Balmullo Quarry - Public Consultation

Introduction

Breedon Trading Limited is preparing a planning application to develop Balmullo Quarry, located near Leuchars, Fife.

Before submitting the planning application, Breedon is undertaking a pre-application consultation exercise to engage with the public on these proposals. 

The objective of the consultation process is to inform communities about our development proposals and, importantly, to provide an opportunity for the community to communicate their views on the proposed development prior to the submission of a formal planning application to Fife Council.

Please note that any representation or comment made at this stage is for Breedon’s consideration only and is not regarded as a formal representation to the Council as planning authority on any future planning application. There will be an opportunity to make a formal representation to the Council once an application has been submitted.

For further enquiries, please e-mail scot-planning@breedongroup.com.

The deadline for submitting comments to Breedon is 30 April 2024


The proposed development comprises the following key components:

  • A lateral extension to the mineral extraction operations to the west and north west of the existing quarry;
  • Retention of existing processing plant and stocking area within the existing quarry footprint:
  • Early restoration of the upper, more visible historic quarry faces and benches

Further details about the development proposals can be found on the exhibition boards, available to download from the ‘Documents’ tab below. 

Breedon will hold two public events in Balmullo village to present our proposals for the future development of Balmullo Quarry, answer questions which members of the community have and consider feedback from the community on these proposals.

The details of the public events are as follows:

Where:    Burnside Hall, Burnside, Balmullo, KY16 0AW

When:

  • Wednesday 21 February 2024 between 4pm and 8pm
  • Wednesday 20 March 2024 between 4pm and 8pm
     

The public events will be available for any interested party or members of the community to drop in.  Exhibition boards will display details of the development proposal and members of the project team will be available to discuss the proposal in detail.
