Monaghan Applicant Scotshouse Quarries Limited (T/A Monaghan Quarries) Relevant Permissions Quarry Registration Ref. Q/2005/3001 and Planning Ref. P.633/73 Purpose Planning compliance submission prepared in support of the Further Information response for Planning Ref. 26/60077 Date July 2026 Introduction 1.1. This Planning Compliance Submission has been prepared as part of the Further Information response for Planning Ref. 26/60077. Its purpose is to demonstrate, based on current site arrangements and available supporting records, how the conditions attached to Quarry Registration Ref. Q/2005/3001 are being complied with at the established quarry at Carrickanoran, Co. Monaghan. 1.2. Because Condition 8 of Quarry Registration Ref. Q/2005/3001 requires the quarry to operate in accordance with Planning Ref. P.633/73, the conditions attached to Planning Ref. P.633/73 are also addressed separately below. The submission focuses on compliance with existing permission and registration conditions, rather than reassessing the planning merits of the development. 1.3. This submission has been prepared on the basis of current site arrangements, available environmental monitoring records, site photographs, contractor records, supporting drawings and relevant correspondence with Monaghan County Council. The appendices referred to in this submission are provided separately as the Planning Compliance Submission Appendices. Where historic records are not available, the compliance position is identified having regard to the established and ongoing operation of the quarry, the current site arrangements and the information available at the time of submission. Planning History Relevant to this Compliance Submission 1.4. Planning Ref. P.633/73 granted permission in 1974 for office/office-related development at Carrickanoran, subject to conditions. Condition 1 required the ready-mix plant and processed concrete element to be omitted from that permission and to be the subject of a separate future application, if proposed. The permission forms the original planning basis referred to in the Section 261 quarry registration conditions. 1.5. The quarry was registered under Section 261 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, under Quarry Registration Ref. Q/2005/3001. The Section 261(6)(a)(ii) conditions dated 23 March 2007 established the quarry registration conditions applicable to the operation of the quarry, including requirements relating to the continued operation and management of the site. 1.6. This submission focuses on the established quarry operation and the Planning Authority request for information demonstrating compliance with the existing quarry registration and planning conditions.RECEIVED: 09/07/2026 Planning Compliance Submission Client: Monaghan Quarries Ref.

Results are expressed on a dry weight basis (dried at 35ºC) for all soil analyses except for the following: NRA and CEN Leach tests, flash point LOI, pH, ammonium as NH4 by the BRE method, VOC TICs and SVOC TICs. 2. If sufficient sample is received a sub sample will be retained free of charge for 15 days after analysis is completed (e-mailed) for all sample types unless the sample is destroyed on testing. The prepared soil sub sample that is analysed for asbestos will be retained for a period of 6 months after the analysis date. All bulk samples will be retained for a period of 6 months after the analysis date. All samples received and not scheduled will be disposed of 15 days after the date of receipt unless we are instructed to the contrary. Once the initial period has expired, a storage charge will be applied for each month or part thereof until the client cancels the request for sample storage. ALS reserve the right to charge for samples received and stored but not analysed. 3. With respect to turnaround, we will always endeavour to meet client requirements wherever possible, but turnaround times cannot be absolutely guaranteed due to so many variables beyond our control. 4. We take responsibility for any test performed by sub-contractors (marked with an asterisk). We endeavour to use UKAS/MCERTS Accredited Laboratories, who either complete a quality questionnaire or are audited by ourselves. For some determinands there are no UKAS/MCERTS Accredited Laboratories, in this instance a laboratory with a known track record will be utilised. 5. If no separate volatile sample is supplied by the client, or if a headspace or sediment is present in the volatile sample, the integrity of the data may be compromised. This will be flagged up as an invalid VOC on the test schedule and the result marked as deviating on the test certificate. 6. NDP - No determination possible due to insufficient/unsuitable sample. 7. Results relate only to the items tested. 