Mineral resource is available in quarries within the Cernydd Carmel SAC. We understand that these are either considered dormant or inactive. However, although classed as inactive and dormant, they have extant planning permissions and could become operational again. We note their capacity can be used in the regional landbank figures set out in the Regional Technical Statement (RTS 1st Review 2014).
Any resumption of quarrying within the Cernydd Carmel SAC must comply with all the relevant legislation, including the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended). Before commencement, the applicant would have to demonstrate that the operations would have no significant effect on either the biological or geological feature of this European designated site.
There are other quarries in the county which having been left undeveloped and have some rare biodiversity. Some of these are undesignated and perhaps such areas should be considered for designation as Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs).
Noted. Any resumption of quarrying within the Cernydd Carmel SAC would be a Development Management matter and would be addressed as part of the conditions of the extant permission.
