4. Prior to the commencement of any work on the proposed extension, the works to improve the entrance as shown in Figure 3.11.2 must be set out with visibility splays of 2m by 54 available in both directions.

5. Prior to the commencement of any works on site, the applicant must have approved by the Planning Authority:

a) a scheme for monitoring of the impact on wildlife throughout the development, including the reporting of species of importance and the action to be taken in this respect,
b) a scheme for the undertaking of appropriate management to enhance other areas of heathland around the quarry based upon the operational life of the quarry
c) a detailed scheme for the monitoring of the water level in the pond indicating who is to monitor this and the steps to be taken if levels are affected adversely by the proposed quarry extension.

6. During the undertaking of the excavation as approved, prior to any work being undertaken in the vicinity of the archaeological site identified as 01 in the Environmental Statement, Manx National Heritage must be given the opportunity to inspect the feature and advise the Planning Authority of recommended mitigation. Such mitigation must be undertaken in accordance with such advice as confirmed by the Planning Authority.

7.

8. Prior to the commencement of works on the approved extension to the quarry, the applicant must have approved by the Planning Authority schemes which
