  • Gateshead Local Plan
    Gateshead Local Plan Minerals – Areas of Search - Call for Sites/Areas Introduction Gateshead Council is undertaking a call for minerals exercise to inform its’ emerging Local Plan documents. The Local Plan includes the Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan for Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne, which was adopted in March 2015, and which includes a strategic policy on minerals (Policy CS20). More detailed policies and allocations, informed by this report and other evidence base work, will be included in Gateshead’s forthcoming Making Spaces for Growing Places document. Gateshead has a long association with mineral extraction which has influenced extensive parts of the areas topography, settlement pattern and environment. Minerals planning guidance states that Mineral Planning Authorities (MPAs) should use the best available information to identify the extent and location of mineral reserves in their areas. The Mineral Resource Information for Development Plans BGS/DETR, 2000 shows the extent of inferred mineral resources, which are those mineral resources that can be defined from available geological information. They have neither been evaluated by drilling or other sampling methods, nor had their technical properties characterised on any systematic basis. Mineral resources defined on the map delineate areas within which potentially workable minerals may occur. These areas are not of uniform potential nor do they take account of planning constraints which may limit their working. The economic potential of specific sites can only be proved by a detailed evaluation programme. Such an investigation is an essential precursor to submitting a planning application for mineral working (page 7). Sand and Gravel - All production of sand and gravel is derived from superficial or “drift” deposits comprising glacial sand and gravel and river sand and gravel.
