(A) The continuation of aggregate extraction and processing as permitted under Reg. Ref. 07/267 that arose following S.261 registration of the extraction operation under reference No. QR42. (B) The lateral extension of the permitted extraction activities in westerly and northerly directions. Over a combined area of approx. 13.8 ha to match existing extraction depth that is above watertable. The proposed western extension is for the extraction of sand and gravel, and rock over an area of approx. 10.7 ha. The proposed northern extension is primarily for the extraction of sand and gravel over an area of approx. 3.1 ha. The extension areas are proposed to be extracted on a phased basis that incorporate into the existing extraction and restoration plans. The proposed lateral extension areas of sand and gravel, and rock will be processed using existing site processing facilities and are intended to maintain the extraction and aggregate production capabilities of the existing construction aggregate production operation. The proposed extension areas will include ancillary development in the form of landscaped screening bunds. (C) The replacement of existing wastewater holding system for the existing canteen/office with proprietary wastewater treatment system. (D) Ancillary site works. The application site area under reg. Ref. 07/267 was 57.9 ha. The proposed lateral extraction extension areas will increase the overall extraction area to approx. 54.3 ha. The total application area is approx. 75.0 ha and includes the ancillary processing plant and welfare facilities. The application site excludes an area of 0.23 ha that is the subject of a current planning application for retention of a maintenance shed under Reg. Ref. 19/1230. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and Natura Impact Statement (NIS) have been prepared to accompany the planning application that include the existence of this maintenance shed in the assessment study areas. The planning application is accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and Natura Impact Statement (NIS), for development

backfilling a sand and gravel pit to its original ground level using approximately 8,225,000 tonnes of imported natural inert waste materials, principally soil and stone generated by construction and development projects; Establishment and operation of an inert soil waste recovery facility to provide for the recovery through backfilling, of natural inert soil and stone waste, at a maximum rate of 500,000 tonnes per annum; Installation of site infrastructure adjacent to the pit, including a weighbridge, a shared site/weighbridge office, staff welfare facilities, a paved refueling area with hydrocarbon interceptor and equipment/sample storage facilities. Construction of a portal frame structure for a waste inspection and quarantine facility; Construction of an access ramp parallel to the southern pit face; Use of an existing internal haul road across Roadstone lands to the south (through Doran’s Pit, Co. Wicklow), between a junction with the N81 National Secondary Road and the pit; Widening of the access road into Redbog pit to provide a separate access to third party lands and the erection of a security barrier and dividing palisade fence to restrict access to the recovery facility; Progressive restoration of the backfilled landform to long-term grassland/agricultural use and installation of long term drainage/soakaway trenches. Planning permission is sought for period of up to 30 years. The proposed development requires a waste licence from the Environmental Protection Agency. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) will be submitted to the Planning Authority in connection with the application

• extension of the existing sand and gravel pit, in two separate but contiguous working areas on the eastern side of the Doran’s Pit Complex; • installation of new site infrastructure to facilitate the proposed pit development, principally a weighbridge and associated site / weighbridge office, a wheelwash, additional settlement lagoons, electrical charging infrastructure, staff welfare facilities and equipment / sample storage facilities; • stripping of overburden soils for immediate use in construction of environmental / perimeter safety bunds and stockpiling of any excess topsoil and overburden soil cover pending its re-use as cover material in future pit restoration works; • extraction of in-situ sand and gravel to within 2m of the in-situ groundwater table using battery powered (i.e. non-fossil fuel powered) mechanical excavators; • temporary removal and subsequent reinstatement of the existing internal haul road running north-south inside the eastern property boundary. The reinstated road will be lowered to run over the working floor of the Upper Pit and will rise northwards on an earth embankment (ramp) to the existing site access along Darker’s Lane; • transfer of excavated sand and gravel to the existing processing (washing and screening) plant to the west of the excavation area using battery powered dump trucks; • continued processing of excavated sand and gravel at the existing (mains-powered) processing plant to the west of the excavation area; • use of the adjoining (existing) pond and additional (new) ponds to settle out the separated fine particulate (silt) materials; • continued stockpiling of unprocessed sand and gravel and/or processed aggregates around the washing and screening plant, as required; • dispatch of processed aggregates off-site via the existing site access road and its junction with the N81 National Secondary Road at Santryhill (and any future replacement link road to the Blessington Inner Relief Road constructed over the life of the proposed development); • upgrading of the internal haul roads across Roadstone lands as required to support the proposed pit development, to include re-surfacing of the section between the proposed wheelwash facility and the existing N81 junction where necessary; • implementation of scheme to progressively restore excavated pit areas (in phases) to agricultural grassland in tandem with extraction activities
