There were more than 100 objections
A dormant sand and gravel quarry will be brought back into operation despite concerns from Northamptonshire villagers. The Husbands Bosworth quarry in Leicestershire shut down in November 2019 but will reopen in the face of over more than 100 objections.
Welford Road will bear the brunt of the additional traffic as the only access point to the quarry. The worst case scenario suggests trips to and from the quarry could total up to 300 a day but LCC planning officers said it is more likely to be in the region of 232 trips. A quarter of these are expected to travel through Welford, while the rest will travel northwards towards the A4304. Welford and Husbands Bosworth’s parish councils both raised concerns about increased traffic. West Northamptonshire Council did not make any objections to the scheme.
