The works will include modifications to the existing bulk store and the addition of dust extraction from the bulk store building. The proposed development will also involve the use of telescopic material handling equipment on the existing wharf at Belview to facilitate loading of the zinc and lead ore onto Ships, along with associated site works. A Natura Impact Statement will accompany this application.
