Cadnant Planning Ltd has been commissioned by D. Meredith & Sons Ltd to undertake a pre-application consultation (PAC) in respect of proposed development at Aberllefenni Quarry, Aberllefenni, Pensarn, Machynlleth, SY20 9RU.


We give notice that D. Meredith & Sons Ltd is intending to apply for full planning permission for the extraction of slate from mineral working deposits and associated restoration, continued use of part of the former tip as a minerals processing area together with associated works.


Prior to formal submission to the Local Planning Authority and in accordance with the requirements set out in Part 1A of the Town & Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Wales) (Amendment) Order 2016, the proposal will be subject to pre-application consultation.

about this application

The proposal relates to the extraction of slate from mineral deposits in relation to the Valley Floor Tip and the Southern Tip. A total of 160,000 tonnes is to be removed over a period of 16 years (10,000 tonnes per annum), but with a capacity to export 250 tonnes a day over a 5.5-day week to supplement the supply of slate aggregate from the existing permitted reserves. It is proposed that the area be worked alongside the current operational areas whilst reserves are still available.
