By the looks of things the Thorborough campaign is coming to a pretty swift end. With the granting of the planning application yesterday, NYCC paved the way for Thornborough to become a fully fledged Preferred Area for Quarrying, and there are now four proposals by two quarry companies to quarry around 400 acres over the next 10-20 years.
Obviously these planning applications will have to be approved when the time comes, but I reckon Preferred Area status is now just a formality and with it most of the obstacles have been removed.
As I understand it, should Thornborough fail to become a significant tourism destination, even Thornborough Moor, the land that surrounds the henges will ultimately be open to quarrying.
Shame, I tried, I failed.
