Planning application to restore disused Waterford quarry granted

Planning permission has been granted for the restoration of a disused Waterford rock and gravel quarry to agricultural use. 

Waterford City and County Council approved the application from TBEB Ltd. for the site at Powersknock, Kilmeaden this week. 

The quarry - which comprises some 3.26 hectares - will be restored to agricultural use using imported inert soil and stone classified as Article 27 by-products of the construction industry. 

This will include the import of some 270,000m3 of that material over a period of 5 years. 

The application was approved under 12 conditions.
