Please scroll down for large 'English Nature' Map of the area

Map appears with kind permission of English Nature. All coloured areas are SSSI with the quarry site in grey

Note that the Olive / Dark Green section ( the wooded area on the slope up to the proposed quarry ) is shown as Condition ' Unfavourable Recovering'

...and the River Valley at lower right of picture is Orange = Condition ' Unfavourable No Change '

The most vulnerable sections are nearest to the quarry site, and they are already vulnerable BEFORE they get a daily dousing with quarry dust !
