For the second time, Brett Aggregates has appealed the decision by Hertfordshire County Council to refuse plans for an eight million tonne sand and gravel quarry on the site of the former Hatfield Aerodrome. A planning inquiry is due to start on 19 November and is scheduled to last for 10 days.
The Planning Inspectorate refused the company’s previous application to quarry the site in 2022 – following a nine-day public inquiry – citing harm to the Green Belt, character, appearance and amenity of the area, as we have previously posted.
Herts County Council has described the latest application as being "substantially similar" to the first.
What is it about the answer NO that quarry companies don't understand?
