13 May 2016 Page 30 Executive Summary

This is the Dalradian Gold Limited (DGL) response to the Call for Evidence by the DoE on Permitted Development (PD) Rights for Mineral Exploration. DGL exercises PD rights in respect of exploratory borehole drilling and trenching but does not undertake seismic surveys. The focus of this submission is on exploratory borehole drilling, with reference made to trenching as appropriate.

DGL is in the advanced exploration phase of its project at Curraghinalt, Co Tyrone. The company routinely uses the existing PD regime to gather information on the concentration of minerals and their location.

It has a strong interest in the outcome of the review given the importance of being able to undertake its exploration programme promptly within an established regulatory regime.

Having compared the PD regimes in the other jurisdictions within the UK and Ireland it is clear that NI is unique in that it does not distinguish between activity associated with exploring for minerals and for petroleum (oil and gas).

The practices associated with exploratory drilling for petroleum are fundamentally different from those associated with mineral exploration since the rigs associated with the former are often larger and more permanent. Also, boreholes are typically deeper than would be necessary for mineral exploration and if successful often become production points as well.

DGL’s position is that the existing controls and safeguards on minerals exploration, which are established by the PD and other legislation, strike the right balance between business operations and environmental protection.

Given the different practices associated with petroleum exploration, there is a case for bringing NI into line with other jurisdictions and removing petroleum exploration from the mineral exploration Class. In England and the Ireland there is a separate PD regime for limited petroleum exploration. A similar approach in NI would allow for limited petroleum exploration before planning permission is required.

Page 31 1 1. Introduction & Background

1.1 On 14 March 2016, the Department of the Environment (NI) invited the submission of comments to inform their review of permitted development rights for mineral exploration as set out in Part 16 of the Schedule to the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015.

1.2 The central question in the call for evidence is as follows:

Do you believe that the existing provisions on permitted development rights for mineral exploration provide a suitable balance between supporting operational business activity and environmental protection?

1.3 This is the Dalradian Gold Limited (DGL) response.

1.4 The Department for Enterprise Trade and Industry (DETI) and the Crown Estates Commissioners (CEC) have together granted DGL base and precious metal Mineral Prospecting Licences for DG1, DG2, DG3 and DG4, in Counties Tyrone and Londonderry, an area of some 84,000 ha.

1.5 Although there are known base and precious metal occurrences throughout the prospecting licence areas, DGL’s current focus is Curraghinalt, in County Tyrone (in DG1), where the company is in the advanced exploration phase of its project. With a resource of 2.1 million ounces in the measured and indicated category and another 2.3 million in the inferred category, the deposit at Curraghinalt is the largest defined discovery of vein gold mineralisation in the UK and Ireland. By grade it is one of the most significant undeveloped deposits in the world.

1.6 Exploration drilling and trenching is an integral part of mineral exploration. It provides necessary information on the concentration of minerals and their location underground. This information is then used for a Feasibility Study which informs investment and financing decisions.

1.7 DGL routinely uses the NI PD rights in connection with the Curraghinalt project, having drilled over 250 boreholes in the area in the past 6 years. Appendix 1 contains a recent example of a prior notification submission for the drilling of boreholes. This includes a detailed Project Description as well as information on the environmental considerations arising, mitigation measures built into the process and the relevant regulatory framework which control the activity. Appendix 2 contains an equivalent submission for exploratory trenching.

1.8 The company has a strong interest in the outcome of this review insofar as it has the potential to impact upon its routine activities which are essential to the exploitation of the mineral resource in line with planning policy.

1.9 From a more strategic perspective, mining can provide high value add to GDP and industrial capacity building – additionality beyond the value associated with the aggregates industry. NI has strong mineral development potential. The mineral exploration regime should encourage private investment to identify mineral resources for

Page 32 2 potential development. This in turn supports development of a geological science information base for the jurisdiction without large expenditures of public funds. This encourages positive economic activity subject to sustainable and manageable environmental regulation and practices with minimal risk at the exploration stage. Furthermore, industry analysis (http://www.miningfacts.org/Economy/How-many-jobs- depend-on-the-mining-industry/ is that mining can be a significant economic multiplier.

1.10 Having experience in the mining industry, including in NI, and having undertaken a comparative analysis of the applicable mineral exploration regimes in other jurisdictions, DGL is of the view that the existing provisions on PD for mineral (distinguished from petroleum) exploration provide a suitable balance between supporting and encouraging ground level or grass roots mineral exploration operational activity as a prelude to potential high GDP value added projects, and environmental protection.

1.11 Like the Minister, DGL understands the context for the call for evidence and the review. Given the likely range of contributions from different stakeholders, this response is structured as follows:

• Section 2 briefly reviews the nature of the minerals resource available in NI;

• Section 3 considers the current and potential contribution of the minerals sector to the NI economy;

• Section 4 provides a technical review of the operational activity associated with mineral exploration, drawing out the differences between exploratory drilling for minerals and petroleum (oil and gas), as well as petroleum production (fracking);

• Section 5 considers the existing planning controls in NI in comparison to other jurisdictions within the UK and Ireland. Information on Canada, a jurisdiction with a long history of both types of exploration, is provided in Appendix 7;

• Section 6 reviews the non-planning controls in NI and comments on the regulatory regime as a whole;

• Section 7 concludes with response to the question posed in the call for evidence.

Page 33 3 2. Geological Potential of Northern Ireland

2.1 Northern Ireland has a long history of mineral production and its diverse geology is prospective for a range of mineral deposit styles. Historical production largely focused on iron ore, coal, lead and salt, with in excess of 2000 historic mine workings.

2.2 The Tellus Project, one of the most comprehensive regional data gathering exercises in Europe, gave a clearer picture of the mineral make-up of NI and confirmed its standing as having significant mineral resources with strong potential for exploitation.

2.3 According to DETI NI is ‘arguably the most prospective area of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland for precious metal deposits.’ Whilst this is DGL’s primary area of interest it is also important to note that DETI regards NI as one of the most prospective areas of the UK for base metal mineralisation which are also included in the exploration testing programme. The Department also sees opportunity for platinum group metals and rare earth elements. Further details are at Appendix 3.

2.4 The improved geophysical mapping and regional geochemical maps have prompted renewed interest in mineral prospecting, and new prospecting permits for precious and base metals have been issued as a result. There is potential to increase the economic contribution of the minerals sector to the NI economy from a relatively low base largely focused on aggregates. The next Section considers the current and potential economic contribution of the sector.

Page 34 4 3. Economic Contribution of the Minerals Sector

Current Position

3.1 DETI has confirmed that mineral exploration companies licensed by DETI to carry out prospecting activities in Northern Ireland reported a total licence expenditure of just under £50m attributable to exploration activities in Northern Ireland, for the period 2008 - 2014 (this figure includes goods and services sourced from outside Northern Ireland).

3.2 More generally, the aggregates industry in Northern Ireland directly employs some 4,200 people, produces approximately 24 million tons of aggregates per year and has a turnover of around £650 million per year (3% of NI GDP).1 A QPA fact sheet is at Appendix 4.

3.3 Statistics show that employment and GDP figures largely track the scale of the construction industry, with a notable reduction in both after a peak in 2007 which is clearly linked to the recession. This confirms the current dominance of the aggregates or quarry products part of the sector. Growing the precious and base minerals mining sector is clear additionality to the NI economy in this context.

3.4 In terms of the area local to Curraghinalt, according to the Quarry Products Association Northern Ireland, Fermanagh and Omagh quarries employ more than 700 people, and extract over £11m of raw product every year which after processing is worth £88m to the district’s economy. Minerals excavation clearly makes an important contribution to the economy of the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council area. Further information on the receiving local economic environment is at Appendix 5.

DGL’s Contribution

3.5 Results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment (2014) for the Curraghinalt gold deposit show that County Tyrone has the potential to host one of Europe’s most productive and highest grade goldmines.

3.6 Upon commencement of the underground exploration plans in 2013, the Curraghinalt project had a resource estimate of 4.4 million ounces of gold – this means the Curraghinalt project is one of the most sizeable gold projects in Europe.

