Planning permission will be sought to secure future of Grange Top quarry

We will be seeking planning permission to extend the life of Grange Top quarry for a further 25 years, to secure the long-term future of Ketton cement works.
Initial plans have been discussed with the site’s liaison committee and more detailed plans are now being prepared with the aim of submitting a planning application later this year or early in 2023.

Grange Top quarry has about 10 years of permitted limestone reserves left and a time extension to December 31, 2032, agreed by the county council in November 2021, will enable current permitted reserves to be worked.

Two areas in our ownership, known as Northwest Land and Field 14, have been identified as potential quarry extensions and will provide about a further 25 years of limestone and clays for the cement works.
