MA1 - Aggregate supply

Provision will be made for the supply of around 24 million tonnes of primary aggregates, comprising 15 million tonnes of concreting aggregate and 9 million tonnes of soft sand between 2009 and 2026. Preferred areas will be identified, which together with permitted reserves will enable production of concreting aggregate at an average rate of 0.90 million tonnes per annum, and production of soft sand at an average rate of 0.50 million tonnes per annum in the period 2009-2026.

In determining proposals for mineral working, regard will be paid to the level of permitted reserves, and the need to maintain continuity of supply in terms of an appropriate landbank.
