Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Foreword
A new planning policy making system has been introduced as part of Government reforms to the planning system (Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and accompanying regulations). New policies, proposals and supporting guidance will be found in Local Development Documents. The individual development documents will form the Minerals and Waste Development Framework and will replace the policies and proposals currently found in the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Structure Plan 1996–2011 (formally adopted May 2001), the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Minerals Local Plan 1994–2006 (formally adopted December 1999) and the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Waste Local Plan 1998-2011 (formally adopted February 2003).
This is the first Annual Monitoring Report for the Staffordshire Minerals and Waste Development Framework and has been produced to monitor and assess our progress in delivering the new Local Development Documents and to monitor the extent to which existing and adopted mineral and waste policies are being achieved and identify if any policy changes are needed. This document will be prepared on an annual basis and will evolve as the new Local Development Documents are produced.
One of the main aims of the County Council is to work with people and communities and by producing this document, it is intended that the public should be better informed about the planning process and also about mineral and waste development taking place in the county.

Executive Summary Key Findings and Action To Be Taken.
The requirement for the first Annual Monitoring Report is to address the period since the commencement of the Planning and Compulsory Act 2004, i.e. October 2004 to end of March 2005, however authorities are encouraged where possible to assess the whole year 2004/20051. In order to provide a more meaningful assessment of the Local Development Document delivery/preparation and as a more helpful benchmark against which to assess the performance in the 2006 Annual Monitoring Report, this report assesses the financial year 1st April 2004 to 31st March 2005.
The Annual Monitoring Report contains information on the:
implementation of the Mineral and Waste Development Scheme;
monitoring of ‘saved’ policies;
difficulties in producing this document i.e. data collection issues; and
approaches to overcoming difficulties for the next Annual Monitoring Report in December 2006.
Minerals and Waste Development Scheme. There has been no formal document production during the period covered by this Annual Monitoring Report other than the submission of The Minerals and Waste Development Scheme to Government Office for West Midlands in March 2005, which then took effect from 21 April 2005.
During the financial year 2005/2006 progress has been made on the Statement of Community Involvement and the Mineral Core Strategy. The Statement of Community Involvement has been submitted to the Secretary of State and the statutory 6 week public consultation period ends 9 December 2005. The Mineral Core Strategy Issues and Options document is currently undergoing formal public consultation until the 23 December 2005.
With regard to the proposed milestones during 2006 (commencement targets and production targets) for preparing the Waste Core Strategy, the Waste Site Allocations, and Mineral Core Strategy Development Plan Documents adjustments will be required to the timetable identified in the Minerals and Waste Development Scheme to take into account delays plus an anticipated staffing shortfall.
Revisions to the Minerals and Waste Development Scheme are proposed to be submitted to Government Office for West Midlands in March 2006 and
1 Regulation 48, The Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004.
- vii - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 progress on the revised timetable will be reported in the Annual Monitoring Report 2006.
Monitoring of ‘Saved’ Policies. On the basis that replacement policy has yet to be produced, this first Annual Monitoring Report focuses on the monitoring of the ‘saved’ policies in the current Development Plans: The Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Minerals Local Plan 1994 – 2006; and The Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Waste Local Plan 1998 – 2011.
The key aspects for monitoring Mineral Policies:
The focus has been on the maintenance of mineral supply. We have considered landbanks and reviewed exceptional circumstances where there is a need to release additional minerals. This is useful information at a time when we are about to review our future strategy for mineral supply.
For the future we will need to continue to review mineral supply taking account of the policy aim to encourage alternatives to primary aggregates and also in the context of the market for construction materials and minerals based manufacturing products.
All ‘saved’ mineral policies will be reviewed as part of the production of the two Mineral Development Plan Documents.
The key Waste Policy Findings are:
The focus has been on the location of new waste management treatment capacity and encouragement of the “waste hierarchy” reducing the amount of waste being landfilled. With the Regional agenda setting out additional waste management capacity required this is useful information on how we are meeting National and Regional aims.
For the future we will need to continue to review both waste arisings and treatment capacity annually. Further survey work needs to be also undertaken to establish the total capacity of existing facilities in Staffordshire and to establish if there is spare treatment capacity and if it is interchangeable between waste streams/materials.
All ‘saved’ waste policies will be reviewed as part of the production of the two Waste Development Plan Documents.
Difficulties in Producing this Report. The report has highlighted gaps in data collection that need to be rectified in order to effectively monitor the planning policies for minerals and waste development in Staffordshire. In particular the following difficulties have been encountered:
- viii - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Providing data for the Core Output Indicators relating to alternative aggregates. Secondary and recycled aggregated data provided by West Midlands Regional Aggregates Working Party is not available at a Mineral Planning Authority level. Also the most up-to-date minerals data provided by RAWP's is for 2003. There is therefore a need for a review of this Core Output Indicator at a higher/National level.
Providing data for the Waste Core Output Indicators relating to the capacity of new waste management facilities by type. ‘New’ facilities are defined as those which have planning permission and are operable. It is considered that the definition is overly complicated as it requires the planning authority to confirm when exactly the site is operational and it is considered that the emphasis should be monitoring the amount of permitted capacity. A review of this Core Output Indicator is required at a higher/National level.
The data on licensed waste management facilities is Environment Agency data. At the time of writing the Strategic Waste Management Assessment had not yet been published and the data used in this report were draft figures for 2002/2003.
Staffordshire County Council is at a very early stage of the Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Minerals and Waste Development Framework and collection and analysis of much of the objectives data has staffing and resource issues. It has therefore not been possible for the Annual Monitoring Report 2005 to monitor all of the significant effects indicators.
Approaches to overcoming difficulties for the 2006 Annual Monitoring Report. The Annual Monitoring Report will evolve as the Local Development Documents are produced, related monitoring systems are established and trend data becomes available.
By next year further sustainability appraisal work should have been undertaken. It should be, therefore, possible to consider more broadly indicators for ‘significant effects’ although we will still be in a position where we are predicting the effects of replacement policy.
With regard to secondary and recycled aggregate data, future reports could improve the data provided by including recycling capacities for each permitted site using data taken from planning applications.
It is also our intention for future reports to evaluate the effectiveness of the Statement of Community Involvement and report on any amendments required to the to the way in which local people and stakeholders are involved in planning for minerals and waste development, and the types of groups consulted.

