Breach
The lorries straining up the track out of the quarry with full loads are contributing to the noise in the area. There is also a prominent dust/mud trail across the B4509 and airborne dust where the lorries are passing from one site entrance to the other. 
 
I believe this in breach of their current planning conditions:- 
 
"...no excavated materials shall leave the site except by the approved conveyor beneath the B4509." 
(Condition 14 of the current quarry planning permission)
