessFlood Defence Consent will be required for any works in, over or under or within 9 metresof Maxey Cut.
