Following the Planning Application submitted last year Staffordshire County Council Planning Committee have today voted in favour of granting planning permission for a further 4.8 million tones of new sand and gravel reserves to extend our existing site at Hopwas/Hints in the West Midlands. This is a great start to the New Year and testament to all the hard work that has gone into our Aggregate Development Strategy ensuring replenishment and growth of our aggregate reserve base across the UK.