3.7 Over £50 million has been invested by DGL so far in exploration, with further investment to follow as the project progresses.

3.8 DGL’s investments in Northern Ireland led to the creation of 127 jobs at the peak of the exploration and development programme. Currently over 40 people are employed directly, as well as the same indirectly and via contractor jobs. They are also working to

1 Figures derived from QPANI http://www.qpani.org/151218council_booklets.htm

Page 35 5 provide training in mining skills that will be needed to build and operate the eventual mine at Curraghinalt.

3.9 The Curraghinalt project will help reinvigorate the mining industry in Northern Ireland and create over 400 new jobs. Dalradian will employ at least 200 people during construction, and 200 during the mine’s operational period. The skills this mine will develop can provide well paid jobs for a generation, contributing to building a sustainable economy in the region and especially in the West. The information at Appendix 5 puts a contribution of this scale into context.

Minerals as a Basis for Economic Growth

3.10 The Programme for Government (Northern Ireland) 2011-2015 set out 82 commitments to deliver over the 4 years. Although there are no specific minerals related targets, the minerals industry plays an important part in delivering some of these commitments:

‘Contribute to rising levels of employment by supporting the promotion of over 24,000 new jobs’

‘Achieve £1 billion of investment in the Northern Ireland economy, with £375 million coming from Foreign Direct Investment’

‘Develop and implement a Strategy to reduce economic inactivity through skills, training, incentives and job creation’

‘Ensure 90% of large scale investment planning decisions are made within 6 months and applications with job creation potential are given additional weight.’

‘Upskill the working age population by delivering over 200,000 qualifications’

‘Support people (with an emphasis on young people) into employment by providing skills and training’

3.11 DGL and the wider minerals sector await, with interest, the PfG for the next term of the Assembly. It is anticipated that growing the economy will remain a key priority, particularly in light of recent statistics from ONS (April 2016) which show a 0.5% increase in unemployment in NI (6.2% up from 5.7%), with overall unemployment levels rising to 56,000 between December and February, making Northern Ireland’s unemployment rate higher than almost any other region in the UK. Both DUP and Sinn Fein have included targets of 50,000 new jobs in their respective Assembly manifestos.

3.12 Danske Bank's chief economist Angela McGowan has responded by saying:

"With two successive months of rising unemployment claimants, local policy makers must remain relentlessly focused on aligning investment in areas such as skills, education and infrastructure with our long-term economic goals.

"As we embark on creating a new Programme for Government in Northern Ireland there is still plenty of work to be done in terms of raising exports, increasing the number of new businesses formed and also ensuring that the region has the appropriate

Page 36 6 infrastructure to allow both local businesses and foreign investors to thrive and thereby support local job creation."

3.13 There is an increasing pressure on government to address this high rate of unemployment which will be worsened by the announcement of job losses from companies like Bombardier, JHT Gallaher and Michelin. The minerals industry has the potential to ease this. Private sector job creation and skilled workforces are now more important than ever, particularly west of the Bann.

Summary

3.14 Mineral development can provide high value added to GDP. For example a deposit with an average grade of 10 grams of gold per ton at $1250 an ounce, equates to $440 per ton in revenue. This theoretical example obviously excludes all mining and processing costs but illustrates the inherent value in the process. Typically some of these proceeds are reinvested in additional exploration and project growth leading to further job creation. Figures for quarrying, which is a key employer, are close to £10 per ton.

3.15 The mineral exploration regime should encourage private investment to identify mineral resources for potential development. To determine whether the regime is fit for purpose it is important to have an appreciation of the types of activity associated with exploration, particularly the distinction between drilling boreholes to explore for minerals and drilling for petroleum, and the further distinction with petroleum production (fracking). The next Section considers the technical aspects of drilling.

Page 37 7 4. A Technical Comparison – Mineral Exploration, Petroleum (Oil & Gas) Exploration and Petroleum Production (Fracking)

Summary

4.1 The process of exploring for minerals using exploration drill rigs, common in the minerals industry, is very different to that used for exploring for oil and gas (petroleum). Furthermore, the process of hydraulic fracking (petroleum production), widely utilised in the oil and gas industry, is different again and not used when exploring for minerals, particularly whilst exploring for precious metals such as gold and silver.

4.2 In short, the need for much larger drill rigs and footprints (pads) for petroleum exploration is driven by the much deeper holes required and the additional Health & Safety requirements which involve more space on site and more storage for significant amounts of fuel (etc). The differences are summarised in Figure 1 below:

Figure 1: Comparison between mineral & petroleum exploration activities

Page 38 8 Technical Comparison

4.3 This technical comparative analysis between petroleum (oil & gas) exploration and production, particularly fracking, and early mineral exploration makes clear that the methods, equipment, and purpose are widely different and are only similar in that they utilise a ‘drill’ to create a tubular hole into the earth.

4.4 Oil and gas drilling for exploration and for production utilises very large drilling rigs and involves the injection under pressure of a large amount of water, chemicals and/or sand in the course of drilling and completing a well. Hydraulic fracturing is a process to stimulate a natural gas, oil, or geothermal well to maximize extraction. Hydraulic fracturing (also hydro-fracturing, hydro-fracking, or fracking) is a well-stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a pressurised liquid. The process involves the high-pressure injection of 'fracking fluid' (primarily water, containing sand or other proppants suspended with the aid of thickening agents) into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum, and brine will flow more freely. When the hydraulic pressure is removed from the well, small grains of hydraulic fracturing proppants (either sand or aluminum oxide) hold the fractures open.

4.5 Hydraulic fracturing began as an experiment in 1947, and the first commercially successful application followed in 1950. As of 2012, approximately 2.5 million "frac jobs" had been performed worldwide on oil and gas wells; over one million of those within the U.S. Such treatment is generally necessary to achieve adequate flow rates in shale gas, tight gas, tight oil, and coal seam gas wells. As of 2013, massive hydraulic fracturing is being applied on a commercial scale to shales in the United States, Canada, and China.

4.6 Hydraulic fracturing is used to increase the rate at which fluids, such as petroleum, water, or natural gas can be recovered from subterranean natural reservoirs. Reservoirs are typically porous sandstones, limestones or dolomite rocks, but also include "unconventional reservoirs" such as shale rock or coal beds. Hydraulic fracturing enables the extraction of natural gas and oil from rock formations deep below the earth's surface (generally 2,000–6,000 m (5,000–20,000 ft)), which is greatly below typical groundwater reservoir levels. At such depth, there may be insufficient permeability or reservoir pressure to allow natural gas and oil to flow from the rock into the wellbore at high economic return. Thus, creating conductive fractures in the rock is instrumental in extraction from naturally impermeable shale reservoirs. Fractures are a conductive path connecting a larger volume of reservoir to the well.

4.7 Oil and gas drilling rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill oil wells, or natural gas extraction wells. Drilling rigs can be mobile equipment mounted on trucks, tracks or trailers, or more permanent land-based structures. The term "rig" therefore generally refers to the complex of equipment that is used to penetrate the surface of the Earth's crust. The drill bits utilised are extremely large in the range of 12”- 30” (Figure 2).

Page 39 9 Figure 2: Example of Oil & Gas Drill Bit

4.8 Mineral exploration diamond drilling is used in the mining industry to probe the contents of known ore deposits and potential sites. By withdrawing a small diameter core of rock from the orebody, geologists can analyse the core by assay and conduct petrologic, structural and mineralogical studies of the rock. A core drill is a drill specifically designed to remove a cylinder of material, much like a hole saw. The material left inside the drill bit is referred to as the core as shown in Figures 3 and 4. There are other mineral exploration drilling techniques but this is the one which is used exclusively by DGL.