8. LoDs (Limit of Detection) for wet tests reported on a dry weight basis are not corrected for moisture content. 9. Surrogate recoveries - Surrogates are added to your sample to monitor recovery of the test requested. A % recovery is reported, results are not corrected for the recovery measured. Typical recoveries for organics tests are 70-130%. Recoveries in soils are affected by organic rich or clay rich matrices. Waters can be affected by remediation fluids or high amounts of sediment. Test results are only ever reported if all of the associated quality checks pass; it is assumed that all recoveries outside of the values above are due to matrix affect. 10. Stones/debris are not routinely removed. We always endeavour to take a representative sub sample from the received sample. 11. In certain circumstances the method detection limit may be elevated due to the sample being outside the calibration range. Other factors that may contribute to this include possible interferences. In both cases the sample would be diluted which would cause the method detection limit to be raised. 12. For dried and crushed preparations of soils volatile loss may occur e.g volatile mercury. 13. For leachate preparations other than Zero Headspace Extraction (ZHE) volatile loss may occur. 14. For the BSEN 12457-3 two batch process to allow the cumulative release to be calculated, the volume of the leachate produced is measured and filtered for all tests. We therefore cannot carry out any unfiltered analysis. The tests affected include volatiles GCFID/GCMS and all subcontracted analysis. 15. Analysis and identification of specific compounds using GCFID is by retention time only, and we routinely calibrate and quantify for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzenes and xylenes (BTEX). For total volatiles in the C5-C12 range, the total area of the chromatogram is integrated and expressed as ug/kg or ug/l. Although this analysis is commonly used for the quantification of gasoline range organics (GRO), the system will also detect other compounds such as chlorinated solvents, and this may lead to a falsely high result with respect to hydrocarbons only. It is not possible to specifically identify these non-hydrocarbons, as standards are not routinely run for any other compounds, and for more definitive identification, volatiles by GCMS should be utilised. 16. We are accredited to MCERTS for sand, clay and loam/topsoil, or any of these materials - whether these are derived from naturally occurring soil profiles, or from fill/made ground, as long as these materials constitute the major part of the sample. Other coarse granular material such as concrete, gravel and brick are not accredited if they comprise the major part of the sample. 17 Data retention. All records, communications and reports pertaining to the analysis are archived for seven years from the date of issue of the final report. Identification of Asbestos in Bulk Materials & Soils The results for identification of asbestos in bulk materials and soils are obtained from supplied bulk materials andd soils which have been examined to determine the presence of asbestos fibres using ALS (Hawarden) in-house method of transmitted/polarised light microscopy and central stop dispersion staining, based on HSG 248 (2021). The results for identification of asbestos in soils are obtained from a homogenised sub sample which has been examined to determine the presence of asbestos fibres using ALS (Hawarden) in-house method of transmitted/polarised light microscopy and central stop dispersion staining. -Fibrous Tremolite -Fibrous Anthophyllite -Fibrous Actinolite Blue AsbestosCrocidolite Brown AsbestosAmosite White AsbestosChrysotile Common NameAsbestos Type -Fibrous Tremolite -Fibrous Anthophyllite -Fibrous Actinolite Blue AsbestosCrocidolite Brown AsbestosAmosite White AsbestosChrysotile Common NameAsbestos Type Visual Estimation Of Fibre Content Estimation of fibre content is not permitted as part of our UKAS accredited test other than: - Trace - Where only one or two asbestos fibres were identified. Respirable Fibres Respirable fibres are defined as fibres of <3 μm diameter, longer than 5 μm and with aspect ratios of at least 3:1 that can be inhaled into the lower regions of the lung and are generally acknowledged to be most important predictor of hazard and risk for cancers of the lung. Further guidance on typical asbestos fibre content of manufactured products can be found in HSG 264. The identification of asbestos containing materials and soils falls within our schedule of tests for which we hold UKAS accreditation, however opinions, interpretations and all other information contained in the report are outside the scope of UKAS accreditation. 