Proposed in application · Kilkenny 2560532: continued quarry use and the proposed lateral extension
What the evidence says
The July 2025 EIAR describes a 24.5 ha lateral extension: 18.2 ha of extraction and 6.3 ha of storage and screening berms. It explicitly excludes the independently operated asphalt plant from this application, while considering it for cumulative assessment.
Kilkenny 2560532: continued quarry use and the proposed lateral extension
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: keeps the extension, extraction footprint and neighbouring operation distinct.
What is not established
The current appeal outcome and any later amended footprint are not established.

Proposed in application · Processing for the proposed quarry extension; existing plant identified in the July 2025 EIAR
What the evidence says
The project description says the lateral extension uses the existing fixed and mobile crushing and screening plant. It states that no extra crushing or screening equipment is required. This is the applicant's proposed operating arrangement, not a new equipment purchase.
Processing for the proposed quarry extension; existing plant identified in the July 2025 EIAR
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: avoids treating a quarry extension as evidence of a new processing-plant order.
What is not established
Plant manufacturers, replacement work, procurement and current operational condition are not established.

Proposed in application · Existing quarry water management described in the July 2025 application
What the evidence says
The water chapter routes quarry water through a concrete tank sump and settlement ponds, with a hydrocarbon interceptor between the ponds. It describes a flume and ultrasonic flow meter at the discharge. The report proposes using this existing system for the extension; its capacity claim has not been independently certified here.
Existing quarry water management described in the July 2025 application
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies the civil and monitoring systems while preserving their reported existing status.
What is not established
New pump or interceptor procurement, current certification and any appeal-imposed upgrade are not established.

Proposed in application · Reported existing water supply supporting proposed continued quarry use
What the evidence says
The water report describes a supply borehole averaging 350 cubic metres per day for offices, concrete batching, cooling, dust suppression and the wheelwash. It describes the existing wastewater system separately. This is reported operational supply, not a new mains connection or a newly approved abstraction quantity.
Reported existing water supply supporting proposed continued quarry use
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: separates operational water supply from wastewater infrastructure and proposed new work.
What is not established
Current measured demand, abstraction authorisation and a new water-system contract are not established.

Proposed in application · Application mitigation for the proposed quarry extension
What the evidence says
The July 2025 schedule proposes about 5.5 ha of mixed broadleaved woodland on screening berms, about 860 m of new native hedgerow and enhancement of about 300 m of existing hedgerow. These are different landscape measures, not one combined area or an installed planting schedule.
Application mitigation for the proposed quarry extension
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies the proposed landscape package without combining unlike quantities.
What is not established
Final approved planting details, species quantities, procurement and completed planting are not established.
