Haar

- It was only in October that the Haar construction committee vehemently voted against the Mühlhauer crushing plant being allowed to gravel additional areas between Gronsdorf and Salmdorf and to build new storage and operating areas.

The committee members were united by concern about more truck traffic.

The committee has now given the gravel plant, which was established in 1959, consent on one point: it may, as requested, mine gravel on certain existing areas for four years longer, until the end of 2024, according to the unanimous decision.

The 2016 permit would have expired at the end of this year.

Archaeological investigations had so far prevented mining, and a permit under water law, which had also been applied for, could not come to anything by the end of the year.

Formally, there is also the fact that the extension does not violate the development plan.

However, Mühlhauser had also requested that the subsequent backfilling and recultivation last until 2030.

Neither town hall nor committee wanted to see a final phase twice as long as in the original approval.

They are requesting completion by the end of 2027. The approval authority is the Munich District Office in each case.

The examination of the two Mühlhauser expansion proposals will "still take some time," said a spokeswoman on request.

"We have the noise, Graefelfing the money"

Local councilor Peter Paul Gantzer (SPD) views developments on the Mühlhauser gravel plant with skepticism.

He sees the accumulation of applications from the company in recent years as a

salami tactic

, “in order to squeeze out new advantages”.

In a letter to Mayor Andreas Bukowski, he criticized the town hall chief with the words: "

I miss

a corresponding

resistance

from you." What Gantzer is particularly annoyed about: When asked whether the company pays trade tax to the community, he has no answer in the building committee received with reference to the tax secrecy.

According to Gantzer's own research

, the trade tax flows to

Graefelfing

, the headquarters of the group.

This is evidenced by documents from the group payment report for the financial year from April 2018 to the end of March 2019. Gantzer's conclusion: “We have the noise, dirt and traffic, the municipality of

Graefelfing has

the money.”
