Bengeo Parish Council have renewed their criticism of plans for a quarry north on Bengeo, following resubmission of RJD’s planning application.
In their letter to the planning authority they state: “… although the key amendments to the Developers application for extraction of gravel at Bengeo Quarry are welcome this still leaves major problems for the residents of Bengeo Rural who live adjacent to the B158.
As stated in our previous objection the B158 is an extremely dangerous particularly when accessing by the residents.
For the Rickneys application approximately 10 years ago the main condition which had to be fulfilled before any extraction took place was that a third lane should be installed opposite the entrance so the traffic can flow even though lorries are waiting.“
