"As many of you are aware, following Tarmac Northern Ltd's failed application to quarry Ladybridge, a site within the ritual landscape of the Thornborough Henges last year, a revised planning application has been filed, and this is due to be determined by North Yorkshire's planning committee on the 16th January at 10am, Masham Town Hall.
The Council Officers recommendations to the planning committee have been published, and they have recommended approval of the revised application, meaning the quarrying of Thornboroughs landscape is now highly likely to continue.
Furthermore, a total of four areas at Thornborough have been proposed as preferred areas for quarrying in future, by two quarry companies, Tarmac Northern and Hanson. I suggest that if the application for Ladybridge is granted, then Thornborough will become a preferred area for quarrying, meaning that future planning applications will be far more difficult to defend against.
I'm not sure how many on this list are interested, but I suggest that if you do wish to see the wider landscape of this important ancient site preserved, then now is just about your last chance to act. My recommendation would be to attend the planning meeting, and to write to your mp, the press and the Secretary of State. Also, we should all be encouraging others to do the same.
Thanks
George.
