The community of Haar strictly rejects the expansion of the Mühlhauser gravel plant with additional operating and storage space.
The building committee decided unanimously.
Haar
- The
local council of Haar
had already
refused
the dredging of additional areas between the villages of
Salmdorf
and
Gronsdorf
two weeks earlier
, now the
building committee is
against expanding the plant to include storage and operating areas “, Said Ulrich Leiner (Greens).
Gravel is a natural raw material from the region, the
Munich gravel plain
, admitted Leiner.
"But we reject this gravel works at this point."
Gronsdorf gravel plant: The approval authority is the district office
The approval authority is, however, the
district office.
Which is why the municipality asks the higher authority to
reject
the applications of the
Mühlhauser
crushing plant.
And at least in the case of the additional operating and storage space, Haar sees itself in a good legal position, because this is not provided for in the development plan and affects municipal planning sovereignty.
Because of the traffic load, many residents of Haar want the gravel mining and processing there on Leonhard-Strell-Strasse to come to an end after 60 years and the areas to be renatured.
Bürgrmeister Bukowski sees the main problem in the traffic load
Mayor Andreas Bukowski (CSU) sees the main problem in the traffic load from the gravel trucks, since there is no factory road.
Gravel as a raw material is actually needed, and when the crushing plant moved to Haar in 1959/60, it was initially well suffered.
The community does not want to be considered anti-trade, he warned.
Bukowski tries to negotiate with the management of the plant and District Administrator Christoph Göbel to find a solution to the traffic problem.
To be fair, one has to say that the company sweeps the streets regularly, as stipulated by the regulations.
Peter Schiessl (SPD) would like to have clarified once again which conditions the district office has imposed on the gravel plant, whether these are adhered to and what the control looks like.
With regard to the requested expansion of the crushing plant to include additional operating and storage areas, the municipality takes the position that this contradicts the stipulations of the development plan and is therefore not permitted under planning law.
Raw materials are to be transported and temporarily stored
In addition, this expansion would not serve to process the raw materials dredged directly at the site.
The application documents clearly show that almost exclusively purchased raw materials should be stored on the additional areas before they are further processed.
In other words, raw material is first delivered, temporarily stored, processed and then transported away again.
Which would mean even more traffic.
The municipality argues that additional expansion and storage areas are inadmissible "because work is to be carried out primarily or exclusively with purchased raw materials, ie raw materials not obtained within the development plan area".
The crushing plant has also applied for the construction of a new dust extraction system.
For which the municipality also refuses to give its consent.
Unless the company states unequivocally that this will not involve any expansion of the operating areas or operating hours.
Now it's the district office's turn.