1. Introduction.
1.1 This is the first Minerals and Waste Development Framework (MWDF) Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) produced by Staffordshire County Council (SCC). The AMR assesses the financial year 1st April 2004 to 31st March 2005.
1.2 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (Section 35) requires every local planning authority to produce an AMR each year containing information on:
i. how we are performing in terms of meeting the targets and milestones for Local Development Document preparation (LDD) (set out in the approved Minerals & Waste Development Scheme (MWDS), available on our website at www.staffordshire.gov.uk/planning). If targets are not met, reasons will be provided on why we are behind schedule and if the development scheme will need to be reviewed.
ii. monitoring results of the implementation and effectiveness of mineral and waste policy in respect of national, regional and local policy targets and in respect of social, environmental and economic objectives. This will influence the need to review policies within development plan documents.
1.3 The monitoring of strategic and general mineral policies applies to the whole of Staffordshire, which includes the County area except those parts within the Peak District National Park and the administrative area of Stoke-on-Trent City Council. With respect to waste policies, as it is intended that the Waste Site Allocation Development Plan Document will be produced jointly with Stoke-on-Trent City Council, monitoring of strategic and general waste policies applies to the County area including the administrative area of Stoke-on-Trent City Council. (Refer to Appendix 4 Figure 1).
1.4 In addition to the requirements of Section 35 of The Act, it is also our intention for the AMR to evaluate the success of the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) (available on our website at www.staffordshire.gov.uk/planning) and identify whether or not any changes need to be made to the way in which local people and stakeholders are involved in planning for minerals and waste development.
1.5 The AMR is divided into the following sections:
i. Local Development Scheme delivery; ii. the contextual background against which to consider the effects of policies; and
- 1 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 iii. an analysis of existing (‘saved’) policies that constitute the MWDF.
1.6 Core output indicators, local output indicators and significant effects indicators provide the benchmarks for measuring policy implementation.
Core output Indicators – Authorities are required to monitor a set of local development framework core output indicators as a consistent data source. The Office for the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) published ‘Local Development Framework Monitoring: A Good Practice Guide’, lists 2 mineral and 2 waste core output indicators which require monitoring. The findings from these indicators will allow regional planning bodies to build up a regional picture of spatial planning performance which will feed into the monitoring of regional policy (Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) for West Midlands).
Local output indicators are key policy areas which SCC considers require monitoring.
There is also a requirement to monitor the ‘significant effects’ of policies. This should enable a comparison between the predicted effects of policies on society, the environment and the economy (made during the sustainability appraisal process) and actual effects measured during the implementation of policies. Significant effects are monitored by using indicators associated with sustainability objectives derived through the process of sustainability appraisal. On the basis that the County Council is at an early stage in the sustainability appraisal process, there is limited scope for the monitoring of the actual ‘significant effects’ of policies in this report.
1.7 The main monitoring principles / methodology being followed for output, significant effects and contextual indicators are: the analysis of the types of mineral and waste planning permissions determined by SCC and their site locations within the County; and, an analysis of minerals sites allocated in the ‘Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Minerals Local Plan 1994-2006’. The data sources used are:
i. Mineral landbanks and planning permissions – SCC Development Control Unit databases. ii. Landfill capacities and capacities for treatment of wastes and planning permissions – SCC Development Control Unit databases. iii. Municipal waste data – SCC Waste Management Unit records. iv. Environmental records – SCC Environment and Countryside Unit. v. Sales and reserves of aggregate minerals within West Midlands Region – West Midlands Regional Aggregates Working Party (RAWPs).
- 2 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 vi. Waste arising and licensed waste management facilities data – Environment Agency. vii. Regional (strategic) data on waste arisings and capacities – West Midlands Regional Technical Advisory Body for waste (WMRTAB) commissioned waste studies.
1.8 The following data sources have also been used for setting the contextual background. i. Demographic, economic, and residential land data – SCC Research Unit. ii. Demographic and economic data from ONS.
1.9 The first AMR needs to be submitted to the Secretary of State (through the Government Office for the West Midlands (GOWM)) by the end of December 2005. It is also required to meet the National Best Value Performance Indicator 200(c).
1.10 Prior to the submission, SCC facilitated two meetings for Mineral and Waste Planning Authorities on 9 August 2005 and 10 October 2005 to discuss a possible AMR template for MWDF’s. The document was also taken to the 1st December 2005 SCC Planning Committee for Members approval.

2. Local Development Scheme delivery.
2.1 Appendix G of the MWDS provides the timetable for the production of development documents, this is summarised in Appendix 1 Table A.
2.2 During the financial year assessed by this AMR, (1st April 2004 to 31st March 2005), work commenced on the MWDS, SCI and the Mineral Core Strategy (MCS). The MWDS was submitted to GOWM in March 2005 and took effect from 21 April 2005. As no other formal documents were produced during that time, it is therefore considered necessary to comment on the forthcoming financial year which will be assessed by the AMR 2006.
2.3 The SCI – Issues Questionnaire was produced June 2005 and the SCI - pre-submission draft underwent formal public consultation between 30 June and 11 August 2005. The SCI has now been submitted to the First Secretary of State (SoS) and the statutory 6 week public consultation period ends 9 December 2005. Subject to the issue of approval by the SoS it is considered by SCC that we are on track to meet the March 2006 adoption target for the SCI.
2.4 With regard to the MCS, the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) /Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Scoping Report for the MCS was produced in July 2005. Due to staffing resources being deployed onto a Planning Appeal the MCS Issues and Options target of May 2005 was not achieved, however the document was reported at October 13th Planning Committee and public consultation on the document commenced November 2005 ending 23 December 2005. Consultation on the MCS – Preferred options and sustainability appraisal report will now be deferred from December 2005, and there will also be a need to review the submission date to the SoS from October 2006. With regard to the commencement targets and document production targets for Minerals Site Allocations (MSA) the approved MWDS timetable will be maintained.
2.5 With regard to the commencement targets and document production targets for the Waste Core Strategy (WCS), and Waste Site Allocations (WSA), adjustments will be required to the 2006 timetable identified in the MWDS and discussions will need to take place with Stoke City Council on a revised timetable. Revisions to the MWDS are proposed to be submitted to GOWM in March 2006 and the changes to the timetable will also be reported in the AMR 2006.
2.6 It is considered that commencement and production of the waste Development Plan Documents (DPD’s) should be deferred and should correspond more closely with the review of the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) for West Midlands. The RSS was published in June 2004 and a number of topics were identified for early review. Waste has been identified as a topic for Phase 2 for the revision, which was
- 4 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 launched 7 November 2005, and the waste strategy is estimated for completion/submission to the SoS early 2007. As Planning Policy Statement 10 ‘Planning for Sustainable Waste Management’ (PPS10) requires the Regional Planning Body / RSS to identify the tonnages of waste that each Waste Planning Authority should plan for in their DPD’s, it is considered sensible to separate the production of the WCS from the WSA, and to produce the site specific WSA from monitoring what is emerging from the RSS Phase 2 review.
2.7 Commencement and production of future LDD’s is also dependent on the provision of adequate staff resources for the development framework team and for supporting teams. Appendix F of the MWDS (available on our website at www.staffordshire.gov.uk) provides information on the development document programme management. The development framework team originally comprised of two principal planning officers (vacant post filled in June 2005) and one senior planning officer. Temporary cover is required for one of the principal planning officers from January 2006 and the senior planning officer position is currently a temporary part time resource following the internal promotion of the postholder. Whilst it is anticipated that the temporary cover and the full time senior planning officer position will be refilled before the end of 2005, this will have a knock-on effect and temporarily delay the commencement and production of future DPD’s. There is also concern that in order to meet the SA/SEA objectives additional staff resources will be required for the monitoring work. As stated in para. 2.5 above the revised MWDS which will be submitted to GOWM in March 2006 will outline the DPD’s revised timetable.
2.8 It is our intention for future AMR’s to also evaluate the effectiveness of the SCI and report on any amendments required to the types of groups consulted, the consultation methods and engagement techniques used and the timing of exercises. Also once each DPD or Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been adopted we will contact all parties who have been involved in their production with a customer satisfaction survey and ask for feedback. The results of these monitoring exercises and whether or not the public were satisfied with the overall consultation process will be reported as part of the AMR and where necessary will inform what changes are to be made to the SCI methods.

