Formation of southern extension; new extraction beneath existing lagoons and progressive restoration for a period of 6 years Minutes: In accordance with the declaration made at minute 185, Councillor Simon Harris took no part in the debate and did not vote on this item.
The Principal Planner introduced the application, which was an application for the formation of southern extension; new extraction beneath existing lagoons and progressive restoration for a period of 6 years at Gonsal Quarry and with reference to the drawings and photographs displayed, he drew Members’ attention to the location, layout and elevations.
The Principal Planner drew Members attention to the information contained in the schedule of late representations and to further emails received.
In accordance with virtual meeting speaking protocol the following Public Speaker statements were read out: · Mr & Mrs Regan, local residents in opposition to the proposal · Condover Parish Council in opposition to the proposal · Councillor Dan Morris, local Member in opposition to the proposal. (In accordance with the public speaking protocol Councillor Morris read his statement) · Robin Smithyman (Agent) on behalf of the applicants in support of the proposal During the ensuing debate Members comments included · Concern regarding the ongoing effect of large lorries travelling through the village of Condover. · Concern regarding ongoing enforcement action over breaches of current planning conditions · Concern that SAMDev policy MD5B was not being complied with as the requirement for the creation of a new access to the A49 was not being met.
RESOLVED:
That contrary to Officer recommendation planning permission be refused for the following reasons:
The application is in conflict with the development guidelines accompanying SAMDev Policy MD5b in that the requirement for a new access to the A49 avoiding Condover village has not been met. Consequently, the proposals would result in an unacceptable continuation of large quarry HGV movements through Condover Village and Conservation Area and a corresponding adverse impact on local amenities. It is not considered that the applicant’s mitigation proposals are sufficient to address this. (SAMDev Policy MD2, MD5b, MD13, MD13) |

Norton Farm’ Condover, Shrewsbury, SY5 7AR (20/05371/FU) PDF 798 KB Development of a satellite stocking yard to serve operations from Gonsal Quarry Minutes: In accordance with the declaration made at minute 185, Councillor Simon Harris took no part in the debate and did not vote on this item.
The Principal Planner introduced the application, which was an application for the Development of a satellite stocking yard to serve operations from Gonsal Quarry
The Principal Planner advised Members that in light of the refusal of the previous application, as the applications were interdependent his recommendation would change to one of refusal as the primary justification for the proposal did not now apply.
RESOLVED:
That contrary to Officer recommendation planning permission be refused for the following reasons:
The depot proposals are inter-dependent with an application to extend Gonsal Quarry near Condover which has been refused (20/03173/MAW). The primary justification for the proposals to allow improved control of quarry traffic passing through Condover does not therefore apply. Accordingly, there is insufficient justification for the proposals to outweigh the general protections afforded to the open countryside under Core Strategy Policy CS5 and related policies. (Core Strategy Policy CS5, CS17, SAMDev Policy MD2, MD7b, MD12)
