A quarry firm will this week hear if their intention to extend their site to dig out millions of tonnes of stone has been successful.
Armstrong’s, who currently operate Montcliffe quarry, off Georges Lane in Horwich, close to Rivington Pike and the West Pennine moors, intend to extend the site northwards.
The plans are a resubmission of a previous application which was refused by Bolton Council in March 2021 for three reasons, harm to landscape character, inappropriate development in the green belt and harm to biodiversity.
Bolton’s planning committee will decide the latest application on Thursday, July 21. In planning documents submitted to the council Armstrong’s said that they now proposed a shallower quarry depth meaning that 820,000 fewer tonnes of mineral would be extracted and the anticipated time-scales for completion of extraction works would be 14 years rather than the originally anticipated 20 years.