3. Contextual Background.
Population 3.1 The area administered by the County Council is some 2,623 square kilometres in size and the former County area (pre-April 1997) which includes the administrative area of Stoke-on-Trent Unitary Authority is 2,716 square kilometres2. Staffordshire’s main urban areas include Stafford, Lichfield, Tamworth, Cannock, Burton-upon-Trent, Newcastle- under-Lyme, Leek and Codsall. Three-quarters of the total land area is rural and one-quarter of the population live in small rural communities. The 2004 population of Staffordshire is 812,600 and the population of Stoke-on-Trent is 238,000, giving a greater Staffordshire population of 1,050,6003. The projected 2021 population for Staffordshire is 839,700 and 222,300 for Stoke-on-Trent4.
Households 3.2 The total number of households in Staffordshire is 338,005 of which 97.1% are occupied. In Stoke-on-Trent the total number of households is 108,121 of which 95.4% are occupied5. The RSS proposes an average rate of housing provision 2001-2007 for Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent of 3,500 dwellings p.a., subdivided to 2,900 dwellings in Staffordshire and 600 dwellings p.a. in Stoke-on-Trent. Housing completions April 2003 – March 2004 were 3,374 (3.6% lower than the RSS target), of which 800 were in Stoke-on-Trent and 2,574 in Staffordshire. Only a small number of residential demolitions take place in Staffordshire each year with the majority being in Stoke-on-Trent. The RSS includes an assumption in its housing proposals that demolitions will take place 2001-2010 at approximately 50 p.a. in Staffordshire and 500 p.a. in Stoke-on-Trent. In 2003/04, there were 341 demolitions, of which 289 were in Stoke-on-Trent and 52 were in Staffordshire. 96% of the demolitions were within the urban area. The figure for Staffordshire is in line with Regional assumptions, but Stoke- on-Trent falls short, although this will be corrected as the Pathfinder Housing Market Renewal Strategy takes effect6.
Employment 3.3 At the time of the 2001 Census 0.2%, 21.5% and 7.3% of Staffordshire’s economically active population and 0.2%, 27.7% and 7.3% of Stoke-on-Trent’s economically active population were employed in the mining and quarrying industry, the manufacturing industry, and the construction industry respectively7. The economically active population now employed in mining and quarrying has declined (by 0.1%) to 0.1% in Staffordshire but has remained the same (0.2%) in
2 2001 Census ONS. 3 Registrar General’s population estimates for mid year 2004, ONS. 4 2003 based sub-national population projections, ONS. 5 2001 Census, ONS. 6 Residential Land Availability Survey Report 2004, SCC Research Unit. 7 2001 Census, ONS.
- 6 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Stoke-on-Trent. Fewer people are now employed in the construction industry with 4.7% of Staffordshire’s population and 4.2% of Stoke-on- Trent’s population, a decline of 2.6% and 3.1% respectively. With regard to the manufacturing of mineral based products 1.6% of Staffordshire’s and 10.4% of Stoke-on-Trent’s population are employed in this industry. With regard to recycling and sewage & refuse disposal, sanitation & similar activities 0.1% and 0.4% of Staffordshire’s population and 0.02% and 0.2% of Stoke-on-Trent’s population are employed in these industries8. (Refer to Appendix 2, Table A).
Minerals 3.4 Staffordshire is one of the largest mineral producers in the country. The most significant mineral in terms of tonnage is sand and gravel. Staffordshire produces about 8% of the national9 and 66%10 of the regional production of sand and gravel for aggregate use, e.g. concrete and mortar, each year. Total Mineral production in 2003 and permitted reserves at the end of 2003 were as follows:
• Production 10.79 million tonnes11 • Reserves 444.55 million tonnes12
3.5 There are currently 70 ‘active’ mineral sites subject to planning control in Staffordshire, consisting of:
1 Anhydrite (and Gypsum) mine. 24 Clay and Shale quarries, of which 22 are Etruria Marl. 1 Deep coal mine. 4 Limestone quarries sites, of which 1 is for cement. 32 Sand and gravel quarries. 5 Sandstone (Building and Dimension Stone) quarries. 1 Shale (for cement) quarry. 2 Silica Sand quarries.
(Refer to Appendix 2, Table B and Appendix 4, Figure 2. Note: ‘Pre- operational’ mineral sites are sites with planning permission but have not yet commenced mineral extraction. ‘Operational’ mineral sites are sites where mineral is currently being extracted/sold. ‘Non-operational’ sites are sites where mineral extraction has commenced but is not currently taking place. Some sites may have ceased mineral extraction but are ‘active’ landfill sites. Please note there may be sites that are undergoing restoration and are in the ‘after-care’ stage that are not considered as ‘active’ and do not appear on the list).

- 7 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 3.6 The Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Minerals Local Plan 1994 – 2006 also allocates 13 mineral sites, 10 of which are unimplemented to date. (Refer to Appendix 2, Table C and Appendix 4, Figure 3).
3.7 In terms of planning for minerals there are 58 policies within the Minerals Local Plan. Policy use in application committee and delegation reports and in decision notices has been monitored since the adoption of the Local Plan (01-01-00). (Refer to Appendix 2, Table D). Commentary on this is dealt with in detail in Section 4.2.
3.8 During the year covered by the AMR, 15 mineral applications have been determined. (Refer to Appendix 2, Table P). No new quarries or mines have been permitted, however two extensions to existing quarries were granted planning permission allowing for a combined total extraction of 4 million tonnes of sand and gravel.
3.9 One of the key policy aims is to encourage alternatives to primary sources of aggregates. Within the County there are 18 permitted active aggregate recycling facilities (refer to Appendix 3, Table D).
3.10 The key changes that will affect the minerals industry in Staffordshire over the lifetime of the MWDF are: • Aggregate minerals – there is an increasing requirement to use alternatives to primary sources of aggregate. The availability of sites to recycle suitable wastes to recover aggregate material will be a significant factor affecting the objective for using substitutes. Greater emphasis on the use of sustainable building construction will also have an effect on the requirements for raw materials. • Industrial minerals – the extent of the geological deposits is more constrained than for aggregate minerals and there may be a need to review how we safeguard these minerals from sterilisation by other types of development. • Energy minerals – The effect of reducing carbon emissions together with the economics relating to domestic coal extraction has resulted in the curtailment of mineral working for coal in the County. There is potential, however, for the remaining coal resource to be exploited by alternative methods that could enable the coal resource to be utilised more ‘cleanly’.
Waste 3.11 The latest figures from the Environment Agency for 2002/03 show that about 14.5 million tonnes of waste was deposited at licensed waste management facilities in the West Midlands Region, of which 3 million tonnes of waste was deposited in Staffordshire. 96,097 tonnes of hazardous waste is produced in Staffordshire and 87,715 tonnes (12%) of the West Midland Region’s hazardous waste is deposited in
- 8 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Staffordshire (refer to Appendix 2, Tables E - H. Commentary on this is dealt with in detail in Section 4.4)13 .
3.12 Within Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent there are currently 220 ‘active’’ waste management facilities consisting of :
9 Composting facilities. 27 Landfill sites. 9 Incinerators. 6 Landfill gas utilisation facilities. 16 Household waste recycling facilities. 114 Waste transfer and material recycling facilities. 39 Sewage Treatment Works.
It should be noted that several sites have more than one function, e.g. mineral and landfill, landfill and material reclamation facility and composting etc. (Refer To Appendix 2, Tables I - Q and Appendix 4, Figures 4 – 9. Note: ‘Pre-operational’ sites are sites with planning permission but have not yet started to receive waste. Such sites may also require a Waste Management Licence, or to be registered as exempt before they can begin to receive waste. ‘Operational’ sites are sites which are currently receiving waste and have not closed. ‘Non- operational’ and ‘Non-operational / closed ?’ sites are sites where waste operations have commenced but are not currently taking place. A ‘?’ indicates that the details are under review, or no response has been made to recent surveys and so the current status cannot be confirmed).
3.13 The Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Waste Local Plan 1998 to 2011 contains 16 policies. Policy use in application committee and delegation reports and in decision notices has been monitored since the adoption of the Local Plan (01-02-03). (Refer to Appendix 2, Table O). Commentary on this is dealt with in detail in Section 4.4).
3.14 During the year covered by the AMR, 51 waste applications have been determined. (Refer to Appendix 2, Table Q). Of the 51 applications, 11 were for new waste management facilities which have been granted planning permission. (Details of the permitted new waste management facilities are summarised in Section 4.4. Also refer to Appendix 3, Table F).
3.15 The key waste policy drivers that provide the waste context include: • The Landfill Directive – notably the end of co-disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste in landfills in July 2004, the application of Waste Acceptance Criteria in July 2005, and the targets to reduce landfill by 2010, 2013 and 2020. • The National Waste Strategy, which establishes targets for increased municipal and household waste recovery and
13 Strategic Waste Management Assessment 2002/2003 Draft Data, Environment Agency.
- 9 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 recycling, and reduced landfill of industrial and commercial wastes. • The Landfill Tax, the rate of which has increased from £7 per tonne at its introduction in 1996 to £15 in 2004 and which is set to rise to £18 in 2005/06 and thereafter by £3 per tonne until it reaches the medium term rate of £35. • Best Value, which sets household waste recovery targets for 2003 and 2005. • The Hazardous Waste Regulations, which will increase the amount of waste that is classified and needs to be treated as hazardous and the Waste Acceptance Criteria which will prescribe the form in which it can be managed, or treated and disposed. • Producer Responsibility legislation, notably the End of Life Vehicles (ELV) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations. • The Aggregates Levy which will encourage the recycling of the construction and demolition waste stream for use as aggregates. • Pollution and Prevention Control targets to reduce waste produced by regulated processes.
Environment 3.16 There are two areas of Green Belt designated within Staffordshire, one surrounding the North Staffordshire Conurbation 37,919 hectares in area, and the second area north and west of the West Midlands Conurbation 54,387 hectares in area. There is also one designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – Cannock Chase AONB, an area of 6,905 hectares.
3.17 Other natural assets within the County are: 65 Sites of Special Scientific Interest. 656 Sites of Biological Importance. 452 Biodiversity Alert Sites.
Future Developments 3.18 Although it was not possible for this AMR it is our intention for future AMR’s to provide information on:
i. a list of significant developments proposed that SCC are aware of that will have future implications for mineral production and waste management in the County (e.g. major urban regeneration / house building in the Black Country and North Staffs (Phase 1 of the RSS Review); and M6 widening).
ii. the utilisation of mineral (i.e. number and type of manufacturing units e.g. concrete product factories) and information on industrial processes using waste as a raw product (e.g. waste wood, Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA), chipped tyres, sewage sludge pellets etc).

