Plans for Bolton quarry extension unanimously rejected

Montcliffe Quarry PLANS to extend a quarry to extract 2.75 million tonnes of stone on moorland close to Rivington Pike have been rejected. Councillors on Bolton’s planning committee unanimously opposed the plans saying it would have a harmful affect on greenbelt land and affect the openness of the nearby moors and hills. Armstrongs Aggregates Ltd, which operates Montcliffe Quarry, Georges Lane, Horwich, asked for permission for an extension of approximately 3.2 hectares on green land to the north west of the existing quarry. The development, which has been the subject of 91 letters of objection and strong opposition from Horwich Town Council and borough councillors, would release a further 2.75 million tonnes of gritstone and other aggregates.

Quarry expansion plans near Rivington rejected by town council

The plans have already received 48 letters of objection from members of the public with Horwich Town Council now also objecting to the plans. Horwich North East councillor, Richard Silvester, said before the meeting: “The application site is within green belt, the Winter Hill and Smithills Moor Site of Biological Importance and the Upland Moorland Hills Landscape Character Area and either within or adjacent to the newly created West Pennine Moors Site of Special Scientific Interest. “I believe the application to extend the area of the quarry into open green belt land will not preserve the openness of the green belt as it will take away the existing openness of the land within the area proposed to be extracted.
