Wakefield Firm Gordon Harrison Ltd has submitted a Planning Application to Kirklees Council for permission to open cast mine land off Litherop Lane by the above colliery.
They hope to extract 200,000 tonnes of coal and 100,00 tonnes of clay over 2.5 years.
Depending on the quality of the coal, it will go to either Kellingley Colliery near Knottingley for blending or stright to Drax Power Station.