Analysis & interpretation. Sand and gravel deposits are worked throughout the West Midlands Region with the greatest production concentrated in Staffordshire (65.56% in 2003)14. Within the County there are 32 sand and gravel quarries (13 of which are non operational containing permitted reserves) and aggregate materials produced as a by-product at one of the silica sand quarries (Refer to Appendix 2 – Table B). The landbank for sand and gravel at 31.12.03 equates to 14.02 years with reserves of 92.58 million tonnes15. As Figure 1 above shows, sales of sand and gravel increased between 1997 and 1999, however sales have since followed an overall downward trend. Sales are well below the Mineral Local Plan apportionment but correspond well with the new apportionment as stated out in RSS Policy M2. This apportionment takes into account increased contribution from alternative aggregate sources.
Crushed rock is worked for aggregate purposes throughout the West Midlands Region. Staffordshire produced 19.3% of the regional total in 200316. Within the County there are 3 limestone quarries (1 of which is non operational containing permitted reserves) producing mineral for aggregate use. (Refer to Appendix 2 – Table B). The landbank for crushed rock at 31-12-03 equates to 126.27 years with reserves of 176.15 million tonnes17. As Figure 2 above shows, sales of crushed rock have followed a downward trend since 1997 and are now below the sub-regional apportionment stated in regional policy. The figures are well below the Mineral Local Plan apportionment but this takes into account production used for cement.

With regard to the production of secondary and recycled materials, and increasing the contribution of this alternative source of materials, policies are in place in the Minerals and Waste Local Plans which encourage the development of facilities for the recycling of minerals wastes, demolition and construction wastes (MLP Policies 7 and 55, and WLP Policy 2). The success of these policies are however difficult to measure because of the lack of data available.
Secondary aggregates comprise materials which are the by-product of other extractive operations e.g. colliery shale or the by-product of industrial processes e.g. pulverised fuel ash (PFA) from coal burning power stations. Within Staffordshire secondary aggregates may be obtained from a number of sources including colliery spoil, power station ash, ironworks slag, demolition and construction wastes and asphalt road planings.
Figures for secondary and recycled materials sold as aggregates are only collected for the Region as a whole. The West Midlands Regional Aggregates Working Party (WM RAWP) Annual Report 2003 however provides a list of permitted active aggregate recycling facilities. Within Staffordshire there are 18 sites listed (Refer to Appendix 3, Table D). Only a proportion of recyclates, are produced from these sites and a large proportion of material is recycled on demolition sites. Future AMR’s could improve the list provided by including permitted recycling capacities by site using the data taken from planning applications. Relevant data could also come from a number of sources, e.g. District Councils and Environmental Health Officers. Further consideration of this Core Output Indicator is therefore required.

- 15 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Analysis & Interpretation. The Minerals Local Plan contains ‘landbank’ policies (MLP Policies 1 and 2 and the list below) for non-energy minerals to ensure adequate supply of minerals whilst conserving minerals and protecting the environment in line with national and regional policy. A landbank site is a site with planning permission to extract minerals. Landbank data is publicly available for clay and shale, sand and gravel, limestone (crushed rock) and building and dimension stone. Figures for anhydrite and gypsum, limestone and shale (for cement manufacture) and silica sand are however site specific and therefore confidential and figures cannot be disclosed at this stage.
The Mineral Local Plan landbank policies per specific mineral type are as follows:
MLP Policy 46 The landbank for Anhydrite for 15 years Fauld Mine MLP Policy 47 The landbank for Clay and Shale 15 years MLP Policy 48 The landbank for Limestone and 15 years Shale for Cauldon Cement Works MLP Policy 50 The landbank for Sand and 7 years Gravel MLP Policy 53 The landbank for Limestone 15 years (Crushed Rock) MLP Policy 56 The landbank for Silica Sand for 10 years use at the Moneystone Processing Plant MLP Policy 58 The landbank for Building and 15 years Dimension Stone
Figure 3 above clearly shows that the actual mineral landbanks exceed the minimum requirements as set out in the Minerals Local Plan. There are a number of reasons for the high provision; these include:
• The existence of a number of permissions which have been granted for mineral workings, due to exceptional circumstances over and above landbank requirements. • The existence of a number of permitted reserves, subject to extensive planning permission that were granted many years ago.
With regard to Brick Clay and Building Stone, the landbanks at 2003 are 50 years and 165 years respectively. Figures 4 and 5 above show that clay production has followed a downward trend 1997 – 2003 and although building stone production declined steeply between 1997 and 1998 there has been an upward trend since 2001.
There is no current need in landbank terms except for silica sand, shale for cement and anhydrite. There is less than 4 years silica sand reserves remaining18 and less than 5 years shale reserves remaining19. The landbank
18 WBB Scoping Report for Quarry Extension Planning Application 2005.
- 16 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 for providing future supplies of anhydrite from Fauld is based on a 15 year landbank. In 2000, British Gypsum confirmed that anhydrite reserves below the Tatenhill Airfield amounted to 3 million tonnes with a further 2 million tonnes to the north of the Airfield. Based on an annual production rate of 350,000 tonnes per annum, this would mean that the anhydrite reserves provide less than the 15 year landbank requirement20.
Whether the landbanks are appropriate will be tested when the MLP Policies are reviewed and will need to take into account changes in National Mineral Policy. As an example draft National Policy is suggesting an alternative approach to managing the supply for brick clays.

