Judgment (397 paragraphs)
- The applicant presented its case on the basis that it has purchased a site, of which, in his submission, Mr Hale can say: " it is difficult to conceive of an area in which a quarry and landfill would be more in keeping with surrounding uses ". It is seeking to serve and expand its existing business as a quarrier, as a supplier of fill, roadbase, etc, and as a landfill operator. It has demonstrated that it knows its industry and markets well.
- The acquired site provides for an " enormous " buffer area making it " ideal " for the proposed development, particularly in an area planned for employment rather than residential use, and where the site will, as a consequence of the proposed development, be rehabilitated from its past use into an area of greater utility and amenity.
