Public opposition against quarrying activity is not a local, and certainly not a recent phenomenon. In the case of Attica basin, Greece, this conflict had started almost thirty years ago. Until today any attempt to deal with the problem proved to be ineffective. This paper presents the case study of a quarry, located very close to residential areas of the wider Athens region, which was forced to cease its operation due to the repeated complaints of the residents. The analysis showed that the root causes of the problem were very different from the ones that have been initially brought forth. The main aim of the study has been the finding of win-win solutions, which could constitute the basis for consent between the public and the quarry developers.
