Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 17, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
- If permitted development, the effect of the siting, design and external appearance of the proposed plant on the amenity of the neighbourhood or whether it ought to be, and could reasonably be, sited elsewhere
What decided it
The revised wording of the GDPO now includes 'utilisation' of minerals won at the mine, which brings the concrete batching plant within Class B permitted development, and its siting within the quarry would not harm the amenity of the neighbourhood.
