December 2025: GRUNDON - CHIEVELEY QUARRY
Recently, Chieveley Parish Council received a presentation from Grundon representatives on their plans for excavation work on land they call ‘Chieveley Quarry’. West Berkshire Council has already allocated this land for sand and gravel extraction, despite objections from Chieveley Parish Council.
The affected land is the 29-acre field behind Chieveley Services. Byway 49 borders this land and footpath CHIE 37/1 crosses it. The work is expected to last around 10 years. All details can be found in the online public consultation [www.chieveleyquarry.co.uk]. You are encouraged to visit the website and be aware of the proposals.
The Parish Council will alert residents via local village websites when Grundon applies for planning permission (probably late 2025/early 2026), so you can submit your comments. The Parish Council will continue to monitor the plans and seek clarification where necessary. We are in the process of securing a TPO (tree preservation order) on the large oak tree in the field. In the meantime, West Berkshire Council has issued a temporary TPO.
The Parish Council will, of course, respond to the planning application.
