Story
As you will all know, the first stage of the battle against the endless expansion plans of Hanson and AI was lost. But they have put in 4 Applications to quarry again at Westdown which has 160m tons of proven reserves… This is a MASSIVE INDUSTRIAL PROPOSAL. All material would have to leave by road. And they plan to dump all stripped material in Asham Void.. the area of Asham Wood that should NEVER have been quarried. This is a BIG DEAL. The rest of our lives will be blighted here if these applications are approved. Many of you have already donated money direct. But if you prefer to donate here, ANONYMOUSLY if you wish, that would be great. Please help by donating whatever you can to pay the legal costs of continuing the fight.

1 year agoHeidelberg Materials have produced a revised scheme of working.. keeping all the oolite within Westdown (not dumping it in Asham). They have requested that the Asham application SCC/3837/2021 is held in abeyance. However, there are still massive reasons to object to the quarrying of Westdown Farm.. Biodiversity, Habitat loss, Carbon emission, cumulative effects of quarrying what would be 4 quarries concurrently.
