# Environmental Statement Conclusion

13
CONCLUSION

It is recognised by Earystone Ltd that the proposed development requires
to be designed in compliance with current planning and environmental
guidelines. Due regard has been taken of these factors and measures
devised to mitigate against any potential intrusion resulting from the
proposal.

The method of working has been designed on engineering principles
which shall enable safe working for site personnel while ensuring stability
of the surrounding land.

No quarry development can be designed without adverse environmental
impacts; however mitigation measures can negate many of these, lower
the magnitude of others and reduce the probability of any significant
impacts occurring. Due to the fact that the proposed extension is located
within plantation immediately adjacent to the existing operational quarry,
the development will be a continuation of existing impacts rather than an
introduction of new or increased impacts.

The Environmental Statement concludes that, with the implementation of
the proposed mitigation measures, no significant impacts shall arise from
the development.

Positive impacts shall also accrue as the operational design shall facilitate
an improved restoration of the entire quarry site.
