Minerals Edition 2, March 2014 Wrexham County Borough Council Local Development Plan 2013 - 2028 Topic Paper: 5 Minerals Edition 2, March 2014 Department of Community Wellbeing and Development Planning Policy 16 Lord Street Wrexham LL11 1LG 1 Introduction Purpose of this document 1.1 This is one of a series of 10 topic papers which have been put together to inform the Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report for the Wrexham Local Development Plan (LDP). The 10 topic papers are; 1. Natural Environment 2. Built and Historic Environment 3. Health, Recreation and Wellbeing 4. Waste 5. Minerals 6. Economy, Retail & Employment 7. Population (and housing) 8. Infrastructure 9. Climate Change & Energy 10. Transport 1.2 Each topic paper provides a summary of the evidence base reviewed for the Sustainability Appraisal and Local Development Plan. They establish a baseline position and identify the key issues facing the County Borough which the LDP will need to address. 1.3 By combining the evidence gathering stages for both the Sustainability Appraisal and Local Development Plan, we aim to streamline the documentation produced and avoid duplication. It will also help to ensure that sustainable development is embedded in the planning process and that sustainability appraisal is one of the main drivers informing the preparation of the Local Development Plan. 1.4 Each topic paper has been designed to cover broad individual topic areas to make the presentation of data accessible to readers, but, inevitably it is difficult to separate and group individual topics as there is a degree of overlap. Consequently, in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issues facing the County Borough, reference should be made to all of the Topic Papers. To aid this, the reader is signposted to other papers where necessary throughout this paper. Page 1 of 14 Version 2: Feb 2014 2 Key Plans, Policies & Strategies Reviewed 2.1 This section ensures that the relationship between the Local Development Plan and other relevant plans and programmes is taken into account. This involves research and analysis of policy context to reveal any relevant environmental protection measures and obligations; it will also reveal any objectives relating to sustainability issues. 2.2 This paper and the SA process will help demonstrate that policy integration has been achieved, that the relevant obligations and objectives of other strategies are embedded in the LDP. Taking account of these objectives in formulating and delivering the LDP is at the heart of spatial planning. 2.3 The focus is on the most relevant published plans and strategies, to draw out their key messages for the Sustainability Appraisal and Local Development Plan process. To avoid repetition, where the requirements of international plans programmes, policies, strategies and initiatives are translated into national, regional and local policies they have not been duplicated. 2.4 The full list of documents reviewed is contained in the Scoping Report Appendix 2 tables 2-5. The following is a summary of the key documents and key issues arising from them in relation to minerals. Cross cutting evidence 2.5 There are a number of plans, programmes, policies, strategies and initiatives which are of relevance to a number of different land uses, including minerals. Whilst of relevance, these are not discussed below in detail because they are discussed elsewhere in other topic papers. Minerals Planning Policy Wales (2001) 2.6 Minerals Planning Policy Wales introduces the requirement for the LDP to contribute towards meeting the local, regional and UK needs for minerals, to safeguard mineral deposits which society may need for future working, address inactive sites, and ensure the impact of mineral extraction on the environment and alternative land uses is minimised. Local authorities are required to “provide positively for the working of mineral resources to meet society’s needs through as far as practicable, the identification of areas for future working where this can be undertaken in a sustainable way; and to safeguard deposits of minerals from permanent development that would prevent or hinder their subsequent extraction for future generations” Paragraph 17 of MPPW recognises that in most areas there is likely to be a need to adopt a regional approach to base a land bank policy. This regional approach is taken forward in the Regional Technical Statement produced by the North Wales Regional Aggregates Working Group. 2.7 In relation to coal, MPPW states that “the objective of the Government’s central energy policy is to ensure a secure, diverse and sustainable supply of Page 2 of 14 Version 2: Feb 2014 energy at competitive prices”. Although national energy policy has been revised since the publication of MPPW, the aim to ensure a secure and affordable supply of energy remains1. The ability to ensure security of supply through the recovery of remaining UK coal reserves is recognised as a way of helping the UK achieve this aim2 . Minerals Technical Advice Note 1: Aggregates (2004) 2.8 Minerals Technical Advice Note (MTAN) 1: Aggregates sets out detailed advice on aggregates, such as limestone, sand and gravel. Paragraph 49 requires a minimum 10 year land bank of crushed rock and minimum 7 year for sand and gravel to be maintained throughout the LDP period. Where a land bank can provide for over 20 years of extraction, new allocations will not be necessary and proposals for further extraction should not be permitted apart from in exceptional circumstances. 