MIN15 Proposals for Ready Mix Concrete Plants

Subject to the applicants being able to establish that their proposals are in accordance with the policies of the plan and other environmental considerations, ready-mixed concrete plants will be regarded as acceptable in broad principle in the following circumstances:

  1. At sand and gravel pits to process material won from that pit where there is good access to the primary road network and permission has been granted for a sand and gravel processing plant. Any permission will be granted for the life of the extraction activity; thereafter the plant must be removed in its entirety and land restored to the satisfaction of the local planning authority;
  2. Eventual cessation of extraction north of the A40 in the Colne Valley Park will result in there being no sites remaining satisfying criteria (1), and the minerals planning authority will therefore consider proposals having regard to the level of provision within the borough in adjoining authorities;
  3. To meet temporary needs generated by major construction projects. any permission will only be granted for the duration of the project; thereafter the plant must be removed in its entirety and the land restored to the satisfaction of the local planning authority;
  4. At rail depots where the coarse aggregates are transported by rail.
