“The application seeks to vary conditions 1, 2, 3, 8, 19, 22 and 36 as attached to planning permission CL/14/0140 (noting that the request to delete condition 28 of this planning permission has been deleted from the scope of this current planning application).”

“The need for these proposed variations to the extant planning conditions arises from the granting of planning permission in respect of planning application reference P/24/0681, which relates to full planning permission for an extension to the operational extent of the quarry and an extension to the time period covered by the existing permission for the operation of the quarry.”

“Site Description 2.1 The application site relates to an area of land lying within the boundaries of the current operational area associated with Cloburn Quarry.”

“The existing quarry lies some 5km to the east-southeast of Lanark, with the village of Pettinain lying some 750m to the north-east of the quarry.”

This variation raises no issues of conflict with the provisions of the development plan and will allow all the permissions which govern and control the operation of the site to have a common end date.”

Under the terms of planning permission reference P/24/0681, updated phasing information has been provided within the EIAR, dated May 2024, and the proposed variation to this condition seeks simply to make reference to this updated information.”
