Kildare. The proposal includes for the extension of the extraction area into agricultural lands to the south with known quality reserves of sand and gravel. The extension will cover an area of 28.3 hectares (ha), with the overall application area covering 37.8 ha, the balance comprising continuance of use and restoration.
