OUR VISION
Combining a mix of eco-friendly accommodation and exciting leisure activities, our vision for Amber Rock will restore the old quarry set within this beautiful rural backdrop, preserve its heritage, and boost the local economy.

CONSIDERATIONS
Being residents in the local area, we want to give you an insight into the work we’re doing as part of our proposed site restoration to guarantee we reduce any impact on your lives during or after development
Our expert consultants are currently carrying out surveys to assess any potential environmental impact, noise, dust, ecology, heritage and climate change – allowing us to tailor our approach to development and construction accordingly for the most positive outcome.
We’ve already completed a detailed traffic assessment with positive learnings integrated into our design phase, including introducing a number of operational initiatives to further mitigate any potential concerns.
Amber Rock’s diverse facilities will actively encourage longer stays to reduce the number of day trips, while specific check-in/check-out times will be applied to reduce effects of peak traffic flow. We’ll also arrange various shuttle buses to transport guests to local attractions.
Our vision is also about restoring this beautiful setting. Carefully designed to blend into the stunning rural landscape, and to be constructed using locally sourced and sustainable materials where possible, it will deliver minimal visual impact beyond the quarry.
The initial public consultation is now closed
Thank you to everyone who submitted responses.
We will now analyse and consider all feedback received during the pre application consultation period.
Following the end of the consultation period we will soon be submitting the outline planning application, after which there will be opportunities to give additional feedback.
