The application documents state the quarry would have "highly localised temporary adverse landscape and visual effects"Villagers opposing plans to create a quarry on designated green belt land near Selby in North Yorkshire have said the scheme would cause lasting damage.
Campaigners against the proposal, which would see 2.7m tonnes of limestone excavated over 19 years, say lasting damage would be caused to the communities of Hillam, Monk Fryston, Burton Salmon and Lumby. Documents submitted to North Yorkshire Council in support of the planning application state there would be "safe and suitable access" - to the site and the traffic generated would not have a severe impact on nearby roads.
