Croft Quarry is a strategic site for Aggregate Industries UK Limited. The Quarry is located on the Birmingham - Peterborough railway line. The Quarry has an active rail connection to facilitate our quarrying and restoration activities. The Quarry has a remaining life of 20y to complete mineral extraction and restoration via the importation of inert waste material via rail. Rail connection and freight capacity is essential in the implementation of our planning permission. We require capacity for 3-4 trains a day for the importation of inert restoration materials. Any loss in rail freight capacity due to the development of Hinckley Rail Freight Interchange will detrimentally impact our ability to fulfill our planning obligations and restoration. The new Hinckley Rail Freight Interchange should protect freight requirements of existing permitted development.