MLP Policy 38 - Exceptional Circumstances
Statement of purpose. To ensure appropriate flexibility for the provision of minerals.
Relevant indicator. Applications permitted for sites not allocated in the Mineral Local Plan.
Key data. Table showing sites and new reserves granted since adoption of Mineral Local Plan (1/1/2000). (Refer to Appendix 3 Table E).
Analysis & interpretation. Since the adoption of the Mineral Local Plan 14 planning permission have been granted for new non-energy mineral reserves, that aren’t allocated in the MLP, with the planning policy justification being exceptional circumstances.
Examples of exceptional circumstances are stated under para. 3.110 of the MLP. These are:
(1) Where minerals are released as part of a scheme of co-ordinated working and restoration within a quarry or between adjoining quarries. (2) Limited small scale extensions to quarries/mines. (3) Where new information becomes available about mineral reserves in areas outside those identified in the Plan and an application is brought forward which is significantly more acceptable than a site identified in the Plan. (4) Where there is a proven need to amortise new investment in brick and tile manufacturing plant by releasing reserves in close proximity to the plant. (5) Where there is a need to supply minerals with special properties to meet a specialised demand.
The analysis in Appendix 3 Table E shows that of the 14 new mineral reserves permitted: • 9 were for sand and gravel (11.9Mt) • 2 were for silica sand (0.8Mt) • 1 was for limestone (crushed rock) (0.92Mt) and • 2 were for brick clay (1.8Mt). • 7 of the new permissions were granted on the basis of a small scale extension, (Exceptional Circumstance No. 2). • 4 of the new permissions involved securing benefits through a new co- ordinated working and restoration scheme, (Exceptional Circumstance No. 1). • 1 of the new permissions involved securing the supply of minerals with special properties, (Exceptional Circumstance No. 5). • 2 of the new permissions involved recovery of all economic mineral as part of an existing mining operation.
- 18 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005
The analysis shows that the examples of exceptional circumstances given in the MLP have been used in the majority of cases where an exceptional circumstances justification has been necessary. Cases where mineral has been extracted to secure full recovery of the mineral as part of an existing mineral operation take into account the need to avoid sterilising economic mineral during an existing mineral operation.
This review will be useful in identifying circumstances for the supply of minerals over and above the 'landbank' strategies currently used.
- 19 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Mineral Policy Use.
The use of the 58 Mineral Local Plan Policies and 7 mineral proposals in applications, Committee and Delegation Reports, and Decision Notices has been monitored between the adopted plan period (1/1/00) up until 30/11/04. The results are shown in Appendix 2, Table D.
The following policies were used the most and are a good indication for the need for policy:
Total Use Use in Use in of Policy Reports Conditions MLP Policy 12 – No unacceptable adverse impact of proposed mineral development x 86 x 39 x 46 MLP Policy 9 – Site restoration and aftercare x 78 x 46 MLP Policy 27 – Green Belt x 66 x 38 MLP Policy 21 – Landscape x 62 x 36 character and quality MLP Policy 32 – Water protection x 61
The following policies have not been used: MLP Policy 25 Archaeological recording and recovery. MLP Policy 29 Non-road transport. MLP Policy 41 Disposal of colliery waste. MLP Policy 43 Reworking of colliery waste. MLP Policy 48 Limestone and shale landbank – Cauldon Cement Works. MLP Policy 49 Maintain the limestone and shale landbank. MLP Policy 56 Moneystone silica sand landbank. MLP Policy 58 Building and dimension stone landbank. MLP Proposal 1 Newchurch Area of Search – Anhydrite. MLP Proposal 2 Walleys Quarry extension. MLP Proposal 3 Mineral Safeguard Areas – Etruria Marl MLP Proposal 4 New House Farm Area of Search – Cauldon Shale Quarry. MLP Proposal 7 Area of Search for silica sand for use at Moneystone.
It is considered that the policies and proposals listed above were not used in applications, Committee and Delegation Reports, and Decision Notices because the relevant criteria of application was not submitted for determination during the monitoring period. In fact it will become apparent in the publication of the AMR 2006 that specific applications have been submitted since this AMR 2005 period which relate to a number of the MLP Proposals and corresponding policies. It is therefore considered inappropriate to review the policies during the interim period between now and the review and preparation of the two minerals DPD’s.

Analysis & interpretation. RSS Policy WD1 restates the national targets, which are: • To recover value from at least 40% of municipal waste by 2005, 45% by 2010 and 67% by 2015; • To recycle or compost at least 25% of household waste by 2005, 30% by 2010, and 33% by 2015; • To reduce the proportion of industrial and commercial waste which is disposed of to landfill to, at the most, 85% of 1998 levels by 2005.
- 23 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 RSS Policy WD2 specifies the needs for waste management facilities in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent: • 364,000 tonnes annual throughput capacity required by 2020/21 for municipal waste recycling and composting facilities. • 383,000 tonnes annual throughput capacity required by 2020/21 for municipal waste recovery. • 7,837,000 tonnes cumulative landfill capacity required for municipal waste streams taking into account the target reductions in the National Waste Strategy 1998/99 -2020/21. • 18,010,000 tonnes cumulative landfill capacity required for industrial and commercial waste streams taking into account the target reductions in the National Waste Strategy 1998/99 -2020/21.
RSS Policy WD2 also specifies the additional municipal waste management facilities required by 2021 in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent: • 284,000 tonnes annual throughput capacity required by 2021 of additional recycling and composting municipal waste management facilities. • 5.5 equivalent number of recycling and composting facilities at 50,000 tonnes pa capacity. • 187,000 tonnes annual throughput capacity required by 2021 of additional recovery (either EfW or MRF) municipal waste management facilities. • 0.5 equivalent number of EfW facilities required at 300,000 tonnes pa. • 4 equivalent number of MRF’s required at 50,000 tonnes pa.
The trends in household waste depicted by Figures 6 and 7 above (also refer to Appendix 3, Table G) show that the total amount of household waste managed has grown over the last five years by approximately 9%.
During the year covered by this AMR 446,312 tonnes of household waste was managed which equates to 550kg per person. Of this waste:
64,760 tonnes (14.51%) was recycled, 62,261 tonnes (13.95%) was composted, 89,976 tonnes (20.16%) was managed through heat, power and other energy recovery, and 229,315 tonnes (51.38%) of household waste was landfilled.
Although the amount of household waste has grown, the amount that is landfilled has decreased by 18.5% between 2000/01 and 2004/05 and the amount of waste recycled, composted and recovered in Staffordshire has increased by 8%, 8%, and 2% respectively. This is evidence that more sustainable methods of waste management are now being encouraged and used. It is also important to note that the 2005 RSS target for recycling and composting has been met.
With regard to planning applications approved for new waste management facilities, Figure 8 above (also refer to Appendix 3 Table F) lists the 11 sites granted planning permission during this AMR monitoring period. 3 of the sites
- 24 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 are for landfill, two farm infills and 1 landfill extension, with a total void capacity of 250,609 cubic metres. It should be noted however that the landfill extension (236,000 cubic metres) is not yet operable and is awaiting a licence from the Environment Agency. Of the remaining 8 sites, 2 are composting sites, 2 are waste transfer stations (WTS), 2 are material reclamation facilities (MRF), and 2 are WTS/MRF’s. The total annual throughput of these waste management facilities is 87,499 tonnes. The applications that are coming forward demonstrate a trend towards the development of recycling and reclamation facilities rather than the development of major new landfills.
With regard to RSS capacity targets, which are subject to review, a considerable number of new facilities are required if these targets are to be met. Adequate data to monitor these targets at a local level is a significant issue for now and the future.

Analysis & interpretation. Planning Policy Statement 10 ‘Planning for Sustainable Waste Management (PPS10) and the National Waste Strategy 2000 sets out a systematic approach to the measuring of waste arisings and the responsibilities of different levels of administration to deliver sustainable waste policy and management with the overarching principles of waste being managed close to where it arises and wherever possible treating waste as high up the waste hierarchy as possible. These requirements do not just relate to municipal waste but to all waste streams including industrial and commercial and construction and demolition.
Of the 51 Waste County Matter applications received by SCC between 1st April 2004 – 31st March 2005 (Refer to Appendix 2, Table Q):
7 were withdrawn, 2 were invalid, 1 was refused.
The application refused was for an on-farm inert waste recycling and crushing facility. This proposal was deemed to not be in accordance with the principles of WLP Policy 2 (proximity principle i.e. close to an urban area/ the source of waste) and was deemed to have an unacceptable adverse impact on the countryside by virtue of the scale and nature of the proposals and the increase in landscape and visual harm.
- 27 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Of the remaining 41 applications the following types of developments were permitted:
Non- compliance Renewal of Retrospective / Variation Temporary Nature of Full Full Change of Permission Development Application Application of Use Conditions TOTAL Recycling (WTS / MRF / Scrapyard) 2 1 3 5 1 12 Composting – On farm 2 2 Landfill 1 1 Landfill – On farm 2 2 4 Sewage 15 1 16 Treatment Works Ancillary 5 1 6 Developments (weighbridge / offices / fencing / access / bridge) TOTAL 26 3 3 8 1 41
The nature of developments demonstrate that in terms of the ‘waste hierarchy’ principle set out in WLP Policy 2, (the promotion of recycling and composting before recovery of energy from waste and then disposal as the last option), there is a trend towards the development of recycling and material reclamation facilities and composting. In spite of the ‘waste hierarchy’ principle and the strict criteria for considering on-farm landfills and extensions to existing landfill facilities (WLP Policies 8 and 10), sites for landfill however continue to be submitted and approved.
As shown in Figure 9 above 11 of the 41 applications permitted new waste management facilities, 3 of which related to landfill. The three applications however were in accordance with policy (WLP Policies 8 and 10) as they either complemented existing activities and/or involved the minimum amount of inert waste necessary to improve the agricultural land.
Each of the 8 applications permitted for recycling and composting generally accord with the proximity principle set out in WLP Policy 2 by being close to an urban area / the source of waste. 3 of the recycling applications also generally accord with WLP Policies 12 and 14 by re-using existing or redundant buildings and by carrying out all of /or part of the waste operations within a building. 4 of the 6 recycling applications are also compliant with policy by being located on industrial estates, the other two are within a quarry and on an urban farm.

