Executive Summary

This AM2013 report for London has been prepared from returns made by the operators of quarries, wharves and rail depots in London in response to a London wide survey, together with data on applications from London Boroughs. The report also puts the findings in the context of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Guidance on the Managed Aggregates Supply System and the London Plan.

The National Planning Policy Framework

 The NPPF requires MPAs to make provision for a steady and adequate supply of minerals; to define mineral safeguarding areas; to safeguard wharves, rail heads and certain aggregate processing facilities and plant  The NPPF requires MPAs to participate in an Aggregates Working Party (AWP); to prepare an annual Local Aggregates Assessment (LAA); to make provision for the land won or other elements of their LAA in their mineral plans, taking account of the advice of the AWP and the National Aggregate Coordinating Group (NCG) as appropriate.

Guidance on the Managed Aggregate Supply System

 AWPs are to produce an annual report on minerals activity in their area, provide technical advice to MPAs on the adequacy of an LAA, and provide an assessment on the position of overall demand and supply in its area, including whether, in its view, the area is making a full contribution towards meeting both national and local needs

London Plan

 The Plan requires four London Boroughs to make provision together for a landbank of at least 5Mt of land–won aggregate through designations in their local plans, and to maintain that level of provision throughout the plan period to 2031. This in effect requires a provision to be made London-wide for at least 0.7mtpa.

Land-won Sand and Gravel

 Sales in 2013 were nearly 0.4Mt, a second year in which sales were only some 50% of the provision sought in the London Plan.

 Permitted reserves of sand and gravel were some 1.4Mt, limiting any potential for the London Plan provision being met regularly. However, in 2013 two applications were submitted to extract some 4Mt of aggregate in total; they were undetermined at the end of 2013.

Marine Dredged Sand and Gravel

 Sales of marine dredged sand and gravel from London wharves was some 4.4Mt in 2013, 0.6Mt more than the 2012 figure. Three wharves accounted for over 80% of sales.

 London continues to be heavily dependent on marine aggregate which now provides 50% of its primary aggregate supplies.

Imports of Crushed Rock

 Sales of crushed rock from rail depots and wharves in London in 2013 amounted to 3.6Mt, an increase of 0.2Mt over the 2012 figure.

 Nearly 90% of all the crushed rock to rail depots was imported from the South West and East Midlands.

Aggregate Recycling

 It is estimated by GLA that 7.9Mt of CDEW produced in London in 2012 was recycled, largely as aggregate, providing some 40% of London’s aggregate supply.

Environment

 All the sand and gravel quarries in London, hence all the 0.4Mt sand and gravel sales and the 1.4 Mt of reserves, are in the Metropolitan Green Belt

 In contrast, all the R Thames wharves and rail depots are in the built up area. None are in the Metropolitan Green Belt or in a site covered by a national environmental designation, such as an SSSI or NNR.

 Well over 9Mt of primary aggregate supplies are transported to London or within London by sea or by rail

Aggregate Consumption

 The 2013 survey did not include detailed data that would provide accurate consumption figures for London.

 Comparing the data recorded in 2013 with that in the wider survey of 2009 which included figures for cross boundary movements, it is likely that London primary aggregate consumption was no more than the 9.4Mt in 2009.

Local Plans and LAAs

 Three of the four named London Boroughs in the London Plan have adopted Core Strategies, but only LB Redbridge has an adopted Minerals Plan.

 All four of the named Boroughs have prepared LAAs which propose to make provision for their London Plan apportionment.

 The delay by three London Boroughs in submitting and adopting plans with allocations for minerals, and the lack of planning applications by industry in response to an adopted minerals plan are contributory factors to the low sales figure and the London Plan provisions not being met.

National & Local Needs

 On the basis of the adopted Minerals Plan for Redbridge and the LAAs for Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, and the 29 Boroughs, London would be proposing to make a suitable contribution to local and national needs.

 However, this will only be realised through applications yet to be determined, local plan allocations and industry opening quarries and increasing sales.

