Victory for Yaldhurst residents in $100,000 quarry battle
A small band of residents who spent more than $100,000 fighting plans for a new quarry on the outskirts of Christchurch are celebrating after a court upheld a decision to stop it going ahead.
The High Court backed an earlier decision by the Environment Court to deny Harewood Gravels permission to develop a 28-hectare site in Yaldhurst near Christchurch Airport.
Jubilant residents say they are "relieved and grateful" for the decision, and hope it will bring their three-and-a-half year battle against the quarry to a close.
But Harewood Gravels director Murray Francis says the decision is "by no means the end of the line for us".