19. Sample Deviations 20. Asbestos General 18. Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICs) are non-target peaks in VOC and SVOC analysis. All non-target peaks detected with a concentration above the LoD are subjected to a mass spectral library search. Non-target peaks with a library search confidence of >75% are reported based on the best mass spectral library match. When a non-target peak with a library search confidence of <75% is detected it is reported as “mixed hydrocarbons”. Non-target compounds identified from the scan data are semi-quantified relative to one of the deuterated internal standards, under the same chromatographic conditions as the target compounds. This result is reported as a semi-quantitative value and reported as Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICs). TICs are outside the scope of UKAS accreditation and are not moisture corrected. Container with Headspace provided for volatiles analysis Incorrect container received Deviation from method Sampled on date not provided Sample holding time exceeded in laboratory Sample holding time exceeded due to late arrival of instructions or samples 1 2 3 § ♦ @ If a sample is classed as deviated then the associated results may be compromised. When requested, the individual sub sample scheduled will be analysed in house for the presence of asbestos fibres and asbestos containing material by our documented in house method TM048 based on HSG 248 (2021), which is accredited to ISO17025. If a specific asbestos fibre type is not found this will be reported as “Not detected”. If no asbestos fibre types are found all will be reported as “Not detected” and the sub sample analysed deemed to be clear of asbestos. If an asbestos fibre type is found it will be reported as detected (for each fibre type found). Testing can be carried out on asbestos positive samples, but, due to Health and Safety considerations, may be replaced by alternative tests or reported as No Determination Possible (NDP). The quantity of asbestos present is not determined unless specifically requested. 4 Matrix interference 09:26:00 08/08/2024 08/08/2024Modification Date: Page 7 of 7 RECEIVED: 09/07/2026 Unit 7-8 Hawarden Business Park Manor Road (off Manor Lane) Hawarden Deeside CH5 3US Tel: (01244) 528777 email: hawardencustomerservices@alsglobal.com Website: www.alsenvironmental.co.uk QED Engineering ltd M-Tek Building 2 Armagh Road Monaghan Attention: Anthony Meehan CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS Anthony Location: Your Reference: Sample Delivery Group (SDG): Customer: Date of report Generation:08 August 2024 240801-83 Monaghan Quarries We received 1 sample on Thursday August 01, 2024 and 1 of these samples were scheduled for analysis which was completed on Thursday August 08, 2024.

ALS reserve the right to charge for samples received and stored but not analysed. 3. With respect to turnaround, we will always endeavour to meet client requirements wherever possible, but turnaround times cannot be absolutely guaranteed due to so many variables beyond our control. 4. We take responsibility for any test performed by sub-contractors (marked with an asterisk). We endeavour to use UKAS/MCERTS Accredited Laboratories, who either complete a quality questionnaire or are audited by ourselves. For some determinands there are no UKAS/MCERTS Accredited Laboratories, in this instance a laboratory with a known track record will be utilised. 5. If no separate volatile sample is supplied by the client, or if a headspace or sediment is present in the volatile sample, the integrity of the data may be compromised. This will be flagged up as an invalid VOC on the test schedule and the result marked as deviating on the test certificate. 6. NDP - No determination possible due to insufficient/unsuitable sample. 7. Results relate only to the items tested. 8. LoDs (Limit of Detection) for wet tests reported on a dry weight basis are not corrected for moisture content. 9. Surrogate recoveries - Surrogates are added to your sample to monitor recovery of the test requested. A % recovery is reported, results are not corrected for the recovery measured. Typical recoveries for organics tests are 70-130%. Recoveries in soils are affected by organic rich or clay rich matrices. Waters can be affected by remediation fluids or high amounts of sediment. Test results are only ever reported if all of the associated quality checks pass; it is assumed that all recoveries outside of the values above are due to matrix affect. 10. Stones/debris are not routinely removed. We always endeavour to take a representative sub sample from the received sample. 