Looking at the satellite image shows the existing soil dump which has considerable raised the ground level in places particularly around the airport boundary. The screen shot shows the latest planning application to add 331,400 cubic metres to the areas shown which is next to the existing soil dump. This soil is coming from the big dig for the DART.
It might well be the case that this area will eventually become an apron rather than an unused valley.
