North Yorkshire is comprised of North Yorkshire County Council, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, North York Moors National Park Authority and City of York Council. Council South Yorkshire includes Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Councils and Sheffield City Council. West Yorkshire comprises Leeds City Council, Calderdale Council, Bradford, Y Kirklees and Wakefield Metropolitan District Councils. East Riding and North Lincolnshire includes East orkshire Riding of Yorkshire Council, Kingston Upon Hull City Council, North East Lincolnshire Council and North Lincolnshire Council. The Membership of the AWP is set out in Appendix A 'Yorkshire & Humber AWP & Membership'. Humber The 2014 report provides data and analysis of sales, reserves and landbanks of primary land-won AM2014 aggregate for the ten year period 2004 to 2013. For some sub-regions data is either incomplete or missing, this will be updated in future reports where data becomes available. The previous technical advice of the Aggregate Working Party was that aggregate provision and landbanks should be calculated using a rolling 7 year average sales figure. This advice has now been reviewed and a 10 year rolling average is now used in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). Local Aggregate Assessments for the member authorities also provide reviews of landbanks using a 10 year rolling average alongside other relevant local information. 3 1 Yorkshire & Humber Cheshire Aggregate sales W 1.1 During the 2013 monitoring period total aggregate land-won sand and gravel sales fell slightly by est 1.2 per cent from 2.54mt in 2012 to 2.51mt. This is above the three year average of 2.50mt per annum and and data illustrates a relatively stable supply pattern since 2010 when sales were recorded at 2.56mt. Chester This is far lower than sales figures experienced between 2004 to 2008 when sales were recorded at an average of 4.31mt per annum but is reflection of the wider economic market. Future monitoring will Council enable a more thorough analysis of post-2008 sales patterns in the region.

This continues the upward trend experienced in the region since 2011 when sales were recorded at the lowest level for over ten years. Sales fell sharply in 2009 from a pre-2008 average of approximately 12mt per annum to an average of approximately 7.2mt. This reflects the conditions of the wider economic market and is in line with the average percentage fall in sales levels for aggregate land-won sand and gravel.

Whilst data relating to sales is not currently available, landing figures are a reasonable representation of sales due to the relatively low level of stockpiled materials W at wharves in the area. est and Aggregate reserves Chester 1.4 Aggregate sand and gravel reserves increased by nearly 10 per cent during 2013 from 40.71mt in 2012 to 44.48mt as at 31 December 2013. This increase is directly attributable to the 4.1mt rise in Council recorded reserves for the East Riding and North Lincolnshire sub-region, but does not necessarily represent any release of new reserve due to issues with monitoring in previous years. Please refer to Chapter East Riding and North Lincolnshire. Reserves also increased slightly in the South and West Y orkshire Yorkshire sub-region where reserves increased by 0.14mt due to the inclusion of one site that previously had not made monitoring returns. In light of these two issues it will be important to closely monitor any & changes in reported reserve figures for sand and gravel in the sub-region.

The higher than expected reserve figure is due to the reclassification of reserves at certain sites and the inclusion of previously excluded reserves at others. Reserves fell in the North Yorkshire and East Riding and North Lincolnshire sub-regions but increased by just over two per cent in the South and West Yorkshire sub-region due to the reclassification of reserves. As with sand and gravel reserves it will be important to closely monitor any changes in reported reserve figures for crushed rock in both the Annual Monitoring Reports and authority's Local Aggregate Assessments. 5 Table 1.4 Aggregate crushed rock reserves (million tonnes) Cheshire Sub-region 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 W North Yorkshire 242.65 240.1 233.2 225.1 220.7 210.1 204.6 202.2 191.82 189.79 est South and West 93.7 65.1 62.8 60.8 58.8 90.5 78.14 76.67 78.71 80.36 and Yorkshire Chester East Riding and ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1.7 2.5 7.18 5.78 4.53 North Lincolnshire Council Total Yorkshire 336.35 305.2 296.0 285.9 279.5 302.3 285.2 286.1 276.3 274.7 and Humber Y orkshire & Humber AM2014 2 North Yorkshire 6 Cheshire 2 North Yorkshire 2.1 The North Yorkshire sub-region is comprised of North Yorkshire County Council, Yorkshire Dales W National Park, City of York Council and North York Moors National Park.

Sales had been Humber relatively stable at an average of 1.65mt per annum between 2009 to 2012. Whilst the fall in sales is only slight the pattern of sales will need to be monitored closely in the next monitoring period covering AM2014 2014 sales data. 2.4 Reserves of aggregate land-won sand and gravel have reduced by approximately 2.5 per cent from 19.1mt as at 31 December 2012 to 18.63mt.