11. In certain circumstances the method detection limit may be elevated due to the sample being outside the calibration range. Other factors that may contribute to this include possible interferences. In both cases the sample would be diluted which would cause the method detection limit to be raised. 12. For dried and crushed preparations of soils volatile loss may occur e.g volatile mercury. 13. For leachate preparations other than Zero Headspace Extraction (ZHE) volatile loss may occur. 14. For the BSEN 12457-3 two batch process to allow the cumulative release to be calculated, the volume of the leachate produced is measured and filtered for all tests. We therefore cannot carry out any unfiltered analysis. The tests affected include volatiles GCFID/GCMS and all subcontracted analysis. 15. Analysis and identification of specific compounds using GCFID is by retention time only, and we routinely calibrate and quantify for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzenes and xylenes (BTEX). For total volatiles in the C5-C12 range, the total area of the chromatogram is integrated and expressed as ug/kg or ug/l. Although this analysis is commonly used for the quantification of gasoline range organics (GRO), the system will also detect other compounds such as chlorinated solvents, and this may lead to a falsely high result with respect to hydrocarbons only. It is not possible to specifically identify these non-hydrocarbons, as standards are not routinely run for any other compounds, and for more definitive identification, volatiles by GCMS should be utilised. 16. We are accredited to MCERTS for sand, clay and loam/topsoil, or any of these materials - whether these are derived from naturally occurring soil profiles, or from fill/made ground, as long as these materials constitute the major part of the sample. Other coarse granular material such as concrete, gravel and brick are not accredited if they comprise the major part of the sample. 17 Data retention. All records, communications and reports pertaining to the analysis are archived for seven years from the date of issue of the final report. Identification of Asbestos in Bulk Materials & Soils The results for identification of asbestos in bulk materials and soils are obtained from supplied bulk materials andd soils which have been examined to determine the presence of asbestos fibres using ALS (Hawarden) in-house method of transmitted/polarised light microscopy and central stop dispersion staining, based on HSG 248 (2021). The results for identification of asbestos in soils are obtained from a homogenised sub sample which has been examined to determine the presence of asbestos fibres using ALS (Hawarden) in-house method of transmitted/polarised light microscopy and central stop dispersion staining. -Fibrous Tremolite -Fibrous Anthophyllite -Fibrous Actinolite Blue AsbestosCrocidolite Brown AsbestosAmosite White AsbestosChrysotile Common NameAsbestos Type -Fibrous Tremolite -Fibrous Anthophyllite -Fibrous Actinolite Blue AsbestosCrocidolite Brown AsbestosAmosite White AsbestosChrysotile Common NameAsbestos Type Visual Estimation Of Fibre Content Estimation of fibre content is not permitted as part of our UKAS accredited test other than: - Trace - Where only one or two asbestos fibres were identified. Respirable Fibres Respirable fibres are defined as fibres of <3 μm diameter, longer than 5 μm and with aspect ratios of at least 3:1 that can be inhaled into the lower regions of the lung and are generally acknowledged to be most important predictor of hazard and risk for cancers of the lung. Further guidance on typical asbestos fibre content of manufactured products can be found in HSG 264. The identification of asbestos containing materials and soils falls within our schedule of tests for which we hold UKAS accreditation, however opinions, interpretations and all other information contained in the report are outside the scope of UKAS accreditation. 19. Sample Deviations 20. Asbestos General 18. Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICs) are non-target peaks in VOC and SVOC analysis. All non-target peaks detected with a concentration above the LoD are subjected to a mass spectral library search. Non-target peaks with a library search confidence of >75% are reported based on the best mass spectral library match. When a non-target peak with a library search confidence of <75% is detected it is reported as “mixed hydrocarbons”. Non-target compounds identified from the scan data are semi-quantified relative to one of the deuterated internal standards, under the same chromatographic conditions as the target compounds. This result is reported as a semi-quantitative value and reported as Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICs). TICs are outside the scope of UKAS accreditation and are not moisture corrected.

