What are the immediate consequences of approving or rejecting Tarmac Trading Ltd.'s application to reopen Burley Hill Quarry in the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB?

Tarmac Trading Ltd. seeks a 15-year extension to operate Burley Hill Quarry in an AONB, prompting strong opposition from local councils, residents, and environmental groups due to concerns about noise, traffic, and environmental damage.
