Section 1: Introduction

Background

1.1 The Aggregates Working Parties1 (AWPs) were established in the 1970s to collect andmonitor data on aggregates provision as an aid to minerals planning. AWPs are joint localgovernment-central government-industry bodies that monitor the supply of, demand for, andreserves of, all aggregates including both primary aggregate and alternative sources in localauthority areas. They also consider the implications of supply to, and from, these areas.They are not policy-making bodies, but provide information to facilitate the work of MineralPlanning Authorities (MPAs), national government agencies and the minerals industry. Theyalso feed regional views to the Government through the national forum, the National Co-ordinating Group (NCG).

1.2 The AWPs operate under contracts between the Secretary of State for Communities andLocal Government and the Chairs of the AWPs, and receive funding from the Department toprepare papers, reports, and data collations as recommended by the NCG.

1.3 The East of England Aggregates Working Party (EEAWP) was established in2001. It comprises the former East Anglia MPAs (Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshireand Peterborough) and MPAs from the former South East (Essex, Southend-on-Sea,Thurrock, Hertfordshire, Central Bedfordshire, Bedford and Luton).

1.4 EEAWP is chaired by a Chief Planning Officer or Director from one of the MPAs.The 2013 Chairman was Andrew Cook, Director for Operations, Environment andEconomy at Essex County Council. The AWP is also serviced by a Technical

Secretary, who for 2013 was Susan Marsh Principal Planning Officer CentralBedfordshire Council. The membership of the East of England AWP for 2013 is setout in Appendix 1. The main matters that the East of England AWP considered at thetwo East of England AWP meetings held in 2013 are set out in Appendix 2.

Government Guidance

National and Regional Guidelines for Aggregates Provision 2009

1.5 In June 2009 the National and Regional guidelines for aggregates provision inEngland were revised (superseding those published in 2003). This stated that anestimated 236 million tonnes (mt) of land won sand and gravel will need to beprovided for in the East of England region during the 16 year period 2005-2020. Thisequates to 14.75 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), a reduction of 1.25mtpa reductionfrom the 2003 Guidelines. A copy of the 2009 Guidelines is available on theCommunities and Local Government (CLG) website:

http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/aggregatesprovision2020

1.6 The apportionment of the regional guidelines to sub-regional areas (MineralPlanning Authorities) within the East of England was the responsibility of theRegional Planning Board (RPB), with advice from the East of England AggregatesWorking Party including the Mineral Planning Authorities (MPAs). This Board wasabolished in 2009.The 2005-2020 Guidelines set out the sub-regional apportionmentfor each MPA.

1.7 Table 1 below sets out the average annual call on reserves of sand and graveland crushed rock in the East of England as set out in the sub-regionalapportionment.

The National Planning Policy Framework

1.8 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) came into force in March 2012.The NPPF is an important document that sets a presumption in favour of sustainabledevelopment and seeks to facilitate the sustainable use of minerals. It recognisesthat it is important that there is a sufficient supply of material to provide theinfrastructure, buildings, energy and goods that the country needs. It also recognisesthat minerals are a finite source which can only be worked where they are found.

1.9 The NPPF (Paragraph 145) requires Mineral Planning Authorities to plan for asteady and adequate supply of aggregates by:

Preparing a Local Aggregate Assessment based on a rolling average of 10year sales data and other relevant information, and an assessment of allsupply options (including marine, dredged, secondary and recycled sources).

Participating in the operation of an Aggregate Working Party and taking theadvice of that Party into account when preparing their Local AggregateAssessment;

Making provision for the land-won and other elements of their LocalAggregate Assessment in their mineral plans taking account of the advice ofthe Aggregate Working Parties and national Aggregate Co-ordinating groupas appropriate;

Taking account of published National and Sub National Guidelines on futureprovision which should be used as a guideline when planning for the futuredemand for and supply of aggregates;

Using landbanks of aggregate minerals reserves principally as an indicator ofthe security of aggregate minerals supply, and to indicate the additionalprovision that needs to be made for new aggregate extraction and alternativesupplies in mineral plans;

Making provision for the maintenance of landbanks of at least 7 years forsand and gravel and at least 10 years for crushed rock, whilst ensuring thatthe capacity of operations to supply a wide range of materials is notcompromised.

1.10 Paragraph 143 (bullet 2) of the NPPF specifically requires Local PlanningAuthorities, when preparing plans, to take account of the contribution that substituteor secondary and recycled materials and minerals waste would make to the supply ofmaterials, before considering the extraction of minerals, whilst aiming to sourceminerals supplies indigenously.

Guidance on the Managed Aggregate Supply System (MASS)

1.11 Guidance on the Managed Aggregate Supply System (2012) was cancelled andincorporated into the Planning Practice Guidance Suite launched in April 2014.

https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/local-planning

The new Planning Practice Guidance Suite still recognises the important role theAggregate Working Parties play in delivering a steady and adequate supply ofaggregates by producing fit for purpose and comprehensive data on aggregatescovering specific geographical areas. The guidance suite also recognises theimportant role AWPs play in providing advice to individual mineral planningauthorities and the National Aggregate Co-ordinating group.