Figures 3 & 4: Drill core

4.9 Core drills are used frequently in mineral exploration where the coring may be several hundred to several thousand feet in length. The core samples are recovered, examined and analysed by geologists for mineral quantity and quality. The quality of minerals present are assayed giving a precise determination of the amount of mineral present (i.e. gold, silver) in grams per tonne or percentages. The quality or geology, lithology, alteration, etc. is determined by observation of the core that has been extracted. This gives exploration companies the information necessary to evaluate the potential for economic mineralisation within a deposit and whether to further the project by performing further studies with the view to eventually construct a mine.

4.10 The drill uses a diamond encrusted drill bit (Figure 5) to drill through the rock. Water is injected into the drill pipe, so as to wash out the rock cuttings produced by the bit and

Page 40 10 also to reduce the heat produced due to friction which causes less wear and tear of the bits. The drill produces a "core" which is photographed and split longitudinally. Half of the split core is assayed while the other half is permanently stored for future use and re- assaying, if necessary.

Figure 5: Diamond Core Drill Bits (typically 50-90mm in diameter)

4.11 As set out in Appendix 1, DGL have implemented a closed loop management system at all of its previous 250 drill sites, in order to contain and treat the drilling water and cuttings and prevent their release into the environment. The returning drilling fluids that emerge back out from the borehole are settled, recycled and re-used in the drilling process. The drill system represents best environmental management practice by:

• Treating, recycling, and re-using the drill return waters;

• Minimising / Reducing water abstraction from surface waters;

• Eliminating the requirement to discharge to surface waters.

4.12 Mineral exploration diamond drill rigs are small to medium-sized drilling rigs that are mobile and easily transportable as shown in Figures 6 and 7.

Conclusion

4.14 In conclusion, a technical analysis between exploration and production drilling for petroleum (oil and gas) and early mineral exploration drilling shows they cannot, and should not, be thought to be similar in method, result or equipment or effect on the subsurface.

4.15 The primary purpose of oil and gas drilling is extraction and production, whereas mineral exploration is investigation. This is facilitated by hydraulic fracking or ‘injecting’ chemicals under pressure into the opening in the case of oil and gas drilling whereas mineral exploration drilling extracts a small representative sample in the way of ‘core’. The drill rigs for oil and gas are significant structures which drill with very large diameter tools whereas mineral exploration utilises very small, mobile rigs using relatively small diameter tools, consistent with the relatively short period of time they are in operation. The resulting effect on the sub-strata in the case of hydraulic fracking is very dynamic by ‘introducing’ water, chemicals and sand thereby altering the stratigraphic formations. Exploration diamond drilling, due to its investigative nature, is a static process that aims to measure the sub-strata in-situ and does not inject or alter the sub-strata with the exception of extracting a small diameter of core.

4.16 The table which follows summarises the key differences between the three activities.

4.17 The next Section considers the different PD regimes for exploration.

Page 44 14 5. Comparison of PD Regime in Other Jurisdictions

5.1 This Section outlines the PD regime within the UK and Ireland. The relevant extracts of all the legislation quoted are provided at Appendix 6.

5.2 Notwithstanding the significant differences in the respective activities which are highlighted in the previous Section, the comparison here shows that NI is in the unique position of not distinguishing between minerals and petroleum exploration in its PD regime.

Northern Ireland

5.3 Minerals exploration (boreholes, seismic surveys or other excavations - ie trenching) is permitted development under Part 16 Class A of the General Permitted Development Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 subject to specified limitations and conditions.

5.4 The drilling of boreholes and trenching is permitted on any land for up to four months provided prior notification of certain details have been provided in writing to the local Council (see Appendix 1 for a DGL borehole PD submission and Appendix 2 for a DGL trenching submission).

5.5 There are no permitted development (PD) rights for exploration within an ASSI or site of archaeological interest. The use of more than 1kg of explosive charge is not permitted development and the use of a structure of greater than 3m in height within 3km of an airport is not permitted development.

5.6 Development is permitted subject to four conditions:

• Compliance with the details provided in the written notification (unless otherwise agreed);

• No removal or damage to trees (unless otherwise agreed);

• (in the case of excavation) removal of topsoil for separate storage;

• Restoration of the land within 28 days of cessation of the operations (unless otherwise agreed).

5.7 Within designated sites, including Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Article 7 of the GPDO provides a Council with the ability to direct that the permission granted shall not apply. Such a Direction has to be given within 21 days of receipt of the notification to the applicant and the Department of the Environment.

5.8 If the Council issue a Direction the Department has up to 28 days to consider it and the power to disallow it, allowing the PD. If the Department decides not to intervene, the PD rights are removed.

Page 45 15 England – Separate Minerals & Hydrocarbon PD Regimes

5.9 The equivalent legislation is the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, which makes provision for temporary and longer term drilling for mineral exploration under Part 17, Classes J and K respectively.

5.10 Unlike NI, development is expressly not permitted if it consists of the drilling of boreholes for petroleum exploration. The other restrictions are broadly similar, requiring prior notification of the mineral planning authority in writing, limiting any explosive charge to a slightly more generous 2 kilograms, limiting any excavation to not exceeding 10 metres in depth or 12 square metres in surface area and limiting any structure assembled or provided to no more than 12 metres in height.

5.11 Class K draws a clear distinction between minerals exploration and petroleum exploration. The definition of petroleum as defined in the Petroleum Act 1988 ‘includes any mineral oil or relative hydrocarbon and natural gas existing in its natural condition in strata but does not include coal or bituminous shales or other stratified deposits from which oil can be extracted by destructive distillation.’

5.12 Whilst Class K expressly removes borehole PD rights for petroleum exploration, the legislation was recently amended in March 2016 to introduce a new Class providing limited permitted development rights for such activity.

5.13 The Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) (England) Order 2016 makes provision for temporary and longer term drilling for petroleum exploration under Part 17, Classes JA and KA respectively.

5.14 As with minerals exploration, the JA and KA classes work on the basis of prior notification. Class KA allows development to occur for up to six months unless extended in writing (except for groundwater monitoring boreholes which can be retained for 24 months). The limitations on PD include an express provision that restricts boreholes for locating and appraising the condition of mine operations to no greater than 160m in depth.

5.15 There is no equivalent limit on borehole depth for mineral exploration. The legislation evidently makes a distinction which limits permitted development for exploratory petroleum boreholes to early stage shallow works. As noted above, deeper drilling for shale requires a larger rig, and a larger pad design and set up whereas an operation for mineral exploration is on a much smaller scale. Essentially this means that all serious exploration for petroleum therefore requires planning permission.

Wales

5.16 Welsh legislation (Part 22 (Classes A and B) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995) is comparable to English legislation and different to the NI legislation in that it distinguishes between boreholes for mineral exploration and petroleum exploration, removing PD rights for petroleum exploration.

5.17 The principal difference with England is that there is no Welsh equivalent to the English 2016 Class KA change which introduces a separate PD class for petroleum exploration.

Page 46 16 The regime, therefore, removes PD rights for boreholes for petroleum exploration but does not provide for these rights in a separate new class. All exploration for petroleum therefore requires planning permission.

5.18 As with NI and England, a prior notification system operates. Permitted development must cease within six months unless otherwise agreed in writing. There are restrictions on the use of explosives and Wales also has the same limitations on surface area/depth and the height of associated structures.

Scotland

5.19 As with England, Scotland also distinguishes between boreholes for mineral exploration and petroleum exploration. The Scottish regime (Part 15 (Classes 53 and 54) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992) is broadly similar to the Welsh in that it removes PD rights for boreholes for petroleum exploration and does not provide for these rights in a separate new class. All exploration for petroleum therefore requires planning permission.

5.20 As with the other regimes, the system in Scotland operates on the principle of prior notification. As with NI the PD can occur for a period of up to four months, subject to conditions and limitations.

5.21 Other restrictions, mainly unique to Scotland, in certain circumstances, mean that development is not permitted where operations would be carried out within 50 metres of an occupied residential building, hospital or school; within a national scenic area, a site of archaeological or special scientific interest; or more than 10 excavations would be made within any area of 1 hectare within the land during any period of 24 months.

Ireland

5.22 The Irish PD regime also distinguishes between mineral exploration and petroleum exploration. Like England, there are PD rights for both.

5.23 Mineral exploration in the Republic of Ireland falls under ‘rural exempted development.’ Class 5 (a) of Schedule 3 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001-2015.

5.24 Class 5 (a) states the following as exempted rural development:

‘The carrying out of works on any land for the purpose of minerals prospecting and the erection or placing on land of any structures required for that purpose, where the prospecting is carried out pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of a licence, lease or permission granted by the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources under the Minerals Development Acts, 1940 to 1999.’

5.25 Petroleum exploration and prospecting falls under a separate part of the classification; Class 5 (b) includes the following as rural exempted development:

‘The carrying out of works on any land for the purpose of searching for petroleum and the erection or placing on land of any structures required for that purpose, where the searching is carried out pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of

Page 47 17 an exploration licence, a petroleum prospecting licence or a reserved area licence granted by the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources under the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development Act, 1960 (No. 7 of 1960).’

5.26 The Regulations do not set out any conditions on either class of PD.

Summary – England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland

5.27 Northern Ireland is unique within these islands by not distinguishing between minerals and petroleum exploration in its PD regime. Each of the other four jurisdictions treats petroleum exploration as falling outside the definition of mineral exploration, perhaps appreciating the significant differences in the respective activities which are highlighted in Section 4.

5.28 England and Ireland have PD regimes which establish a separate class of permitted development for petroleum exploration. In England, boreholes, for petroleum exploration can be up to 160m deep, subject to certain restrictions. Since exploration at this depth can be of limited value, this limitation essentially means that all serious petroleum exploration requires planning permission.

5.29 Wales and Scotland are different insofar as these regimes are clear that petroleum exploration is not PD but they do not make provision for such activities to be PD by way of a separate class. This means that all petroleum exploration requires planning permission.

5.30 Other regulatory regimes establish controls which interact with the PD regime. These are discussed in the next Section. For interest, an international view is provided in Appendix 7 which sets out the principles of the exploratory drilling regime in Canada. Canada is a jurisdiction that has a long and very active history of both mineral and petroleum exploration.

5.31 The respective UK and Ireland regimes are summarised in the table below.

Page 48 18 6. Legislative and Regulatory Safeguards in the Existing Regime in Northern Ireland

The PD Safeguard

6.1 The most significant safeguard in the NI PD regime for minerals boreholes is the ability of the Council to direct, within 21 days of receiving prior notification, that the permission granted shall not apply. Subject to the Department of the Environment’s view (see 5.7 above), such a direction would mean that in order to carry out the development planned, an application for full planning permission would be required. This would trigger the standard planning application requirements and process of advertising, neighbour notification, consultation with consultees and Council decision making (depending on the Council’s scheme of delegation) in accordance with Section 45 of the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011.

6.2 Decision making times for planning applications vary across Northern Ireland and every planning application raises different planning issues which impact upon determination. In our estimation if a Council directed that planned mineral exploration was not permitted development and a planning application was required, the expectation would be that the planning process could take between four to eight months from the date when a planning application was submitted. Depending on the site, and the time of year when the application was being prepared, application preparation time could be anywhere between one and six months. If such an application was determined to represent EIA development, this would significantly extend the timelines involved, probably to a year to 18 months.

6.3 There are, however, other regulatory safeguards currently in place.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

6.4 When a Council receives prior notification of an intention to undertake mineral exploration under Part 16 of the GPDO, the EIA Regulations require that the Council must make a screening assessment to determine whether or not the development is EIA development for the purpose of the Regulations, requiring an Environmental Statement.

6.5 This is a very significant stage of the process given the requirements associated with the EIA process and the consideration of the resulting ES.

6.6 As can be seen by the information in Appendices 1 and 2, DGL routinely provides the local authority with a significant amount of information to inform this screening assessment.

Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA)

6.7 A stage 1 Test of Likely Significance (TOLS) screening is also required during the 21 day period following notification. This is undertaken by the Council as competent

Page 49 19 authority on the basis of information provided by the applicant. In the DGL case, working in an area with European designated watercourses/habitats, this requires particular consideration of the methodologies designed to prevent impacts on the water environment.

Other Legislation Applicable to DGL

6.8 There is a standing obligation in respect of the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 as amended.

6.9 Water abstraction practices have to comply with the Foyle Fisheries Act 1952 and the terms of the DGL water abstraction licenses AIL/2011/0025 and AIL/2011/0026.

6.10 Storage of fuel has to comply with the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.

6.11 The drilling operations must adhere to the Groundwater Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009.

Page 50 20 7. Response

7.1 The question posed in the call for evidence is as follows:

Do you believe that the existing provisions on permitted development rights for mineral exploration provide a suitable balance between supporting operational business activity and environmental protection?

7.2 The need to strike the right planning balance between supporting operation business activity and environmental protection is not unique to Northern Ireland.

7.3 Our review of the PD regimes in neighbouring jurisdictions confirms that the existing NI provisions for mineral exploration are broadly similar to those which exist elsewhere. The principal difference is that England, Scotland and Wales distinguish between exploration for minerals and petroleum, with petroleum exploration having its own separate class of limited permitted development in England. The direction of travel in England has been to retain the status quo of mineral exploration PD and evolve a separate petroleum exploration PD regime so planning permission is not required in certain circumstances.

7.4 Safeguards are already built into the NI PD process; most important is the ability for a Council to direct that development is not permitted, with the effect that a planning application would be required and all that such a direction would involve. Furthermore an EIA determination is required by a Council when considering a prior notification. DGL routinely provides a large amount of information to facilitate this action by the Council. In addition, other environmental protection safeguards are in place as a result of other legislation.

7.5 This review would suggest that there is no need to change the minerals part of the PD regime in NI in order to bring it into line with other jurisdictions but there is a case for amending the legislation insofar as it relates to petroleum exploration. The options here would seem to be to provide for a separate class of petroleum PD (as in England), with more significant petroleum drilling requiring planning permission or adopt the approach of Scotland and Wales where all petroleum drilling requires planning permission.

7.6 The context for this review is understood by DGL. However, it is equally important to appreciate the geological drivers behind the industry and the potential for significant economic growth from the sector.

7.7 DGL are not aware of any adverse environmental effects arising as a result of its exploration under PD, having drilled some 250 boreholes in the past 6 years. The implementation of the environmental and process controls set out in Appendices 1 and 2 assists in this respect.

7.8 Exploration is frequently carried out by companies that do not generate operational revenue. Time is a critical resource. Exposing what is presently limited and controlled drilling to the potential delays associated with planning processes and EIA assessment would fundamentally increase the operating costs and pressures associated with exploratory drilling.

Page 51 21 7.9 For mineral exploration companies, timelines would potentially become prohibitive, with uncertainty increasing alongside costs. In DGL’s opinion, since international exploration capital is highly mobile and goes where there is geological prospectivity and a reasonable permitting/business environment, no exploration company could afford to wait a year or more to begin drilling. Over-regulation could mean that no mineral exploration would take place with a consequent impact on the level of Foreign Direct Investment, employment creation and skills development.

7.10 The regime has been working successfully in NI and the rest of the UK for many years. Bringing the PD regime into line with other jurisdictions by separating out limited petroleum exploration into a new class would strike the appropriate planning balance between supporting operational business activity and environmental protection.

7.11 It would also seem sensible to take the opportunity to extend the 21 day prior notification period to 28 days to align with the time period for EIA screening. This would be an additional week’s delay for DGL but it would bring the time periods into line with the position in England and Wales.

Taking West Tyrone as a case study, in 2012/13 the constituency had the highest proportion of school leavers in Northern Ireland achieving at least five GCSEs at grades A*-C or equivalent, the 4th highest proportion of people aged 16 and over enrolled in further education and the 5th highest proportion of people aged 16 and over enrolled in higher education institutions in Northern Ireland. Despite this strong educational base, West Tyrone has the fourth highest unemployment claimant count, the fourth highest proportion of people aged 16 and over claiming at least one benefit, the fourth highest claiming housing benefit and income support and the fourth highest with proportion of children 0-15 in low income families. One of the reasons for the gap between the high educational attainment and high unemployment and welfare dependency lies in the constituency’s economic profile which has a large number of self-owned micro businesses and a small number of long-term, permanent, non-public sector, high-paying jobs. Source - constituency profile, Northern Ireland Assembly, January 2015

Development of the private sector and large projects complements the business mix that is sought by business leaders including both Omagh and Strabane Chambers of Commerce. Some key economic statistics for the district include:

 Fermanagh and Omagh (F & O) has the third lowest rate of economic activity for the 16 – 64 age group

 For the period 2008 - 2013, F & O has seen the loss of 3,800 jobs

 In the period 2009 – 2013, F & O has seen the creation of 700 (Part Time) jobs

For the period 2009 – 2013 there has been a net loss of 3752 (Source Office of National Statistics – 27 Nov 2014) businesses in F & O (death of existing businesses and creation of new businesses)

 F & O workplace wages are substantially below the N I & UK median wages

 45% of all businesses in F & O have a turnover of less than £49,000, 17% higher than the N I average.

 Of all the new businesses started in 2008, only 38% were in existence 5 years later

 For the period 2000 – 2014, 1,500 ‘agri-labour’ jobs have been lost

 The tourism figures produced by the Council included the G8 conference and the Chamber believes that this has inflated the tourism spend

 In 2013, none of the top tourist attractions (NI) were in the F & O area

 Lack of FDI into the area. Most businesses are indigenous and the area needs a better business mix/profile. Also, FDI supports local indigenous business indirectly

2 Office of National Statistics – 27 Nov 2014

Page 57 The Chamber has also previously provided statistics to the Council under its Draft Corporate Plan and these are detailed below:

1. There are almost 8,000 businesses3

2. 87%4 of businesses employ less than 10 employees

3. The impact of the recession in the Omagh District has seen since 2008 a reduction of 165 businesses to 3,190 in June 20145.

From examining the above it is important to recognise that F & O is primarily a micro business based economy with only 7% of businesses having a turnover of £100,000+.

The support in the number of jobs created by Invest NI for the micro sector in the F & O area was 288 during the 2014 – 2015 financial year. Invest NI created 9,410 jobs (SME & Large Businesses) in N Ireland during this reporting period. Of all the jobs created, 3.06% of micro businesses in F & O received funding.

With the creation of 9,410 jobs created by Invest NI, 3,293 or 34.99% of micro businesses secured funding, despite the fact that 89% of all jobs in N Ireland are ‘micro’ (Sources: DETINI – Interdepartmental Business Register (Results published 25 July 2014)

Page 59 Appendix 7: Canada

Canada

7.1 Canada is a country of vast and diverse natural geographic beauty. It is also a significant and mature mining jurisdiction.

7.2 Mining is a significant contributor to the annual GDP of Canada and Canada is among the world’s leading nations in the production of many base, precious and rare earth minerals, as well as oil and gas. It is also a world leader in mining finance and the development of mining technology.

7.3 Canada is a federation with a national government and ten sub-national provinces and three sub-national territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut). Mining exploration and development as a primary industry is important to the GDP of the national government, most of the provinces (particularly British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec) and all of the territories. Given that the various Canadian jurisdictions have similar (and sometimes overlapping) statutory mining, environmental and land use regimes, for simplicity for the purposes of this submission, statutory references hereinafter are to the relevant legislation of the Province of Ontario in Canada, historically the most prolific mining jurisdiction in Canada and a reasonable representation of the other Canadian mining jurisdictions.

7.4 As with England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, Canada’s legislative and regulatory regimes distinguish between (i) mineral exploration and development, and (ii) petroleum exploration and extraction.

7.5 Mineral exploration can occur on privately owned lands (originally granted by the Crown (government)) or on public Crown (government) owned lands. Evidencing the importance of mining to GDP, all of the major mining jurisdictions in Canada use some hybrid form of open “free-entry” as the basis for their system of mining tenures and mineral exploration on Crown land.

7.6 Under the hybrid free entry system, as embodied by the Ontario Mining Act, licensed prospectors are free to enter Crown lands categorized by the Crown as open for mineral activity (which include large land masses of naturally pristine and untouched Crown lands) and have (i) a right to acquire mineral claims by claim staking and recording (Sections 27 and 28 of the Ontario Mining Act) and (ii) the statutory right (and obligation in order to retain the claims) to conduct prospecting and early exploration assessment work on the lands subject to the claims. Claims can be upgraded to mining leases through application to the Crown meeting specified development criteria, with such leases conveying the right to mineral production and to title to and the right to consume or sell the minerals (metals).

7.7 Crown lands generally not open for prospecting or staking in most Canadian jurisdictions have been withheld or reserved by statutory authority (Sections 29-35 of the Ontario Mining Act), and include: park lands, railway lands, public roadways and other government lands, environmentally sensitive lands such as conservation areas, game reserves and bird sanctuaries, heritage lands, lands used by other government

Page 60 departments and municipal sites (towns and cities) and other such developed areas, and lands previously ceded to others, including Indigenous peoples through treaty land claim or similar settlements (including sacred and archaeological sites).

7.8 While early mineral exploration is a statutorily acquired right (and obligation in order to retain the claims) under the Ontario Mining Act in respect of open Crown land, the acquired rights under both mining claims and mining leases remain subject to certain basic land use and environmental protection principles.

Exploration Plans and Permits

7.9 The Ontario Mining Act requires that in order to conduct early exploration on lands subject to a mining claim or a mining lease, an exploration plan be submitted to (and an exploration permit acquired from) the Crown in accordance with requirements prescribed by regulations under the Ontario Mining Act (the “Early Exploration Regulations”) as a pre-condition to the entry upon, use or occupation of a staked mining claim or Crown leased land for mineral exploration purposes (Sections 78.2 and 78.3 of the Ontario Mining Act). This requirement does not apply to early exploration activities on privately owned lands, but such activities must be permissible on such privately owned lands under applicable provincial and local municipal land use regulations and are subject to the Ontario Environmental Protection Act and the Ontario Water Resources Act (see below).

7.10 In determining whether to issue an exploration permit, the Director of Exploration shall consider, among other things, the purposes and objectives of the Ontario Mining Act (the encouragement of mineral exploration and development on open Crown lands and privately owned lands), the terms of the proposed exploration plan and whether effective Indigenous and surface rights owner notification and consultation has occurred, if required.

7.11 The Early Exploration Regulations provide that an exploration plan (and exploration permit) is triggered by any of the following: any geological or geophysical surveys that require the use of a generator, mechanized drilling for the purpose of obtaining rock or mineral samples, line cutting where the width of the line may exceed 1.5 meters, substantial mechanized surface stripping will occur or substantial pitting and trenching will be conducted.

7.12 The Early Exploration Regulations provide that any person engaged in any early exploration activities on lands subject to a mining claim or a mining lease shall comply with the following requirements: early exploration sites must be maintained in a clean and safe condition, roads and trails must not be obstructed by early exploration activities, completion of the early exploration activities or expiry of any applicable exploration plan or permit, all refuse, fuel drums, equipment and any other material or things brought onto the lands for the early exploration must be removed, all drill holes must be capped and sealed, all drill holes where casings are not removed must be marked and clearly visible in all seasons, all drill core samples must be stored not less than 30 meters from any permanent water body or waterway, all stripped overburden or waste rock must be levelled and/or stockpiled in a safe and stable manner, all drilling fluids, cuttings and mud if left on site must be contained and must not be left less than

Page 61 30 meters from any permanent water body or waterway and all disturbed overburden and stripped areas must be backfilled or contoured to a stable angle of repose, all pit walls that make vertical rock faces greater than three meters in height must be backfilled or contoured to a stable angle of repose and must be slopped to provide at least one ramp as a point of egress.

7.13 In addition, the exploration proponent must comply with the relevant regulatory standards under the Ontario Environmental Protection Act and the Ontario Water Resources Act and may require an environmental compliance approval from the Ministry of Environment in the event that the proposed activities will cause a release of any contaminant into the natural environment or requires the taking of water from the natural environment.

Land Use Planning

7.14 Ontario has recently layered additional land use planning legislation (the Ontario Far North Act) on top of the Ontario Mining Act applicable to its most northern boreal forest land mass (the most northern third of the province - an area largely undeveloped but tremendously mineral prospective (including the world class base metal “Ring of Fire” deposit)).

7.15 Community-based land use plans in this area will be developed collectively by Indigenous communities and neighbouring communities, working jointly with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and will designate permitted development uses and/or prohibitions in designated areas. Existing projects will be grandfathered.

7.16 Specific activities permitted/prohibited in designated areas under a completed community-based land use plan may include:

• Mineral exploration and the development and operation of a new mine

• Commercial timber harvest

• Wind power and waterpower facilities

• Oil and gas exploration and production

• Construction of electrical transmission facilities and lines or new all-weather roads associated with them

• Construction of all-weather roads

• Other activities that may be prescribed by the Government of Ontario.

7.17 Exploration and development activities will also be permitted if the Government of Ontario determines it is predominantly for community use, or if the Lieutenant Governor in Council (the executive branch of the Government of Ontario) determines it is in the social and economic interests of Ontario and takes into account land use planning objectives. All such permitted mineral related activities will be subject to the provisions

Page 62 of the Ontario Mining Act, the Ontario Environmental Protection Act and the Ontario Water Resources Act.

7.18 In Ontario the Ontario Mining Act provides for the discretion of the Minister to issue exploration licences for the purposes of exploration and drilling for oil and gas on Crown land and for production leases for drilling and production of oil and gas on Crown land.

7.19 The issuances of such licences or leases are discretionary and are subject to the Crown being satisfied that activities pursuant to such licences will be in compliance with the Ontario Oil, Gas and Salt Resources Act (formerly the Ontario Petroleum Resources Act), which Act governs oil, gas and solution mining operations and prescribes regulations for: the conservation of oil and gas, prescribing areas where drilling wells are prohibited, prohibiting ejection of oil, gas, water or other substances into a geological formation in connection with a project for enhancing oil or gas recovery, solution mining, regulating and location and spacing of wells, limiting the number of wells in the spacing unit, mandating unitization, governing the methods, equipment and materials which can be used in drilling, completing, operating, servicing or plugging wells, governing the construction, use, operation of any works, including the methods, materials and equipment used, governing activities for the production of storage of fluids, the injection of fluids into underground geological formation or the withdrawal of fluids from those formations.

7.20 In addition to the potential application of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act and the Ontario Water Resources Act to early exploration activities, the public interest in the preservation and conservation of the natural environment in the event of advanced exploration (exploratory shaft, reopening or expansion of existing mine workings, excavation of material in excess of 1,000 tonnes or surface stripping greater than 10,000 cubic meters) and/or mine development and operation will require the filing by the exploration or development proponent of a complete and full mine closure and rehabilitation plan fully secured by a cash collateral account or letter of credit in favour of the Crown, as well as compliance (as would oil and gas explorations or operations) with the regulations of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act and the Ontario Water Resources Act.

Matters Arising

ER148/17 Applications Processed Under Building Regulations (NI)

An Independent Member of Council who was a non-Member of the Committee advised that he had been contacted by a number of householders requesting a second food bin to deal with additional food waste and enquired if this could be provided. He expressed concern that food waste bins were not being emptied in the Strathfoyle and Fincairn Road areas and queried the current position regarding the roll-out of the food waste schemes in the rural area.

The said Member further queried if any action had been taken to address the current 4-5 week timescale in respect of the bulky waste collections.

A Member of the SDLP grouping said he understood that following discussion on this matter at the June Meeting of the Committee Officers would consult with those householders who required a second food waste bin and welcomed the fact that a number of families in the area had been accommodated in this regard.

Another Member of the SDLP grouping referred to a most productive meeting he had with a Council Officer regarding the roll-out of food waste bins in the Strathfoyle area.

A Member of the UUP grouping commended Officers for addressing the issues raised at the June Meeting of the Committee in relation to food waste bins.

The Head of Environment thanked Members for their comments. He advised that the food waste bin collection was currently operating on schedule. He explained that that had been clear operational issues

2 Page 76 initially which had now been addressed. He assured that Council would facilitate the provision of additional food waste bins where required. Officers were also considering the introduction of larger food waste bins however a number of aspects must be considered in relation thereto including for example weight.

The Head of Environment acknowledged that there had been difficulties in relation to the bulky waste collection. He advised however, that additional crews and vehicles had been deployed in respect of this service and it was anticipated that it would be operating on schedule within the coming weeks. He advised that during the summer Council periodically carried out community clean-up schemes and anticipated that this would address any outstanding problems in this regard.

In response to a query from a Member of the UUP grouping, the Head of Environment advised that in regards to the provision of additional food bins, requests would be addressed based on individual circumstances.

In response to a query from a Member of the DUP grouping, the Head of Environment confirmed that households who were not in possession of a food waste bin were permitted to dispose of food waste in their black bin. However, it was anticipated that the roll-out would be completed throughout the Council district in the coming weeks.

In response to a query from a Member of the SDLP grouping, the Head of Environment acknowledged that difficulties might be experienced by householders in adapting to using the food waste bin. He assured that an introduction period would be afforded to those households following the delivery of their food waste bin. He stated that Council Officers would work with local communities to ensure the success of this service.

In response to a query from an Independent Member who was a non- Member of the Committee regarding the introduction of the food waste collection in the rural area, the Head of the Environment confirmed that the service would be rolled-out throughout the rural area where possible. However, there were exceptions and in some instances this might not be possible. Council would endeavour to facilitate rural householders where possible in this regard.

3 Page 77 The Head of Environment said it was anticipated that the delivery of food waste bins would be completed by August with collections commencing thereafter.

ER149/17 Proposed Bus Shelter Location at Listymore Park, Erganagh Road, Castlederg

The Head of Environment presented the above report a copy of which had previously been circulated. He advised that the purpose of the report was to seek Members’ approval for a new bus shelter location at Listymore Park, Erganagh Road, Castlederg.

A Member of the Sinn Fein grouping welcomed the above report. He pointed out that it had been two years since he had been approached by residents regarding the need for bus shelter provision in this area. He expressed concern at the timescale involved in the delivery of this facility and anticipated that it would be on-site by September 2017.

A Member of the UUP grouping concurred with the above comments. He referred to the need to address the issue of outside agencies delaying progress on such projects.

The Committee

Recommended that Members endorse the entering of a Licence Agreement with NIHE with regard to a bus shelter at Listymore.

ER150/17 Consultation received from DFE Minerals Branch in relation to Mineral Prospecting Licence Application (Dalradian Gold Limited)

The Head of Environment presented the above report a copy of which had previously been circulated. He pointed out that the purpose of the report was to advise Members that a consultation has been received from the Department for the Economy (DFE) in relation to application from Dalradian Gold Limited for mineral prospecting rights in respect of lands in Counties Tyrone and Londonderry. The consultation is seeking that Derry City and Strabane District Council display the map showing the area over which the application has been made in our offices and to ask for any comments made by Derry City and Strabane District Council be forwarded to DFE by 1 August 2017.

4 Page 78 An Independent Member of Council who was a non-Member of the Committee welcomed Council’s approach as outlined to deny the proposed Licence. He referred to considerable discussion which had taken place surrounding Dalradian’s proposals. He expressed concern at the effect the proposed mining would have on the surrounding areas and particularly rivers in Co Derry in Dungiven, Park and Feeney and Draperstown and in Co Tyrone in Glenelly, Dunamanagh, Owenkilloo and Gortin in terms of pollutants. He claimed that the proposed mining would discharge mercury, arsenic and copper and ultimately lead to poisoning. This could impact on a number of areas of outstanding beauty which would endure the effects of these poisonous substances.

A Member of the Sinn Fein grouping expressed concern that the Department had indicated that it was proposing to approve the licence prior to consultation having been carried out. He said it was totally inappropriate to make such a recommendation as this could be regarded as pre-empting the planning application and prove prejudicial.

The Member referred to a previous Motion passed by Council which highlighted that the Minister would hold a public consultation on any planning application in respect of such a development and council had supported a call for a public enquiry into what gold-mining would entail. He suggested that the reference to ‘water’ systems be amended to read ‘hydraulic’ systems.

A Member of the UUP grouping acknowledged general concerns regarding Dalradian’s operations. He referred to a previous speaker’s comments and enquired if there had been any investigation by Council’s Environmental Health Officers or the Rivers Agency in relation to pollutants into the water systems in the Council area.

A Member of the DUP grouping said he would require additional information regarding Dalradian’s actual proposals. Whilst acknowledging the prospect of inward investment he referred to the importance of protecting local communities. He suggested that representatives from Dalradian be invited to attend a future Meeting of the Committee to address Members to allay their fears regarding the proposed operations.

A Member of the SDLP grouping referred to a previous Council Motion that Council support the call for a Public Enquiry and suggested that it

5 Page 79 might be more useful for Dalradian to put forward their case to a Public Enquiry rather than addressing Council given that there were a range of Council areas that would be affected by their proposed operations. He suggested that Council’s response to the Department outline its concerns regarding their decision to recommend approval of the Licence prior to the completion of the Public Consultation.

The Committee

Recommended (a) that Members note the content of this paper and request from DFE alongside the draft letter for consideration and discussion and that Council outline its concerns at the Department’s recommendation to approve the Licence prior to the public consultation; and

(b) that representatives from Dalradian Gold Limited be invited to address a future Meeting of the Committee on their proposed operations.

ER151/17 Regeneration of St Columb’s Park

The Head of Environment advised Members that the Parks Development Manager would give a brief power-point presentation on the emerging regeneration plans for St. Columb’s Park.

The Parks Development Manager gave the presentation a copy of which is attached at Appendix A.

The Parks Development manager thanked Members for their comments. He stated that it was incumbent upon Council to respect, protect and maintain its landscapes. He stated that Council was investing in the physical, social and economic regeneration of the area and the St Columb’s Project was an excellent example of how this could be achieved. He then made the following comments:

- Acknowledged the importance of consultation and confirmed that Council was working closely with the Board of St Columb’s Park House regarding the philosophical need. - Confirmed that there had been considerable engagement with local residents to date. - Understood that works would begin following the successful outcome of a planning application in respect of the works. However, considerable work would be carried out in the area prior to the submission of the planning application. - Acknowledged the demand for the St. Columb’s Park allotments and through the progression of the project anticipated greater involvement with licence holders in due course. - Confirmed that Council were engaging with Heritage Lottery Fund who he felt would be willing to enter into discussions with Council subsequent to Members approval having been granted. - The Committee

2.2 Progress Update

Details of progress against the commitments set out in the 2016/17 Directorate Delivery Plan are attached as Appendix 2. This includes actions and indicators.

12 The improvement objective for the Directorate for 2016/17 was to increase sustainable development through enabling higher quality planning and building control submissions resulting in a more integrated and effective planning and building control system and quality outputs. We chose this improvement objective because we recognise that following the reorganisation of Local Government in Northern Ireland, it is imperative that there is a consistent and integrated standard of service in the planning and building control functions and a coordinated approach to support for customers to enable them to submit high quality applications and enable us to process in a timely manner and ultimately ensure high quality development throughout the region. This is a three year performance improvement objective and significant progress has been made during 2016/17. The team have undertaken engagement with local agents to gauge the support that they would appreciate and to consider the potential for a fast tracked system for application approval where all key information is submitted at the time of initial validation. Improvements have been made to the websites for the services to provide additional information. Economically significant applications are prioritised to ensure that they progress as fast as possible and that the teams contribute to the economic regeneration of the region and a cross-departmental working group has been established to explore ways of integrating the services and processes further.

3 Section Three: Improvement Planning and Performance

Page 99 Page The Directorate has agreed a number of improvement objectives for 2017/18 which aim to bring about improvement in one or more of the following improvement criteria:

Title of Report: Officer presenting:

Action Renewables Head of Capital Development & Building Control

Author:

Energy Manager

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval to join Action Renewables Energy Association (AREA).

2 Background

2.1 Action Renewables was created by the Department of Enterprise Trade and Investment (DETI) in 2003 in response to European, National and Northern Ireland Government commitment to renewable energy, as one strand of policy to combat climate change, environmental pollution and to increase fuel diversity. Action Renewables is widely recognised as the foremost authority on renewable energy in Northern Ireland. In line with DETI’s stated sustainable energy objectives, Action Renewables worked between 2003 and 2011 to create the conditions necessary to facilitate the increased penetration of renewable energy in Northern Ireland, in order to provide a sustainable solution to our future energy needs, to bring enhanced fuel security, safeguard future energy costs and help combat the impending threat of climate change.

2.2 Action Renewables was a Third Party Organisation for the period 2003 – 2011, initially fully funded by DETI. After 2011 no further funding was received from DETI, and AR ceased to be a TPO. In 2011 AR moved fully to the private sector, but continued to be a registered Charity. Action Renewables has always operated with Charitable Status, and continues to do so under the Northern Ireland Charity Commission guidelines (Registered Charity Number NIC100806 issued in 2016).

3 Key Issues

3.1 Action Renewables supports renewable energy development, develops and supports European Projects, offers quality assurance to the renewable energy industry – Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accreditation and provides advice and information to Government.

Page 129 3.2 Benefits to Public Sector organisations:-

(1) Advance, to the benefit of the public, the protection and improvement of the environment through the promotion of energy efficiency and renewable energy. The benefit which flows from this purpose is an improvement in the quality of the environment, leading to enhanced health, safety and quality of life of the public. These benefits are evidenced by surveys concerning the adoption of good environmental practice, records of the uptake of environmental information, advice and consultancy and the dissemination of research findings. This purpose does not result in any harm or private benefit.

(2) Advance the education of the public in energy efficiency and renewable energy. The benefits that flow from this purpose are enhanced knowledge and understanding of the issues relating to energy efficiency and renewable energy and of the alternative energy options available to businesses, organisations and communities. These benefits are evidenced by surveys of the extent and level of knowledge and understanding among the public of the issues and options available. This purpose does not result in any harm or private benefit.

3.3 Action Renewables Energy Association (AREA) is the catalyst for transition to a renewable future, and is the sole body representing the entire Renewable Energy Sector in Northern Ireland. Driven by Renewable Energy experts, AREA aims to:

Establish a secure Renewable Energy Policy framework in Northern Ireland

Protect existing Renewable Energy investments

Support the development of the Renewable Energy Sector

3.4 AREA has a vision for a Northern Ireland which has a thriving local economy, protected environment, fuel price stability, energy security and sustainable jobs powered by renewables. With the current policy vacuum for renewable energy in Northern Ireland, the role of AREA is vital.

3.5 Council has worked in collaboration with Action Renewables on a number of occasions, including the Biopad, a project developing an on-line tool for the biomass supply chain and Council have engaged Action Renewables to speak at events, most notably the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Seminar held in February this year.

Page 130 3.6 Joining the AREA is an opportunity for Council to leverage their expertise, knowledge, experience and network to assist with the delivery of the energy goals and initiatives defined within the Strategic Growth Plan.

Title of Report: Officer presenting:

APSE Energy Head of Capital Development & Building Control

Author:

Energy Manager

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval in to join the APSE Energy Association.

2 Background

2.1 Council has been a long standing member of APSE and has hosted a number of local events for and on behalf of APSE. Council has seen real benefit in sharing knowledge, expertise and collaboration opportunities with other APSE members both in Northern Ireland and the UK.

2.2 APSE identified amongst the many challenges facing local authorities in the UK, that energy security and reliability would become increasing important as energy prices rise, networks are stretched to capacity and energy sources become scarce. With this in mind, APSE set up a sub-group APSE Energy to complement the services provided under the main APSE organisation.