1. London Aggregates Working Party

1.1 The London Aggregates Working Party (LAWP) was formed in 2003, completing the coverage of Aggregate Working Parties (AWPs) for all of England. The Working Party is drawn from officers of the mineral planning authorities (MPAs) in London (the London Boroughs), the Greater London Authority (GLA), the minerals industry through the Mineral Products Association (mpa) and the British Aggregates Association (BAA), and government representatives from the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG). The Crown Estate, the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) and Port of London Authority (PLA) are also represented, together with representative from adjoining AWPs in eastern and south east England.

1.2 The working party is a technical advisory body with the task of monitoring the supply and demand for aggregates at the London wide scale. LAWP advises both the GLA, which is responsible for the London Plan including minerals policies for London, and government through DCLG and the National Aggregates Coordinating Group.

2. Scope of this report

2.1 As with previous AM surveys, this AM2013 report is primarily a monitor at the London wide scale. Data on primary aggregates sales from land-won sand and gravel sites, wharves and rail depots for 2013 has been provided by operators via the AWP technical secretary who collated the individual site returns. The PLA has also assisted with data on wharves. Only three boroughs had active sand and gravel workings, but four times as many had one or more wharves and/or rail depots. An inventory of quarries, wharves and rail depots is provided in Appendix A.

2.2 AM2013 also provides an update on the progress of Local Plans for those boroughs with aggregate resources – see section 11 below and Appendix C.

2.3 The planning context for this report is the National Planning Policy Framework 1 (NPPF) and Guidance on the Managed Aggregate Supply System2 at the national level, and the London Plan3 published in July 2011 as the overall strategic plan for the capital.

3. The National Planning Policy Framework

3.1 The NPPF states that minerals are essential to support economic growth and our quality of life. MPAs should, inter alia: - identify and include policies for extraction of mineral resource of local and national importance in their area whilst taking account of the contribution that substitute or secondary materials might make to mineral supplies, - define Mineral Safeguarding Areas and adopt appropriate policies in order that mineral resources are not needlessly sterilised, - safeguard existing planned and potential rail heads, links to quarries, wharfage and processing facilities for bulk transport by rail, sea or inland waterways of minerals, including recycled, secondary and marine-dredged materials - safeguard planned and potential sites for concrete batching, the manufacture of coated materials, other concrete products and the handling, processing and distribution of substitute, recycled and secondary aggregate material - set out policies to encourage prior extraction of minerals where practicable and environmentally feasible - recognise that some noisy short term activities are unavoidable to facilitate minerals extraction - put in place policies to ensure that worked land is reclaimed at the earliest opportunity and that high quality restoration and aftercare takes place.

3.2 MPAs should plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates by - preparing an annual Local Aggregates Assessment (LAA), either individually or jointly by agreement with other MPAs - participate in the operation of an Aggregates Working Party and take the advice of the AWP into account when preparing their LAA - make provision for the land won and other elements of their LAA in their mineral plans, taking account of the advice of the AWP and the National Aggregate Coordinating Group (NCG) as appropriate.

3.3 Guidance on the Managed Aggregates Supply System (MASS) was issued in October 2012. The Guidance set out a ‘bottom up’ process in which LAAs are a key element. The AWP is to draw together the figures for all the LAAs of the MPAs in its area and, when forwarding those figures to the NCG, it is to advise whether in its view the area is making a full contribution towards meeting both national and local needs. The NCG is to consider whether the totals provided by the AWPs make appropriate provision to maintain a steady and adequate supply of aggregate.

4. The London Plan

4.1 The London Plan was prepared and adopted before the NPPF and MASS were issued. Policy 5.20 sets out the strategy to ensure an adequate supply of aggregates to support construction in London, including that London should make provision for the maintenance of a landbank (ie seven years supply) of at least 5 million tonnes of land-won aggregates throughout the plan period until 2031. Local Plans should make provision for maintenance of that landbank through an apportionment of: a at least 1.75 million tonnes to LB Havering b at least 0.7 million tonnes to LB Redbridge c at least 1.75 million tonnes to LB Hillingdon d at least 0.7 million tonnes to LB Hounslow (This in effect requires provision to be made London-wide for at least 0.7mtpa)

4.2 The Plan recognises that there remains some potential for extraction beyond the boroughs identified, including in the Lee Valley. Other boroughs with aggregate resources should consider opportunities in line with policies in the plan, including identifying and safeguarding aggregate resources in their Local Plans.

