Planning permission has been granted for a new sand and gravel extraction site in Carbury.
Kilsaran Concrete, trading as Kilsaran Build, applied for permission for extraction on 17 hectare site, in two phases, with an 8 year operational period.
Extraction phase 1 will focus on a 4.9 hectare portion of the site, and extraction phase 2 will move to a separate 4.3 hectare tract of the site.
Kilsaran says "The remaining c. 7.8 hectares will consist of the processing area, a stockpile area, and overburden storage area and buffer zones"
It adds "Restoration of the site lands will be to a beneficial agricultural after-use."
Kildare County Council has approved the project.
