Councillors confirm reasons for refusing RCT quarry expansion plans ahead of appeal

Councillors have approved arguments for refusing a Rhondda Cynon Taf quarry’s expansion plans that will be used to defend appeals against the decisions.

Hanson UK, which runs Craig yr Hesg quarry on Berw Road in Glyncoch, had applied for a western expansion of the site and a separate application for permission to keep operating at the site for six more years.

But both applications were rejected by the council’s planning committee and now, following appeals being submitted against both, the applications went back before the committee on Thursday, February 10, for it to clarify what the applicant claims are inconsistencies about the refusals.
