The North Wales Minerals and Waste Planning Service, on behalf of Anglesey County Council broadly agreed with aspects such as ecology and biodiversity, visual impact, air quality, noise and vibration, labour and working conditions and human health.
Three areas over which there was no broad agreement comprise ground and surface water, cultural heritage and traffic and transportation.
Anglesey chief executive Rob Marsden added: “The permitting objective of Anglesey Mining remains unchanged, that is to make a planning application, that when enacted, will be seen to provide economic returns to investors, job opportunities, mitigation of the impacts to the environment and enhanced respect for, and appreciation of, the mining heritage of Parys Mountain, thus earning us a social licence to operate.”
