Proposed Development

for (i) an increase in the total permitted intake of soil and stone and broken rock to the existing licensed soil recovery facility at Halverstown, Kilcullen, Co. Kildare (Planning Ref: 18/453), from 1.2 million tonnes to 2.06 million tonnes and (ii) an extension to the life of the existing facility of 3 years (to December 2029) in order to accommodate the additional soil and stone intake.