4.3 The London Plan reflects the NPPF in seeking to maximise recycling and re-use of construction and demolition waste to reduce demand on primary aggregates, and MPAs are to support the development of aggregate recycling facilities in their Local Plans, subject to local amenity conditions. In recognition of the heavy dependence of London on imports of hard rock and marine-dredged aggregate, the Plan requires the boroughs in their Local Plans to safeguard wharves and rail heads with existing or potential capacity for aggregate distribution. The Plan also reflects the NPPF in seeking a reduction in the environmental impact of aggregates through appropriate aftercare, restoration and re-use of mineral sites following extraction.

4.4 Draft Further Alterations to the London Plan were issued in January 2014. Responses were sought by 10 April 2014. The Alterations did not propose any change to Policy 5.20 on Aggregates. However, there were two additions in the text, one relating to safeguarding sites for aggregate plant, and another not requiring 29 Boroughs, most of which have no potential for land-won extraction, to produce a Local Aggregate Assessment. The GLA has taken on the task of preparing one LAA for the 29 Boroughs. Separate responses to these additions were made by some LAWP members.

5. Quarries

Land-won Sand and Gravel

5.1 There were only 3 active sand and gravel quarries in London in 2013, in Bromley, Havering and Hillingdon (see Figure 1 and Appendix A). South Hall Farm and Spring Farm in LB Havering are paired to take advantage of using the same plant site at Rainham.

5.2 Sales, permissions and reserves data for sand and gravel for the ten years 2004- 2013 are shown in Tables 1, 2 & 3 and Figures 2, 3 & 4. Sales have declined in the last five years to less than 0.7Mt, and were less than 0.4Mt tonnes in 2013, a second year in which sales have been some 50% of the London Plan figure.

5.3 Nearly 8Mt has been extracted over the past decade, but less than 1.7Mt has been replaced. Permitted reserves have declined from over 4Mt to less than 1.4Mt at the end of 2013 – see Table 3 and Figure 3. Reserves would have been less than 1.0Mt at the end of 2013, but some 450,000 tonnes of permitted reserves under the plant site at Rainham had not been included in the figures in previous years. The low level of permitted reserves limits the potential for the provision in the London Plan of 0.7mtpa being achieved unless minerals local plans are prepared and applications submitted and permitted.

5.4 However, in 2013 an application to extract some 2.5Mt of aggregate was submitted at Rectory Farm in LB Hounslow, and an application to extract 1.5Mt of minerals was submitted at Wennington Farm, Rainham in LB Havering. Both remained undetermined at 31 December 2013 – see Appendix B. In addition a further application for extraction of some 1.1Mt of aggregate was submitted in February 2014 to LB Havering at East Hall Farm, Wennington, Rainham. These applications offer the prospect for the two Boroughs meeting their London Plan apportionment for a ten year period or more.

5.5 LB Redbridge has adopted a Minerals Plan identifying some 1.2Mt of aggregate in preferred areas of search in which applications for extraction would/might be acceptable, and has also identified further areas of search. LB Hounslow in its Proposed Local Plan intends to safeguard the Rectory Farm site. Industry needs to respond to the LB Redbridge plan. The other two London Boroughs with aggregate apportionments in the London Plan, LB Havering and LB Hillingdon, have yet to bring forward local plans identifying sites and areas of search to meet their London Plan apportionments – see section 11 below.

6. Wharves

Landings of Marine Dredged Sand and Gravel

6.1 There were 13 active wharves receiving aggregate via the R Thames in London in 2013 – see Appendix A. Eight of these landed some 4.4Mt of marine dredged sand and gravel – see Table 4 and Figure 4. This is the fourth year running that sales have increased from the low of 3Mt in 2010.

6.2 In 2013 three wharves together handled some 3.5Mt, over 80% of the total marine dredged aggregate landings.

6.3 The origin of the marine dredged sand and gravel landed at R Thames wharves is principally from the North Sea, East English Channel and Thames Estuary.