Analysis & interpretation. The latest draft figures from the Environment Agency for 2002/03 (at the time of writing the EA Strategic Waste Management Assessment had not yet been published) show that about 14.5 million tonnes of waste was deposited at licensed waste management facilities in the West Midlands Region, of which 3
- 29 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 million tonnes of waste was deposited in Staffordshire21 (refer to Appendix 2, Tables E & F). Of the total waste deposits:
44% is inert /construction and demolition waste. 1% is special waste. 19% is municipal waste. 36% is industrial /commercial waste.
Figure 10 above clearly shows that apart from the management of Special waste, landfill remains the primary waste management option. Of the total waste deposited:
63.5% of the waste is disposed to landfill. 22.4% of the waste is managed at waste transfer stations. 10.3% of the waste is managed at treatment facilities. 3.2% of the waste is managed at metal recycling sites (MRS) – scrapyards / ELV’s. 0.7% of the waste is managed at civic amenity sites.
Like every region the West Midlands is facing a challenge about the quantity of waste arising. In accordance with National Policy (PPS10) the existing requirements for waste management capacity are being reviewed (RSS Phase 2 Review – due to be completed within the next 2 years. The intention is to provide alternative treatment capacity to avoid waste going to landfill. Three technical pieces of work have been undertaken, commissioned by the WMRTAB for waste, to try and identify the scale of the problem and establish what treatment capacity we have and how many new facilities that will be required. The following table indicates the sort of additional capacity considered necessary in Staffordshire. The options are broken down into different types of facility (biological, physical and thermal) and alternative sizes (small, medium and large). The results of the waste scenarios study show that the estimate of future capacity requirement broken-down by facility type and number for Staffordshire are as follows:
Biological Treatment Physical Treatment Thermal Treatment Future capacity 114,000 tonnes 156,000 tonnes 236,000 tonnes need, 2020 Small facility (25K) 5 6 2

