Banavie Quarry is operated by Breedon Aggregates. Planning permission for continued operations at Banavie Quarry was granted in April 2004 subject to the establishment of a liaison group to address issues associated with the impact of quarry operations on the local community.
The liaison group is chaired by the company area director and includes three nominated near-neighbours, a representative of the Kilmallie community council, the local planning officer, the local area roads engineer, the company production manager and the local Councillor. The group meets 3-4 times per year. Discussions include planning condition compliance, reviewing quarry developments, future workload, environmental matters, received complaints and actions taken.
An ongoing issue has been road safety on the quarry access road and the group has agreed a code of practice for HGV drivers and continues to monitor the situation. All complaints from local residents regarding noise or dust are also discussed by the group. The group has also addressed issues with lighting and notification to neighbours of blasting.
If you have any concerns related to the operation of the quarry please contact a member of the group. If you are experiencing higher than usual noise levels or dust then please also contact the quarry as soon as possible so that the problem can be investigated.
The current members of the group are:-
Bob Gordon –Support Services Director, Breedon Aggregates (Chair of the Liaison Committee)
Neil Forbes – Regional Director, Breedon Aggregates
Colin Morison – Regional Production Manager, Breedon Aggregates
Andy Sutherland – Area Quarry Manager, Breedon Aggregates
Ronnie Maclean – Resident
Gerald McIntyre – Resident
Russell Leaper – Resident/Kilmallie Community Council
Councillor Bill Clark
