The quarry already has planning permission thanks to the post-war building boom. The fact that it has been lying dormant for all these years is apparently immaterial.
All the Park has the power to do realistically is amend conditions to bring the quarry upto 'modern' environmental standards.
It could revoke the planning permission but then compensation would have to be paid to the operator. This compo would more than likely be bigger than the Park's budget!
