Stephenson Halliday has coordinated and submitted on behalf of J A Jackson a planning application and accompanying Environmental Statement to extend the existing sand quarry, located near Preston, Lancashire westwards over some 10.2ha, amend the restoration scheme and continue the recycling and waste transfer activities for a period of 12 years. In tandem with developing the extension proposals we were asked to consider the long term after uses for the site after restoration complete. This provided an opportunity to develop a detailed masterplan incorporating formal and informal recreation facilities as well as enhance the nature conservation interests of the site. It is anticipated the application will be determined early 2008.
