North Lanarkshire is considering an EIA-screening application for a separate excavation area at Tams Loup Quarry on Hirst Road, Harthill.
What is proposed
The council record describes a new access haul route, drilling and blasting of hard rock, excavation and loading, and transport of the extracted material to Tams Loup Quarry for processing through the existing quarry infrastructure.
That combination makes this a proposal worth following: it concerns extraction activity and the movement of material, not simply a change to an existing building.
What the record does not yet establish
The current source does not give a quantity of rock, the proposed operating period, blasting schedule, traffic detail or environmental findings. Bounded research matched the official reference but returned no linked application documents. It also does not establish whether a full Environmental Impact Assessment will be required.
The application was received and validated on 3 September 2026 and is marked Pending Consideration. It is a proposal, not an approval; no decision is recorded in the current evidence.
