At the end of 2008 we secured planning permissions for two extensions to Overby Quarry, operated by Thomas Armstrong Ltd, giving combined additional reserves of 4.5 million tonnes. The permissions were subject to conditions requiring the completion of off-site road works in advance of the commencement of sand extraction operations within these extension areas. In January this year we submitted two planning applications to allow the commencement of sand extraction operation in advance of completing all of the off-site road works. Those applications were approved today.
