Approvals update - Supporting applications
The Directors of Sirius Minerals Plc (AIM: SXX, OTCQX: SRUXY)
("Sirius" or the "Company") provide a procedural update on the
progress of two supporting planning applications for the York
Potash Project ("the Project").
An application by York Potash Ltd to Scarborough Borough Council
("SBC") for temporary construction accommodation and a park and
ride facility was submitted in February 2015. SBC planning officers
recommended approval of the application and members of the SBC
planning committee subsequently resolved to approve the application
subject to conditions at its meeting on 16 April 2015.
Chris Fraser, Managing Director and CEO of Sirius,
commented:
"We welcome the positive resolution from Scarborough Borough
Council for this important part of the wider Project and thank
councillors for their support."
An application by North Yorkshire County Council ("NYCC") was
submitted in January 2015 to the North York Moors National Park
Authority ("NYMNPA") to extend NYCC's existing Whitby park and ride
facility. The application is to allow alterations to the layout and
landscaping design of the facility and to accommodate additional
parking spaces (for the future York Potash workforce), as well as
revisions to site opening times to permit public use 365 days of
the year.
At a meeting on 16 April 2015, NYMNPA planning committee members
resolved to defer its decision on the application as it was
considered to be premature, pending the determination of the main
Project application.
Whilst important supporting applications in their own right, the
outcome of these applications has no bearing on the determination
of the applications for the main Project infrastructure (mine,
mineral transport system, materials handling facility and harbour
facilities).
