Report by Head of Development and Economic Growth

The Area Team Leader for Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands spoke to the terms of the report.  This Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) has been submitted for an extension to the existing Kilmartin Quarry which has been worked for a significant period of time with permissions extending back to 1986.  The original extraction void has been worked and is in the process of restoration but the processing plant and settlement ponds remain in situ and are expected to support the proposed extension.  The proposed extension is to the north east and extends to some 4ha.   The land is currently agricultural with some mature trees across the site.  Access is proposed from the existing A846 main road off a single track to a point just north of the centre of Kilmartin village as utilised by the current workings.  The report summarises the policy considerations as well as potential material considerations and key issues based upon the information received to date.  It was recommended that Members note the content of the report and submissions and provide such feedback as they consider appropriate in respect of this PAN to allow these matters to be considered by the Applicants in finalising any future planning application submission.

Decision

The Committee noted the content of the report and raised no further issues for consideration by the Applicant in finalising any future planning submission.