Section 2: Aggregate Sales, Reserves and Landbanks

2.1 Data on land won aggregates and crushed rock reserves and sales together withinformation on recycled and secondary aggregates, marine aggregates and thecapacity of wharves and rail depots to handle aggregates has been derived from boththe Local Aggregate Assessments produced by the Mineral Planning Authoritieswithin the East of England and the annual survey returns.

Sand and gravel

2.2 Aggregate sand and gravel is found throughout the East of England and all theMPAs contribute towards the sub-national apportionment.

2.3 A list of existing active and inactive aggregate extraction sites is set out inAppendix 3.

Crushed rock

2.4 The crushed rock resource in the East of England is not of sufficiently high qualityfor it to be economic to transport any significant distance and is therefore not a trulyregional resource. However, it is a non-energy mineral that may be used insubstitution for aggregate in some situations depending on specification.Whilst the 2009 DCLG guidelines have resulted in the reduction in theCambridgeshire and Peterborough apportionment figure for Crushed Rock to200,000tpa; the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough MPAs intend to maintain alandbank based on an extraction rate of 300,000tpa (Cambridgeshire andPeterborough Minerals and Waste Core Strategy policy C56).

2.5 Norfolk intends to continue to maintain the 200,000 tpa crushed rockapportionment (Core Strategy and Minerals and Waste Development ManagementPolicies Development Plan Document 2010-2026).

Aggregate Sales

2.6 The table below and Figures 1 and 2 illustrate sales data of aggregate for MPA’sin the East of England. A full list of sales data for the 10 year period from 2004-2013is available in Appendix 4.

Section 3: Non-Energy Minerals3.1 DCLG requires data on sales and reserves of non energy minerals other thanaggregate sand gravel and crushed rock, to be included within the Annual MonitoringReport. This, it is assumed, only relates to minerals which potentially substitute foraggregate. In general terms this is likely to be chalk, building stone and clay.

Section 4: Secondary and Recycled Aggregates4.1 The NPPF specifically requires MPAs to take account of the contribution made bysubstitute, secondary and recycled aggregates before considering the extraction ofindigenous materials.

4.2 Secondary aggregates are produced as a by-product of other mining or quarryingactivities and may include china clay and slate waste. They can also be created as aby-product of industrial processes. These include incinerator bottom ash and blastfurnace slag.

4.3 Recycled aggregates comprise materials produced by the recycling ofconstruction and demolition waste and include crushed concrete, bricks, glass,asphalt planings and spent rail ballast.

4.4 Even though these materials play an increasingly important role as a substitutefor primary aggregates it is difficult to obtain accurate figures of the volumesproduced.

Location of Recycling Facilities

4.5 The locations of authorised recycling facilities throughout the East of England areset out in Appendix 7.

Section 5: Road Planings arisings

5.1 DCLG requires information on road planing arisings. The Highway Authorities foreach MPA are likely to hold data on the volumes and tonnages of road planingsproduced in 2013. The following table states road planing arisings in 2013.

Tonnage of Road Planing Arisings produced in East of England 2013

Section 6: Imports and Exports between AWP Areas

6.1 DCLG requires the Annual Monitoring Report to include data on imports andexports between AWP areas. This will focus on wharves and railhead facilities.

Imports

6.2 In 2013 the East of England imported over 1.4 million tonnes of aggregate (sandand gravel and crushed rock) via aggregate rail depots and wharfs from:

the Channel,

East Midlands,

South West

East Midlands

Europe.

6.3 It is likely the 1.4 million tonnes reported above is a significant under-representation caused by an incomplete set of returns and the fact that aggregates

may have been imported via road. The AMR is unable to state the tonnages importedfrom each area for confidentiality reasons.

Exports

6.4 In 2013 the EEAWP area exported over 264,000 tonnes of aggregate toauthorities outside the East of England via rail. This figure is likely to demonstrate anunder-representation due to an incomplete set of survey returns being submitted.

6.5 Appendix 8 sets out the locations of Rail Depots and Wharves in the East ofEngland in 2013.

Section 7: Major Construction Projects

7.1 DCLG requires the Annual Monitoring Report to include information on majorconstruction projects within the East of England.

7.2 The table below sets out those construction projects that have been identified inthe East of England as commencing or on-going in 2013.

Section 8: Major Trends and Events

East of England

8.1 The sales of sand and gravel in the East of England during 2013 was 9.6 milliontonnes (mt). This represents an 11% increase in the levels of sales experienced in2012 but a 32% drop since 2004.

8.2 Permitted reserves of sand and gravel within the East of England at the end of2013 stood at 147mt. This represents a 0.6% decrease since 2012. Using theapportionment figure derived from the National and Regional Guidelines 2005-2020the landbank for the East of England now stands at 10 years.

