MDL Developments Ltd. propose working a limited part of the current Penlee Quarry excavation to produce armourstone as and when there is a local demand for such materials. In December 1999 planning permission was obtained for a large extension of the existing quarry. This permission related to a planning application for continuing quarry operations and the extension and was required under the Environment Act 1995. That Act specified that longstanding mineral planning permissions should be revised and planning conditions governing quarrying operations should be updated in line with current good quarry practice. The Cornwall Mineral Planning Authority (MPA) Planning Permission (99/W/0003) sets out 37 separate planning conditions several of which required Schemes of Operation to control specific potential impacts of quarrying. MDL Developments Ltd., with their consultants, submitted a set of Schemes to the MPA covering these requirements on 28 February 2006. The 270 page document includes an Introduction and seven separate Scheme Submissions. Each Scheme Submission is accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and a Non-Technical Summary of that EIA.
Copies of the full submission are available from: Penlee Quarry at a cost of £45.00 plus V.A.T. plus carriage. Alternatively a CD is available priced £10.00 plus V.A.T. plus postage.
This website is intended to provide information regarding the armourstone quarry. Following the acceptance of the Scheme Submission:
