Policy 5

In furtherance of Policy 1, and in accordance with regional policy, the local planning authorities consider that aggregates demands in excess of those provided for under the terms of Policy 3 should be met by 

  1. the use wherever possible of secondary and recycled aggregates either produced in or imported into the county; and 
  2. importing (preferably by rail) sand and gravel and suitable alternative primary aggregates such as crushed rock and marine-dredged aggregates.
