George, according to this http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/nwh_gfx_en/ART33914.html

EH have just said -
"The minerals planning proposal from Tarmac Northern Ltd will have a clear and negative impact on nationally important archaeology. English Heritage believes that the archaeological evaluations have now adequately characterised the deposits within the Ladybridge Farm site and we have no hesitation in asserting that these deposits are of national importance, dating from the Neolithic period and related to the adjacent monument complex and its wider landscape."

and Tarmac has said -
""Using the same methodology and scoring system applied to finds at Stonehenge, our consultants and North Yorkshire County Council carried out separate assessments of the Ladybridge artefacts and agreed that they were not of national importance. News that English Heritage is maintaining its objection to our planning application is deeply disappointing, puzzling and flies in the face of the factual evidence"

On the face of it, that sounds like we could be hopeful. Can we?
The planning decision meeting on 21 Feb looks like it's going to be an amazing occasion....