- 30 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Waste Policy Use.
The use of the 16 Waste Local Plan Policies in applications, Committee and Delegation Reports, and Decision Notices has been monitored between the adopted plan period (10/02/03) up until 30/11/04. The results are shown in Appendix 2, Table O.
WLP Policy 3 ‘General Protection’ is the most used policy (66 times in total, 36 times in Committee Reports, and 30 times in Decision Notices).
WLP Policy 12 ‘Criteria for the location of waste treatment facilities’ is the other policy which has been used a significant number of times (26 times in total, 20 times in Committee Reports, and 6 times in Decision Notices).
The following policies have not been used: WLP Policy 5 Legal Agreements. WLP Policy 6 Waste implications of major development. WLP Policy 7 Siting of development in vicinity of waste management facilties. WLP Policy 16 Incineration.
Despite a number of applications requiring S106 Planning Agreements, WLP Policy 5 was not referred to specifically in Committee and Delegation Reports, and Decision Notices. WLP Policies 6 and 7 relate to applications which the Waste Planning Authority is consulted on by the District Planning Authorities, and there is a standard paragraph attached to Delegated Letters informing of the policy requirements. Finally WLP Policy 16 was not used in applications, Committee and Delegation Reports, and Decision Notices because the relevant criteria of application was not submitted for determination during the monitoring period. It is therefore considered inappropriate to review the policies during the interim period between now and the adoption of the new Waste DPD’s.
- 31 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 4.5 Significant effects indicators.
The ‘significant effect’ indicators are derived from the sustainability appraisal process. They enable a comparison to be made between the predicted effects of the policies on society, the environment and the economy and the actual effects measured during implementation of the policies.
For this first AMR, it is not possible to report on the actual ‘significant effects’ of replacement policy. In terms of sustainability appraisal, a scoping report has been produced for the Minerals Core Strategy DPD and this involves compiling a list of sustainability objectives, which will be used to ‘test’ replacement mineral policy. This work will be also of benefit when sustainability appraisal is commenced for preparation of replacement waste policies. It is understood that future AMRs will report on indicators associated with the objectives used in the sustainability appraisals and there is a concern about the extent of monitoring work that will be involved in measuring ‘significant effects’. For example, the SA framework for the Minerals Core Strategy at the time of writing proposes to use 23 objectives (refer to list in Appendix 3 Table H) with 38 indicators (draft national guidance indicates that between 12 and 25 objectives are normally enough to cover the range of topics needed for SA). Therefore, where there are several sets of sustainability objectives, it will not be possible to monitor everything and there will be a need to focus monitoring on:
• Effects that may give rise to irreversible damage; and • Where there is uncertainty in the SA, and where monitoring would enable preventative or mitigation measures to be taken.
For the purposes of testing an indicator associated with one of the key sustainability objectives used in the proposed SA framework for the Minerals Core Strategy, the following objective is considered:
10 Protect and enhance designated sites of ecological importance.
Table I in Appendix 3, indicates the number of designated sites of ecological importance already affected by active mineral and waste sites. Within the County there are 65 Sites of Special Scientific Interest, 656 Sites of Biological Importance and 452 Biodiversity Alert Sites. The table shows that 4 SSSIs are affected by mineral workings; and mineral and waste sites affect 27 locally significant Sites of Biological Interest. This analysis provides a ‘baseline’ indication for safeguarding ecologically important sites but other indicators would need to be developed if it is intended to show how ecological sites can be enhanced through mineral and waste development.
By next year further sustainability appraisal work should have been undertaken. It should be, therefore, possible to consider more broadly indicators for ‘significant effects’ although we will still be in a position where we are predicting the effects of replacement policy rather than measuring actual effects.
- 32 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 5. Conclusions.
Local Development Scheme Delivery.
Up to 31 March 2005, there is little progress to report but the AMR also reviews progress of local development document preparation since 31 March 2005 up to the present date. This indicates that the timetables for document preparation as set out in the Minerals and Waste Development Scheme will need to be reviewed to take into account delays in the early preparation of the Minerals Core Strategy; and an anticipated staffing shortfall for preparation of two local development documents proposed for waste development to be commenced next year.
Mineral Core Output Indicators.
Production of primary land won aggregates. 66% of the Region's production of sand and gravel is from Staffordshire. Actual production of sand and gravel from Staffordshire in 2003 was 300,000 tonnes (5%) less than the anticipated demand as indicated by the sub-regional apportionment (refer to Policy M2 of the Regional Spatial Strategy).
19% of the Region's production of crushed rock was produced in Staffordshire. Sales of crushed rock have followed a downward trend since 1997 and are 350,000 tonnes (25%) less than the sub-regional apportionment.
Production of secondary / recycled aggregates. There is no comprehensive local data available for secondary and recycled materials sold as aggregates. Figures are only collected for the Region as a whole and for 2003 figures provided by the West Midlands Regional Aggregates Working Party relied upon data from a national survey. There are 18 permitted active aggregate recycling facilities in Staffordshire. Future AMR’s could improve the data provided by including permitted recycling capacities by site using data taken from planning applications.
Mineral Local Output Indicators.
Adequate provision for non-energy minerals - Monitoring landbanks. Actual mineral landbanks meet policy requirements as set out in the Minerals Local Plan for sand and gravel; limestone for crushed rock and cement; and brick clays. In terms of shales for cement manufacture, there is a landbank shortfall which will be addressed by a proposal that has been approved subject to completion of a legal agreement. There are also shortfalls in the landbanks for silica sands at Moneystone Quarry and for anhydrite produced at Fauld Mine. Both these sites have the benefit of unimplemented allocations in the Mineral Local Plan.
- 33 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Ensure appropriate flexibility for provision of minerals. Since the adoption of the Minerals Local Plan 14 unallocated non-energy mineral reserves have been granted planning permission. In each case, exceptional circumstances (refer to MLP Policy 38) had to be demonstrated. The analysis indicates that in the majority of cases, the exceptional circumstances demonstrated were the same as the general examples listed in the Mineral Local Plan.
Mineral Policy Use. Of the 58 policies listed in the Minerals Local Plan, 8 policies have been found not to be used in any planning applications; reports to Planning Committee or for delegated decisions; or Decision Notices. In addition, 5 of the 7 proposals remain unimplemented. These findings will be taken into account during the review of the Mineral Local Plan.
Waste Core Output Indicators.
Amount of municipal waste arising, and managed by management type. The total amount of household waste managed has grown by 9% over the last 5 years. The amount of waste that is landfilled has however decreased between 2000/01 and 2004/05 by 18.5% and the amount that is recycled, composted and recovered has increased by 8%, 8% and 2% respectively. This is evidence that more sustainable methods of waste management are being encouraged and used. It is also important to note that the 2005 RSS target for recycling and composting has been met.
Capacity of new waste management facilities by type. II new facilities have been permitted between 1 April 2004 and 31 March 2005. 3 are for landfill (1 extension, 2 on-farm infills) with a total void capacity of 250,609 cubic metres. 2 are for composting with a total annual throughput of 24,999 tonnes of green waste. The remaining 6 sites are recycling and material reclamation facilities with a total annual throughput of 62,500 tonnes of waste. With regard to RSS targets, which specify the annual throughput capacity required by 2021, SCC will need to continue to review both waste arisings and treatment capacity annually. Further survey work needs to be also undertaken to establish the total capacity of all of the existing waste management facilities in Staffordshire, to establish if there is spare treatment capacity and if it is interchangeable between waste streams/materials, and to establish if a considerable number of new facilities are required in Staffordshire in order for the RSS targets to be met.
Waste Local Output Indicators.
Promotion of the waste hierarchy principle and the location criteria for waste treatment facilities. The nature of applications coming forward demonstrate that in terms of the ‘waste hierarchy’ principle set out in WLP Policy 2, (the promotion of recycling and composting before recovery of energy from waste and then disposal as the last option), there is a trend towards the development of recycling and
- 34 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 material reclamation facilities and composting rather than the development of major new landfills.
In spite of the ‘waste hierarchy’ principle and the strict criteria for considering on-farm landfills and extensions to existing landfill facilities (WLP Policies 8 and 10), sites for landfill however continue to be submitted and approved. 1 application was for an extension to an existing landfill, and 2 were for waste disposal on agricultural land. On-farm landfill sites are an attractive option being exempt from waste licensing and Landfill Tax.
Each of the 8 applications permitted for recycling and composting generally accord with the proximity principle set out in WLP Policy 2 by being close to an urban area / the source of waste. 3 of the recycling applications also generally accord with WLP Policies 12 and 14 by re-using existing or redundant buildings and by carrying out all of /or part of the waste operations within a building. 4 of the 6 recycling applications are also compliant with policy by being located on industrial estates.
One application was refused for an on-farm inert waste recycling and crushing facility. This proposal was deemed to not be in accordance with the principles of WLP Policy 2 (proximity principle) and was deemed to have an unacceptable adverse impact on the countryside by virtue of the scale and nature of the proposals and the increase in landscape and visual harm by being an open-air operation.
Management of all major waste streams by waste management type and monitoring the amount of waste to landfill. In 2003 about 14.5 million tonnes of waste was deposited at licensed waste management facilities in the West Midlands Region, of which 3 million tonnes of waste was deposited in Staffordshire. Of the total waste deposits: 44% is inert /construction and demolition waste; 1% is special waste; 19% is municipal waste; and 36% is industrial /commercial waste. Apart from the management of Special waste, landfill remains the primary waste management option. 63.5% of the waste is disposed to landfill; 22.4% of the waste is managed at waste transfer stations; 10.3% of the waste is managed at treatment facilities; 3.2% of the waste is managed at metal recycling sites (MRS) – scrapyards / ELV’s; and 0.7% of the waste is managed at civic amenity sites. Further survey work needs to be undertaken to establish what alternative treatment capacity is required in Staffordshire to avoid waste going to landfill.
Waste Policy Use. Of the 16 policies listed in the Waste Local Plan, 4 policies have not been used in applications, Committee and Delegated Reports and Decision Notices. These findings will be taken into account during the review of the Waste Local Plan.
- 35 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Significant Effects Indicators.
For this first AMR, it is not possible to report on the actual ‘significant effects’ of replacement policy. For the purposes of testing an indicator associated with one of the key sustainability objectives used in the proposed Sustainability Appraisal framework for the Minerals Core Strategy, the following objective has however been considered: Objective 10 – To protect and enhance designated sites of ecological importance. Within the County there are 65 Sites of Special Scientific Interest, 656 Sites of Biological Importance and 452 Biodiversity Alert Sites. 4 active mineral and waste sites contain a SSSI within their boundary, 27 contain a SBI-Grade 1 and 12 contain a Biological Alert Site. 6%, 4% and 3% of the total number of SSSI’s, SBI’s and BAS’s are therefore affected respectively. This analysis provides a ‘baseline’ indication for safeguarding ecologically important sites but other indicators would need to be developed if it is intended to show how ecological sites can be enhanced through mineral and waste development.
Data Collection Issues. The report has highlighted gaps in data collection that need to be rectified in order to effectively monitor the planning policies for minerals and waste development in Staffordshire. In particular the following difficulties have been encountered:
• Providing data for the Core Output Indicators relating to alternative aggregates. Minerals data provided by West Midlands Regional Aggregates Working Party is not-up-to-date and the most recent figures are for 2003. Also secondary and recycled aggregates data is not available at a Mineral Planning Authority level. There is therefore a need for a review of this Core Output Indicator at a higher/National level.
• Providing data for the Waste Core Output Indicators. The definition of Indicator 6a is to provide data on the capacity of new waste management facilities by type. ‘New’ facilities are defined as those which have planning permission and are operable. Whilst we have provided data on sites that have been granted planning permission, the capacity information if stated on the planning application, and the site operation status if monitored already by the County Regulation Team it is considered that the definition is overly complicated as it requires the planning authority to confirm when exactly the site is operational and this may not happen for a period of up to three years from the grant of planning permission. It is considered that the emphasis should be monitoring the amount of permitted capacity and a review of the indicator is required at a higher/National level. Alternatively there will be a requirement for decision notices to require the applicant by condition to inform the Waste Planning Authority once the new facility is operational in order to ensure that this indicator is accurately reported.
• The data on licensed waste management facilities is Environment Agency data. At the time of writing the Strategic Waste Management
- 36 - Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Assessment had not yet been published and the data used in this report were draft figures for 2002/2003.
• There is concern about the number of significant effects indicators that might have to be monitored. Staffordshire County Council is at a very early stage of the Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Minerals and Waste Development Framework and collection and analysis of much of the objectives data has staffing and resource issues. It has therefore not been possible for the Annual Monitoring Report 2005 to monitor all of the significant effects indicators.
Developing the Annual Monitoring Report.
The Annual Monitoring Report will evolve as the Local Development Documents are produced, related monitoring systems are established and trend data becomes available.
By next year further sustainability appraisal work should have been undertaken. It should be, therefore, possible to consider more broadly indicators for ‘significant effects’ although we will still be in a position where we are predicting the effects of replacement policy.
With regard to secondary and recycled aggregate data, future reports could improve the data provided by including recycling capacities for each permitted site using data taken from planning applications.
It is also our intention for future reports to evaluate the effectiveness of the Statement of Community Involvement and report on any amendments required to the to the way in which local people and stakeholders are involved in planning for minerals and waste development, and the types of groups consulted. Also once each Local Development Document or Supplementary Planning Document has been adopted we will contact all parties who have been involved in their production with a customer satisfaction survey and ask for feedback. The results of these monitoring exercises and whether or not the public were satisfied with the overall consultation process will be reported as part of the Annual Monitoring Report and where necessary will inform what changes are to be made to the Statement of Community Involvement methods.

Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 Appendix 5: Glossary of Terms.
Adoption: The final confirmation of a development plan or Local Development Document (LDD) as having statutory status by a Local Planning Authority (LPA).
Annual Monitoring Report (AMR): A report produced by the local planning authority and submitted to the Government which includes an assessment of:
¾ whether the policies and related targets or milestones in the Mineral or Waste Development Documents have been met; ¾ what impact the policies are having on national, regional and local targets identified in Mineral or Waste Development Documents; ¾ whether the policies in the Mineral or Waste Development Documents need adjusting or replacing; ¾ if policies or proposals need changing and suggested actions to achieve this.
Apportionment: The amount of minerals or waste management facilities that need to be provided in the region to meet the Governments national demand forecasts. Mineral apportionment guidelines are prepared by the Regional Aggregates Working Party (RAWP) and are agreed by each of the mineral planning authorities in the region. (See also ‘Regional Aggregates Working Party’). Waste apportionments are set by the Regional Planning Body.
Area Action Plan: These should be used to provide the planning framework for areas where significant change or conservation is needed.
Community Strategy: A strategy prepared by local authorities to help deliver local community aspirations, under the Local Government Act 2000.
Core Strategy: This type of development plan document should set out the key elements of the planning framework for the area.
¾ For minerals, the core strategy should take account of the need to contribute appropriately to national, regional and local requirements at acceptable social, environmental costs; and ¾ For waste, it should set out a planning strategy for sustainable waste management, which enables adequate provision of waste management facilities in appropriate locations.
Core Output Indicator: Authorities are required to monitor a set of local development framework core output indicators as a consistent data source. The Office for the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) published ‘Local Development Framework Monitoring: A Good Practice Guide’, lists the core output indicators which require monitoring. The main purpose of output indicators is to measure quantifiable physical activities that are directly related to, and are a consequence of, the implementation of planning policies.
Departure: A proposed development that is not in accordance with the adopted local development plan, but which the local planning authority proposes to grant planning permission, subject to the Government not intervening.
Development: Development is defined under the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act as "the carrying out of building, engineering, mining or other
- 77 -
Staffordshire County Council – Development Services Directorate December 2005 Minerals and Waste Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2005 operation in, on, over or under land, or the making of any material change in the use of any building or other land."
Development Document: Refer to definitions of ‘Local Development Document’ and ‘Mineral or Waste Development Document’.
Development Plan: The documents setting out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land and buildings in Staffordshire. It includes the existing Structure and Local Plans (until September 2007) and Regional Spatial Strategies and Development Plan Documents prepared as part of the Minerals & Waste Development Framework.
Development Plan Document (DPD): These will contain policies and proposals. They are subject to independent examination and there will be a right for those making representations to be heard at an independent examination. A development plan document forms part of the development plan.
Examination: This is an important stage in the preparation of a development plan document and is carried out by an independent person (the planning inspector) appointed by the First Secretary of State. The inspector’s role is to consider the development plan document as a whole and to determine its soundness. The inspector will consider all the representations made on the submitted development plan document. The procedure for consideration of representations may involve written procedures, informal hearings and formal hearings.
First Secretary of State: The lead Minister for all policies relating to Town & Country Planning, having powers of intervention on Development Plans and Planning Casework under certain circumstances.
General Conformity: A process by which Regional Planning Bodies consider whether a Development Plan Document is in “general conformity” with the Regional Spatial Strategy. Also, all other DPDs must conform to a Core Strategy DPD.
Independent Examination: The process by which an Independent Planning Inspector may publicly examine a ‘Development Plan Document’ or a ‘Statement of Community Involvement’, and any representations, before issuing a binding report.
Local Development Document (LDD): The collective term for development plan documents, supplementary planning documents and statement of community involvement. For minerals and waste planning, the terms mineral development document and waste development document are used.
Local Development Framework (LDF): These will be a ‘portfolio’ of local development documents which collectively deliver the spatial planning strategy for the local planning authority’s area. A LDF will be produced by either a District Council or Unitary Authority whereas the mineral and waste development framework for Staffordshire will be produced by the County Council. The LDF should include a core strategy; site specific proposals; area action plans (where needed); a local development scheme; a statement of community involvement; proposals map; and an annual monitoring report.

Local Output Indicator: The main purpose of output indicators is to measure quantifiable physical activities that are directly related to, and are a consequence of, the implementation of planning policies. Local output indicators are key policy areas which the local authority considers require monitoring.
Minerals or Waste Development Document: Will be either development plan documents or supplementary planning documents that form part of the mineral and waste development framework.
Minerals and Waste Development Framework: This will consist of a portfolio of mineral or waste development documents. The diagram in Appendix B illustrates the proposed initial contents of the Mineral and Waste Development Framework.
Minerals Local Plan (MLP): Current mineral policies and proposals for Staffordshire are found in the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Minerals Local Plan 1994 – 2006 (refer also to the Structure Plan). The MLP is ‘saved’ for three years from 28 September 2004.
Mineral Policy Statements (MPS): Contain national planning policy for mineral development and supporting material e.g. good practice guides. They will replace guidance currently found in Mineral Planning Guidance (MPGs).
Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004: The Act updates elements of the 1990 Town & Country Planning Act. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduces:
¾ a statutory system for regional planning; ¾ a new system for local planning; reforms to the development control and compulsory purchase and compensation systems; and ¾ removes crown immunity from planning controls.
Planning Policy Statements (PPS): Contain national planning policy and supporting material e.g. good practice guides. They will replace guidance currently found in Planning Policy Guidance (PPG's).
Proposals Map: Illustrates the spatial extent of all the policies in development plan documents, together with any saved policies. It will be revised as each new development plan document is adopted. Proposals for changes to the adopted proposals map accompany submitted development plan documents in the form of a submission proposals map.
Regional Aggregates Working Party (RAWP): A working group consisting of local authority officers, representatives of the aggregates industry and central government established to consider the supply and demand for aggregate minerals.
Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS): The RSS set out the policies in relation to the development and use of land in the region and establishes broad locations and criteria for development. Policies address subjects such as housing, transport, economic development, the environment, mineral supply and waste management.
‘Saved’ policies/plan: Policies within the existing Structure Plans and Local Plans that are saved for a time period during replacement production of Local Development Documents. - 79 -

Significant Effects Indicator: Significant effects are monitored by using indicators associated with sustainability objectives derived through the process of sustainability appraisal.
Site Specific Allocations and Policies: Where land is allocated for mineral or waste development, this should be made in a site allocation development plan document or area action plan.
Soundness: A term referring to the justification of a Development Plan Document (DPD). A Development Plan Document (DPD) is considered “sound” and based upon good evidence unless it can be shown to be unsound.
Statement of Community Involvement (SCI): This development document sets out the standards which the planning authority will be required to achieve in relation to involving the community in the preparation, alteration and continuing review of all mineral and waste development documents. The SCI will not be a DPD but will be subject to independent examination.
Statutory: Required by law (statute), usually through an Act of Parliament.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA): An environmental assessment of certain plans and programmes, including those in the field of planning and land use, which complies with the EU Directive 2001/42/EC. The environmental assessment involves the:
¾ preparation of an environmental report; ¾ carrying out of consultations; ¾ taking into account of the environmental report and the results of the consultations in decision making; ¾ provision of information when the plan or programme is adopted; and ¾ showing that the results of the environment assessment have been taken into account.
Structure Plan: The Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Structure Plan 1996 – 2011provides the strategic context for local plans within Staffordshire including the MLP & WLP. The Structure Plan is ‘saved’ for three years from 28 September 2004 but thereafter, ceases to have effect.
Supplementary Planning Document (SPD): These will provide guidance to supplement the policies and proposals in the development plan documents. They will not form part of the development plan or be subject to independent examination but will be a material consideration in making planning decisions.
Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG): These documents currently provide guidance to support policies and proposals found in Local Plans and Structure Plans. These documents will be replaced by Supplementary Planning Documents.
Sustainability Appraisal: The purpose of sustainability appraisal is to appraise the social, environmental and economic effects of policies so that decisions can be made that accord with the objectives of sustainable development. The appraisal process incorporates the requirements of Strategic Environmental Assessment. (See also ‘Strategic Environmental Assessment’).

Sustainable Development: A widely used definition drawn up by the World Commission on Environment and Development in 1987: "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". The Government has set out four aims for sustainable development in its strategy “A Better Quality of Life, a Strategy for Sustainable Development in the UK”. The four aims, to be achieved at the same time, are: social progress which recognises the needs of everyone; effective protection of the environment; the prudent use of natural resources; and maintenance of high and stable levels of economic growth and employment.
Waste Local Plan (WLP): Current waste management policies for Staffordshire are found in the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Waste Local Plan 1998 – 2011 (refer also to the Structure Plan). The WLP is ‘saved’ for three years from 28 September 2004.
