The Environment Agency has issued an additional response to plans for a quarry north of Bengeo.
In a letter to the planning authority, they request an additional condition to any planning approval, requiring the applicant to provide a scheme for repairs to the water borehole in Wadesmill Road, before any quarrying takes place. The condition would also require the applicant to provide “a programme for future maintenance, schedule for repairs and a contingency action plan”.

The County Council is expected to make a decision on the Bengeo Quarry later this month.
