1 Aggregates Supply

Planning permission for the extraction of proven economic mineral reserves will only be granted where it is necessary to ensure that adequate supplies are available to meet the county’s agreed apportionment of regional supply.

The County Council will seek to maintain an appropriate landbank of sand and gravel reserves in accordance with government guidance, throughout the Plan period, consistent with the above apportionment, to enable an appropriate contribution to be made to meet the region’s varying needs.