Crushed Rock Imports

6.4 Crushed rock was landed at 5 wharves in London in 2013. Sales at over 0.7Mt include at least 0.1Mt transferred from other London sites. Therefore imports in 2013 were some 0.6Mt, slightly less than in 2012 - see Table 4 and Figure 4.

6.5 100% of sales was recorded as sold for roadstone, railway ballast, concreting aggregate, armourstone or other screened and graded aggregate. Sources included North Wales, Northern Ireland, and Somerset.

Land-won Sand and Gravel

6.6 Although most wharves primarily handle marine dredged sand and gravel or crushed rock, some 120,000 tonnes of land-won sand and gravel was received from Essex.

7. Rail Depots

Crushed Rock

7.1 There were 17 active rail depots in London in 2013 – see Appendix A. All of them handled some imported crushed rock, with sales amounting to some 3.1Mt, an increase of 0.3Mt from the 2012 figure – see Table 5 and Figure 5. Four of the rail depots handled over 50% of the rock imports, each handling over 300,000 tonnes.

7.2 Some 2.7Mt of crushed rock, 89% of the total, was imported from the South West (2.1Mt) and East Midlands (0.6Mt), with the remainder from Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Norway.

Land-won Sand and Gravel

7.3 Five of the rail depots together handled some 120,000 tonnes of land-won sand and gravel in 2013, with the majority from Dorset.

Marine Dredged Sand and Gravel

7.4 In 2013 London rail depots handled some 1.2Mt of marine dredged aggregate. Seven depots handled some 85% of this total, each handling over 100,000 tonnes or more. Some 60% (0.7Mt) of the marine aggregate was received from wharves on R Thames in London, with some 40% (0.5Mt) from wharves in Kent and Medway. (NB. The 0.7Mt is already accounted for in the wharves figure of 4.4Mt in paragraph 6.1 above, and double counting needs to be avoided)

8. Aggregates Recycling

8.1 Recycled aggregates and secondary materials were not included in the AM2013 survey. However at the end of 2012 GLA estimated that of the 20Mt of waste produced in London, 48%, some 9.6Mt comprised CDEW. Some 82% of this, 7.9Mt was recycled, and 18%, 1.7Mt went to landfill. The objective is for 95% to be recycled by 2031 with over 80%, over 7Mt, recycled as aggregate.

8.2 On this basis in 2012 CDEW provided some 40% of London’s aggregate supply.

9. Environment

9.1 The 2013 returns show that all active and inactive sand and gravel quarries in London, and hence all the 0.4Mt sand and gravel sales and 1.4Mt reserves, are sites in the Metropolitan Green Belt. No national environmental designations such as SSSIs or NNRs were affected and none of the active aggregate wharves on R Thames or the rail depots are located in any national environmental designation or are in the MGB. Well over 9Mt of primary aggregate supply for the capital is transported by sea or rail to London wharves and rail depots.

10. Aggregate Consumption

10.1 The AM2009 four yearly national survey of primary aggregates showed that London consumed 9.4Mt of primary aggregates in that year, 1.5Mt of land-won sand and gravel, 3.8Mt of marine dredged sand and gravel and 4.1Mt of crushed rock.

10.2 The 2013 survey does not include data to give accurate consumption figures. However, the 2013 data shows that compared to 2009, although imports of marine dredged sand and gravel have increased by 0.6Mt, imports of rock by rail and sea have fallen by a similar tonnage. If land-won consumption stayed at the same level as in 2009, despite sales from London quarries falling from 1.1Mt in 2009 to 0.4Mt in 2013, it appears likely that London consumed no more than 9.4Mt of primary aggregates, and possibly less.

11. Local Plans and LAAs

11.1 Three of the four key Boroughs named in the London Plan. LB Havering and LB Redbridge in east London, and LB Hillingdon in west London, have adopted Core Strategies which include policies for minerals, and LB Havering has adopted a DPD with policies for minerals. But only LB Redbridge has an adopted Minerals Plan. This safeguards preferred areas for extraction with a potential reserve of some 1.2Mt of sand and gravel which would meet the London Plan apportionment of 100,000tpa for the next decade. The Plan also identifies additional minerals search areas, and the LAA confirms the objective of being able to meet the London Plan apportionment to 2031. But no applications have been submitted by industry, and there are therefore no active quarries in this Borough. LB Redbridge cannot deliver its London Plan apportionment until industry applies for aggregate extraction.