When requested, the individual sub sample scheduled will be analysed in house for the presence of asbestos fibres and asbestos containing material by our documented in house method TM048 based on HSG 248 (2021), which is accredited to ISO17025. If a specific asbestos fibre type is not found this will be reported as “Not detected”. If no asbestos fibre types are found all will be reported as “Not detected” and the sub sample analysed deemed to be clear of asbestos. If an asbestos fibre type is found it will be reported as detected (for each fibre type found). Testing can be carried out on asbestos positive samples, but, due to Health and Safety considerations, may be replaced by alternative tests or reported as No Determination Possible (NDP). The quantity of asbestos present is not determined unless specifically requested. 4 Matrix interference 11:38:26 08/08/2024 08/08/2024Modification Date: Page 11 of 11 RECEIVED: 09/07/2026 Unit 7-8 Hawarden Business Park Manor Road (off Manor Lane) Hawarden Deeside CH5 3US Tel: (01244) 528777 email: hawardencustomerservices@alsglobal.com Website: www.alsenvironmental.co.uk QED Engineering ltd M-Tek Building 2 Armagh Road Monaghan Attention: Anthony Meehan CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS Anthony Location: Your Reference: Sample Delivery Group (SDG): Customer: Date of report Generation:25 April 2025 250411-60 Monaghan Quarries We received 1 sample on Friday April 11, 2025 and 1 of these samples were scheduled for analysis which was completed on Friday April 25, 2025.

With respect to turnaround, we will always endeavour to meet client requirements wherever possible, but turnaround times cannot be absolutely guaranteed due to so many variables beyond our control. 4. We take responsibility for any test performed by sub-contractors (marked with an asterisk). We endeavour to use UKAS/MCERTS Accredited Laboratories, who either complete a quality questionnaire or are audited by ourselves. For some determinands there are no UKAS/MCERTS Accredited Laboratories, in this instance a laboratory with a known track record will be utilised. 5. If no separate volatile sample is supplied by the client, or if a headspace or sediment is present in the volatile sample, the integrity of the data may be compromised. This will be flagged up as an invalid VOC on the test schedule and the result marked as deviating on the test certificate. 6. NDP - No determination possible due to insufficient/unsuitable sample. 7. Results relate only to the items tested. 8. LoDs (Limit of Detection) for wet tests reported on a dry weight basis are not corrected for moisture content. 9. Surrogate recoveries - Surrogates are added to your sample to monitor recovery of the test requested. A % recovery is reported, results are not corrected for the recovery measured. Typical recoveries for organics tests are 70-130%. Recoveries in soils are affected by organic rich or clay rich matrices. Waters can be affected by remediation fluids or high amounts of sediment. Test results are only ever reported if all of the associated quality checks pass; it is assumed that all recoveries outside of the values above are due to matrix affect. 10. Stones/debris are not routinely removed. We always endeavour to take a representative sub sample from the received sample. 11. In certain circumstances the method detection limit may be elevated due to the sample being outside the calibration range. Other factors that may contribute to this include possible interferences. In both cases the sample would be diluted which would cause the method detection limit to be raised. 12. For dried and crushed preparations of soils volatile loss may occur - e.g volatile mercury. 13. For leachate preparations other than Zero Headspace Extraction (ZHE) volatile loss may occur. 14. For the BSEN 12457-3 two batch process to allow the cumulative release to be calculated, the volume of the leachate produced is measured and filtered for all tests. We therefore cannot carry out any unfiltered analysis. The tests affected include volatiles GCFID/GCMS and all subcontracted analysis. 15. Analysis and identification of specific compounds using GCFID is by retention time only, and we routinely calibrate and quantify for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzenes and xylenes (BTEX). For total volatiles in the C5-C12 range, the total area of the chromatogram is integrated and expressed as ug/kg or ug/l. Although this analysis is commonly used for the quantification of gasoline range organics (GRO), the system will also detect other compounds such as chlorinated solvents, and this may lead to a falsely high result with respect to hydrocarbons only. It is not possible to specifically identify these non-hydrocarbons, as standards are not routinely run for any other compounds, and for more definitive identification, volatiles by GCMS should be utilised. 