8.3 The distribution of permitted reserves for sand and gravel between MPA’s asshown in Figure 3 remains broadly comparable with recent years. Cambridgeshireand Peterborough have increased their reserve proportion by 2%, while Norfolk andEssex have decreased their proportion by 1% since 2012.

8.4 In terms of the level of new aggregate permissions in the East of England a totalof 4.3 million tonnes of sand and gravel was approved during 2013 whilst 1.4 tonneswas refused. The large increase was mainly due to permission being granted for theextraction of 2,250,000 tonnes of sand and gravel from a site inCambridgeshire/Peterborough. Further details on aggregate applications determinedwithin the region are available within Appendix 6.

8.5. Within the East of England AWP area it is proposed to make provision for14.75mta land won sand and gravel and 0.4mta crushed rock based on sub-nationalapportionment figures which are still be applied in every authority except one(Norfolk). The MPAs have already planned for sufficient reserves to meet thesefigures on this basis through the forward planning process. By applying the 10 yearsales average for Norfolk this would reduce the proposed provision down to14.67mta for land won sand and gravel. The permitted reserves in the East ofEngland at the end of 2013 would enable these figures to be achieved for 10 yearsland won sand and gravel and between 9.2 years (carstone) and 18.8 years(limestone) for crushed rock.

8.6 The provision of 14.67mtpa for land-won sand and gravel is in excess of the 10year sales average (between 2004-2013) of 11.26Mt. The 10 year average sales forcrushed rock are 0.378mta which is slightly lower than the apportionment figure.Overall there is a healthy landbank of permitted aggregate reserves in the East ofEngland. EEAWP can, therefore, advise the National Coordinating Group that theregion is proposing to make a full contribution to both national and local aggregateneeds.

12

Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire and Luton

8.7 The aggregate sand and gravel sales for Bedford, Central Bedfordshire andLuton have increased by 4.8% since 2012. The 10 year sales average in the areanow stands at 1.3mt. Reserves of sand and gravel in the area have seen a 0.1%increase over the previous year which results in a landbank of 11.8 years.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

8.8 In Cambridgeshire and Peterborough sales of sand and gravel have increased to1.837mt which is 3% greater than those previously experienced in 2012. Aggregatesand and gravel reserves for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have increased by3.9 since 2012. This is mainly due to a new permission being issued for theextraction of 2.25mt of sand and gravel at land to the west of Willowhall lane. Basedon the available figures the landbank is 17 years.

8.9 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is also required to meet an apportionment forthe production of crushed rock, namely limestone. Sales information pertaining tocrushed rock in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough has been collated with sales inNorfolk for confidentiality reasons.

8.10 Reserves of limestone from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have decreasedby 1.6% since the previous year to 3.8mt which results in a landbank of 18.8 years (ifthe apportionment figure is used) or 12.6 years based on figures contained in theadopted Minerals and Waste Core Strategy.

Essex, Thurrock and Southend-on-Sea

8.11 The sales of sand and gravel for the Essex area have seen a 38.3% increasesince 2012. The 10 year sales average from the Essex area equates to 3.4mt.Reserves within Essex for 2012 have had a decrease of 7.4% over those recordedfor the previous year. The landbank for sand and gravel in the Essex area nowstands at 7.4 years.

Hertfordshire

8.12 Sales of sand and gravel in Hertfordshire during 2013 have increased by 0.43%since 2012 which results in a 10 year sales average of 1,1mt. The reserves of sandand gravel in the area have seen a small increase of 3% since the previous year andnow stand at 16.26 Mt. This represents a small increase over what was recorded in2012. The landbank for sand and gravel in Hertfordshire 2013 now stands at 11.7years.

Norfolk

8.13 Within Norfolk the sales of sand and gravel have decreased by 1.4% since 2012to 1.11mt. The level of reserves for Norfolk currently stands at 13.3mt which is an8.4% decrease on the previous year. The landbank for sand and gravel in 2013 isnow 5.2 years.

8.14 Norfolk is also required to meet an apportionment for crushed rock, namelycarstone, in addition to that for sand and gravel. The sales of Norfolk carstone and

13

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough crushed rock for 2013 were recorded as 0.354mttonnes. This equates to a 67,000 tonne increase since 2012.

Suffolk

8.15 Sales of sand and gravel for Suffolk in 2013 were recorded as 1.06mt whichrepresents a 2.5% decrease from the previous year. Reserves of sand and gravel inthe area have seen a 4.6% increase on the previous year’s figures and now stand at13.7mt*. This results in a landbank for sand and gravel of 8.5 years.

8.16 *Please note the 2012 AMR reports a reserve figure of 14mt. This was an errorand included additional mineral which was released when the sand and gravel Flixtonextension which was permitted in March 2013.

Appendix 5: Aggregate Sand and Gravel reserves in the East of England (2004-2013)

4This figure is taken from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough LAA (published Dec 2013) and is higher than the final figure reported in the EEAWP collation

form for 2012.

5The 2012 collation form included an extension to a site which was not permitted until 2013. This explains the reason for a higher reserves figure reported in the

2012 report.