11.2 LB Hounslow has prepared an LAA, consulted on a Proposed Local Plan and intends to make a formal submission to the Secretary of State in October 2014. Both the LAA and draft plan propose to safeguard a site at Rectory Farm which could provide some 2.5Mt of aggregate and meet the LB Hounslow London Plan apportionment of 100,000tpa for the plan period and beyond. An application, including aggregate extraction, has been submitted for this site but remains undetermined at April 2014.

11.3 LB Hillingdon intends to bring forward Part 2 of a Local Plan forming a review of the Core Strategy in 2014 which would include minerals and site allocations. A draft LAA has been prepared, and will be consulted on in May/June 2014. The LAA recognises that current levels of permitted reserves are not sufficient for a seven year landbank. LB Hillingdon propose to allocate three Minerals Safeguarding Sites in their Local Plan which would make up the shortfall, meet the London Plan provisions and provide a landbank of some 14 years.

11.4 LB Havering, having adopted a DPD including policies for minerals, has no programme for a plan including sites for minerals. A draft LAA has been prepared that recognises sales at the London Plan apportionment level of 250,000tpa has not taken place since 2007. The LAA looks to the London Plan apportionment to be met from current, as yet undetermined, applications which include some 2.6Mt of aggregate. These could provide for only part of the plan period. To maintain a landbank at the London Plan apportionment level, Havering will seek further reserves from the mineral safeguarding areas identified in the DPD.

11.5 The delay in minerals plan preparation, submission and adoption is a contributory factor to the landbank of permitted reserves and sales falling well below the London Plan figures. The delay in planning applications from industry, particularly to the LB Redbridge adopted plan, is also a contributory factor.

11.6 Of the other 29 London Boroughs only one, LB Bexley, has a single active sand and gravel quarry, and some others are so built up there is no prospect of an active site. However, all Boroughs are minerals planning authorities and should plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates, and all the 13 active aggregate wharves in London, and 12 of the 16 active rail depots are in these Boroughs. These wharves and rail depots are vital to aggregate supplies, handling well over 9Mt, perhaps 90% of primary aggregates consumed by London. A strategic assessment of aggregates for London would not be complete without an LAA for these Boroughs.

11.7 Accordingly, the GLA has prepared an LAA for submission to LAWP on behalf of the 29 Boroughs. This confirms that subject to the maintenance of aggregate wharves and rail depots in London, the licensed and further reserves of marine aggregates and the permitted reserves and further resources of hard rock in areas supplying London can maintain supplies to 2031 and beyond.

12. National & Local Needs

12.1 The number of active sand and gravel quarries in London has declined, and aggregate sales in the last 5 years has been some 0.5Mt, 50% of that in the previous 5 years. To compensate, marine aggregate sales and crushed rock imports by rail have increased over the last 5 years. Subject to the safeguarding of aggregate wharves and rail depots, the LAA for the 29 London Boroughs establishes that sources of supply are capable of maintaining or increasing the current tonnages. However, if London is to make a suitable contribution to local and national needs, the land-won landbank and sales need to reflect the London Plan figures.

12.2 The London Plan seeks provision to be made for a landbank of at least 5Mt of aggregate throughout the Plan period, ie some 0.7mtpa. Such a landbank has not been maintained throughout the last 10 years, reflecting the lack of applications to compensate for aggregate extraction. Over the same period permitted reserves have declined from over 4Mt to 1.4Mt. At the end of 2013 the landbank was just 2 years and sales in 2013 were some 0.4Mt. However, applications submitted in 2013 and 2014 for over 5Mt of aggregate, as yet undetermined, offer the prospect of significantly increasing the landbank.

12.3 The LAAs of the 4 named Boroughs in the London Plan propose provision to meet the London Plan figures for land-won extraction. On this basis London would be proposing to make a suitable contribution to local and national needs, not making an undue call upon imports. However, this will only be realized through applications yet to be determined, local plan allocations and industry opening quarries and increasing sales.