16. We are accredited to MCERTS for sand, clay and loam/topsoil, or any of these materials - whether these are derived from naturally occurring soil profiles, or from fill/made ground, as long as these materials constitute the major part of the sample. Other coarse granular material such as concrete, gravel and brick are not accredited if they comprise the major part of the sample. 17 Data retention. All records, communications and reports pertaining to the analysis are archived for seven years from the date of issue of the final report. Identification of Asbestos in Bulk Materials & Soils The results for identification of asbestos in bulk materials and soils are obtained from supplied bulk materials and soils which have been examined to determine the presence of asbestos fibres using ALS (Hawarden) in-house method of transmitted/polarised light microscopy and central stop dispersion staining, based on HSG 248 (2021). The results for identification of asbestos in soils are obtained from a homogenised sub sample which has been examined to determine the presence of asbestos fibres using ALS (Hawarden) in-house method of transmitted/polarised light microscopy and central stop dispersion staining. -Fibrous Tremolite -Fibrous Anthophyllite -Fibrous Actinolite Blue AsbestosCrocidolite Brown AsbestosAmosite White AsbestosChrysotile Common NameAsbestos Type -Fibrous Tremolite -Fibrous Anthophyllite -Fibrous Actinolite Blue AsbestosCrocidolite Brown AsbestosAmosite White AsbestosChrysotile Common NameAsbestos Type Visual Estimation Of Fibre Content Estimation of fibre content is not permitted as part of our UKAS accredited test other than: - Trace - Where only one or two asbestos fibres were identified. Respirable Fibres Respirable fibres are defined as fibres of <3 μm diameter, longer than 5 μm and with aspect ratios of at least 3:1 that can be inhaled into the lower regions of the lung and are generally acknowledged to be most important predictor of hazard and risk for cancers of the lung. Potentially respirable fibres are identified by using a Phase Contrast Microscope. Further guidance on typical asbestos fibre content of manufactured products can be found in HSG 264. The identification of asbestos containing materials and soils falls within our schedule of tests for which we hold UKAS accreditation, however opinions, interpretations and all other information contained in the report are outside the scope of UKAS accreditation. 19. Sample Deviations 20. Asbestos General 18. Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICs) are non-target peaks in VOC and SVOC analysis. All non-target peaks detected with a concentration above the LoD are subjected to a mass spectral library search. Non-target peaks with a library search confidence of >75% are reported based on the best mass spectral library match. When a non-target peak with a library search confidence of <75% is detected it is reported as “mixed hydrocarbons”. Non-target compounds identified from the scan data are semi-quantified relative to one of the deuterated internal standards, under the same chromatographic conditions as the target compounds. This result is reported as a semi-quantitative value and reported as Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICs). TICs are outside the scope of UKAS accreditation and are not moisture corrected.

When requested, the individual sub sample scheduled will be analysed in house for the presence of asbestos fibres and asbestos containing material by our documented in house method TM048 based on HSG 248 (2021), which is accredited to ISO17025. If a specific asbestos fibre type is not found this will be reported as “Not detected”. If no asbestos fibre types are found all will be reported as “Not detected” and the sub sample analysed deemed to be clear of asbestos. If an asbestos fibre type is found it will be reported as detected (for each fibre type found). Testing can be carried out on asbestos positive samples, but, due to Health and Safety considerations, may be replaced by alternative tests or reported as No Determination Possible (NDP). The quantity of asbestos present is not determined unless specifically requested. 4 Matrix interference 21. 6:2 FTAB Recovery of 6:2 FTAB in the quality control samples has been observed to be <50% of the target value. Please note the 6:2 FTAB result is supplied as indicative only.

Results are expressed on a dry weight basis (dried at 35ºC) for all soil analyses except for the following: NRA and CEN Leach tests, flash point LOI, pH, ammonium as NH4 by the BRE method, VOC TICs and SVOC TICs. 2. If sufficient sample is received a sub sample will be retained free of charge for 15 days after analysis is completed (e-mailed) for all sample types unless the sample is destroyed on testing. The prepared soil sub sample that is analysed for asbestos will be retained for a period of 6 months after the analysis date. All bulk samples will be retained for a period of 6 months after the analysis date. All samples received and not scheduled will be disposed of 15 days after the date of receipt unless we are instructed to the contrary.
