Chalkpit Quarry operator Southern Gravel's appeal against the limit of 112 HGV movements a day is to be decided by a public inquiry.
Southern Gravel wants a daily limit of 200 HGV movements (100 in and 100 out). The company is also appealing against two other conditions in the planning permission approved by Surrey County Council on 17 October last year and wants them deleted: one is the condition prohibiting HGVs leaving the quarry during school drop off and pick up times, the other involves monitoring the condition of Chalkpit Lane and verges and paying for any repairs needed because of the HGVs.
These conditions have never come into effect because Southern Gravel had six months to appeal the decision. The appeal means that there is still no daily limit on lorry numbers using the quarry.