2.9 In order to reduce the impact of aggregate production, local authorities are required to identify buffer zones around permitted and allocated mineral extraction sites (in line with Minerals Planning Policy Wales). MTAN 1 identifies the minimum distance that should be maintained for sand and gravel (100m) and hard rock quarries (200m). Minerals Technical Advice Note 2: Coal (2009) 2.10 Minerals Technical Advice Note (MTAN) 2: Coal, requires local authorities to direct coal working away from sensitive locations and indicate those areas where coal should not be worked. Buffer zones around existing and proposed coal working sites and areas to be safeguarded should be shown. The MTAN sets out that where coal working would destroy or degrade mature landscapes, ancient woodlands, important hedgerows or vulnerable trees it should only be permitted if reclamation benefits outweigh the demonstrable harm of working a site. There is no forecast of need or landbank of permitted reserves for coal, as there is for aggregates. North Wales Regional Technical Statement (2009) 2.11 The North Wales Regional Technical Statement (RTS) was produced in line with the requirements of Minerals Technical Advice Note 1: Aggregates, which requires local authorities to jointly produce and agree a Regional Technical Statement. Local authorities are required to include in their Development Plans the elements of the agreed Regional Technical Statement which are relevant to its area. 2.12 The North Wales Regional Technical Statement (RTS), which was published in 2009, advises that no sand and gravel allocation is required in Wrexham due to the current land bank. The Regional Technical Statement advised that there appears to be a case to investigate the possibility of 1 Energy White Paper 2007: Meeting the energy challenge; the Electricity Market Reform White Paper 2011 and Energy Wales: A Low Carbon Transition (March 2012) 2 Energy White Paper 2007: Meeting the energy Page 3 of 14 Version 2: Feb 2014 making a small allocation for rock in Wrexham, and, in the event that no environmentally acceptable areas can be identified, to consider jointly with Flintshire and Denbighshire, whether provision to meet the requirements on North East Wales can be met from outside Wrexham. The North Wales RTS is currently being reviewed. Key Messages from the Review of Plans, Policies & Strategies 2.13 A number of key messages and issues were drawn from the evidence review. The table below illustrates the messages and issues deemed most relevant and source document. Message/Issue Source Document Ensure a sustainable supply of minerals is maintained over the life of the LDP (Minerals Planning Policy Wales, Minerals Technical Advice Note 1: Aggregates, Minerals Technical Advice Note 2: Coal, Regional Technical Statement) Maintain a 10 year landbank of crushed rock and 7 years for sand and gravel. (Minerals Technical Advice Note 1: Aggregates North Wales Regional Technical Statement) A need to ensure a secure, diverse and sustainable supply of energy at competitive prices. UK coal can contribute towards this aim, though there is no forecast of need. (Energy White Paper 2007: Meeting the energy challenge (2007) Department of Trade and Industry, Electricity Market Reform White Paper (2011) Department of Energy and Climate Change, Minerals Planning Policy Wales Minerals Technical Advice Note 2: Coal) Local Planning Authorities should identify areas where coal working is not acceptable (MTAN 2: Coal) There are significant parts of the County Borough which may be affected by coal mining legacy issues (The Coal Authority Planning Policy Objectives (2012) and accompanying maps) Safeguard resources from sterilisation (Minerals Planning Policy Wales Minerals Technical Advice Note 1: Aggregates, Minerals Technical Advice Note 2: Coal, Regional Technical Statement) Make clear where mineral extraction should, or is most likely, to take place.

  • I Am a Glass Artist Living and Working in North Wales. I Studied Applied Art/Architectural Glass at N.E.W.I and Gained a 1St Class Hons
    Llanerch, Village Rd, Eryrys, Denbighshire, CH74BX [email protected] www.veritypulford.com 07452840331 07452840331 I am a Glass Artist living and working in North Wales. I studied Applied Art/Architectural Glass at N.E.W.I and gained a 1st Class Hons. Degree. My work is inspired by the landscape around me, the forests, mountains, skies and also the small details- the shapes and textures of lichen, moss, ferns, trees leaves and the dappled light coming though them. Wales is a wild, raw and rich landscape which my soul feels deeply connected to. I want to try to capture this in my work- my way of seeing. I am fascinated by the ever changing light and the magical qualities this gives the plants and trees within the landscape. My ACW Research and Development grant has allowed me to develop and further my practice by researching, drawing and creating experimental glass work concerned with investigating the visual and physical correlation between micro-structures within plant and human biology in collaboration with Bangor University’s Herbarium, Walton Centre’s Neuroscience Laboratories and mentor Glass Artist- Rhian Haf. The combination of these ambiguous and fascinating structures which can describe human and plant forms, bringing together all of life- from the smallest neuron to the structure of algae, to trees, to river beds. By blending forms and elevating these and focusing on their beauty, their mystical similarities I feel I am communicating the spirituality which nature gives me, the forms, the colours, the beauty and the light. I have been commissioned to make several public and private art pieces including artwork in Glan Clwyd Hospital and The Walton Centre, Liverpool.
