Our sources have informed us that planning consent is being sought for a new quarry between Parwich and Tissington. Geologists have confirmed that in this area limestone of particularly high quality is located, and early indications are that the planning authorities will be persuaded that this quarry will provide a much needed boost to the local economy. Local landowners were not available to comment, however, and it remains to be seen what impact this quarry will have on the competitive position of other quarries in the area.
Villagers are being urged to express their views, initially through this website, following which a co-ordinated submission to the planning authorities will be made.

Wonderful news!
The quarry will sit perfectly, next to the third runway for Heathrow application which was lodged with the PPPB this morning following the recent debarkle at Heathrow.
Sorry – had a debacle trying to spell debacle….
Such exciting news for Parwich! not only will it create 1000’s of jobs, but it means at last we can have a motorway cut through these boring hills linking us to the A515.
roll on the JCB’s!
Good but not as good as Spaghetti farms.
The Spaghetti farms clip was replayed this afternoon on R4 – I had forgotten how good it was – all done in a very proper clipped BBC tone, explaining how this year (whatever year that was??) was going to be a bumper crop, and how the farmers were waiting with baited breath to harvest at just the right moment.
They just don’t make em like that any more…..