2.3 APSE Energy is designed to bring councils together to share information, ideas, resources, best practice, and to support local energy projects. Working together will enable Councils to exchange knowledge on finance, law and procurement practices. Apse Energy's objective is to maximise the opportunities for Councils by bringing them together on a national scale to work on the energy agenda.

3 Key Issues

3.1 The Council's Energy Manager has utilised the services of APSE Energy to provide advice on current initiatives and worked in partnership to deliver an energy seminar as for one of the EU projects on energy efficiency on an Ad-hoc basis. However, APSE energy is seeking to formalise the relationship and has invited Council to join the APSE Energy Association.

Page 133 3.2 Joining the APSE Energy Association is an opportunity for Council to build relations with other Councils in the UK as potential partners for EU and UK energy efficiency projects. It is also an opportunity for council to work in partnership with Councils and other organisations to identify and leverage funding opportunities within the UK.

3.3 As a member of the APSE Energy Association, Council will directly benefit from the expertise and knowledge offered such as:

Building links with the Energy Industry and exploring opportunities for council to realise the financial, economic and social benefits of localised energy generation.

Provide consultancy and support for the development of a strategic approach to the introduction of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency.

Resource portal giving access to a range of toolkits, guides, feasibilities studies, benchmark data and good practice case studies.

Technical updates and government briefings on energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Network opportunities and access to strategic mapping of developments in municipal energy at Council level.

Access to practical workshops, round table discussions, conferences and seminars designed specifically around the energy challenges faced by Councils.

3.4 It is proposed to join the APSE Energy Association initially for a period of one year, after which an evaluation of the benefits to council over the year will be carried out prior to renewing the annual subscription.

4 Financial and Other Implications

4.1 As an existing APSE member Council is eligible to a discount for joining the APSE Energy Association for a reduced annual fee of £2,000 excluding VAT.

5 Recommendations

5.1 Members are asked to approve joining the APSE Energy Association for a trial period of one year for a fee of £2,000 excluding VAT.

Title of Report: Officer presenting:

Sustainable NI Head of Capital Development & Building Control

Author:

Energy Manager

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval in relation to support for Sustainable NI.

2 Background

2.1 Members are reminded of Environment and Regeneration Committee minute ER161/16 which approved support for Sustainable NI for 2016/17.

2.2 Council’s statutory duty to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development under the 2006 Act has been reinforced in the Community Planning component of the 2014 Local Government Act. It is clear in its sustainability mandate to the eleven new councils; using the language of wellbeing – economic, social and environmental – it provides a refreshed obligation for councils, as well as their statutory partners, to advance sustainable development in Northern Ireland. In addition, the new Strategic Planning Policy Statement, providing councils with strategic direction for local development plans, is founded on the principles of sustainable development.

2.3 To foster the pursuit of sustainability among councils, Sustainable NI established and manages the Local Government Sustainable Development Forum, a NI network of officers responsible for sustainable development and providing critical support for councils in the SD statutory duty compliance process, providing an environment in which colleagues have been able to share experience and intelligence in an atmosphere of trust and mutual support.

Page 137 3 Key Issues

3.1 Sustainable NI has provided expert advice on sustainability issues, as well as signposting to policy research and case studies, in areas as diverse as renewable energy, spatial planning, sustainable food and climate change adaptation. It has also provided tailored support through collaboration on the Sustainability Audit Matrix with one of the predecessor councils and with our sustainable planning publication, Places for People.

3.2 This support has helped to stimulate a healthy level of good practice on sustainable development among councils, especially important in the face of a diminished role undertaken by central government departments. The situation was well illustrated in the OFMDFM SD Statutory Duty Good Practice report, which featured twice as many council initiatives as those from departments.

3.3 Sustainable NI has continued lobby DAERA and the Department of Communities for clarity on the government's reporting requirements for council's compliance with its statutory duty on sustainable development. Sustainable NI through collaboration with all 11 councils and the departments plans to co-design a new structure sustainable development reporting.

3.4 Sustainable NI has contributed to the development of Councils community plan and has provided advice and expert knowledge to council on the development of the Sustainable Food Cities initiative through its experience with a similar initiative in Belfast. Through the work of the Sustainable Development Forum, Sustainable NI has contributed expert advice on a range of issues including green construction, promoting ethical procurement and smart cities initiatives. Sustainable NI is developing tailor made sustainability guidance materials and intends to roll out the initiative later this year.

3.5 Sustainable NI has organised and facilitated a number of visits to sustainable projects such as the 4.8MW solar farm adjacent to Belfast International Airport and a major renovation project in Parliament Buildings, Belfast. Sustainable NI has also supported the SECURE, Smarter Energy Communities European project.

3.6 Continued support from Council through funding underpins the existence of Sustainable NI and the Local Development Sustainable Development Forum.

3.7 To ensure an open and transparent deployment of the funding, a Service Level Agreement (SLA) (Appendix 1) has been developed which outlines the responsibilities of Council and Sustainable NI in respect to the service they will be providing to Council. Sustainable NI has agreed a number of key objectives with Council Officers. These include:

Page 138 • Provide assistance and guidance for Council to comply with the departments' reporting requirements through a Sustainability toolkit.

• Assist Council to develop a Sustainability Policy and Action Plan

• Work in partnership with Council to build Sustainability into its plans for the delivery of the Strategic Growth plan.

• Manage, maintain and expand the Sustainable Development Forum to promote good practice at a local level.

• Provide support to Council and other public bodies to deliver government initiatives to meet sustainability and energy reduction targets in the region.

• Promote understanding and awareness of sustainability issues in Council through the provision of staff training, workshops and other events.

• Work in collaboration with Council on EU project delivery to raise awareness on sustainable initiatives, through seminars, training and workshops.

• Work in partnership with Council to develop strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change at a regional level.

• Work in partnership with Council to advise and support the Sustainable Food Cities application process and the development of a regional Food Network initiative.

3.8 It is anticipated that the delivery of some of the these objectives will take longer than one year and it is proposed run the SLA for a period of three years with an annual review and realignment of the core objectives.

4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR and Other Implications

4.1 Council has received a request for funding support to Sustainable NI at the same rate provide in previous years, namely, £5,000.

5 Recommendations

5.1 Members are asked to endorse the three year SLA and approve annual financial support for Sustainable NI for 2017/18 to the value of £5,000

Title of Report: Officer Presenting: Director of Environment & Regeneration Greenway Signage as part of Healthy Routes Project Author: Sustrans

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations

1.1 The purpose of the report is to inform Members on the background and issues arising in relation to a National Charity Partnership funded community health project that seeks to utilise the Council owned walking and cycling Greenway Network.

1.2 To seek Members’ endorsement of the project and to allocate budget provision to improve the basic level of signage along older sections of the Network.

2 Background

2.1 Bogside & Brandywell Health Forum (BBHF) is a community-led project tasked with bringing together many different groups and agencies in order to enhance the health and well-being of the people in the Bogside & Brandywell community and the wider Health & Social Care Trust area. Established in 2001, it has an excellent track record in partnership-building towards better health and led several dynamic partnerships including Investing for Health, Foyle Tranquilliser Initiative (FTI) and the Neighbourhood Health Improvement Project (NHIP).

2.2 The BBHF was awarded funding from the National Charity Partnership (NCP) to initiate a project to improve Physical activity by offering structured access to Walking, Jogging/Running and Cycling.

2.3 Subsequent to the project’s success the NCP approached the BBHF with the offer of developing a further legacy project. Meetings with BBHF, NCP, Sustrans and Council led to the development of the Healthy Routes project.

2.4 The project seeks to map and promote six traffic free routes using the local walking and cycling network. Routes will be categorised based on level of difficulty and will highlight the estimated time it takes to complete, making it more attractive to potential users.

2.5 The NCP have offered to invest £15,000 towards the costs of bespoke route signage, mapping, leaflet/panel design and production.

Page 141 3 Key Issues

3.1 The BBHF and Sustrans have identified a disparity in the amount and quality of signage along the Greenway Network in the DCSDC area.

3.2 For example, there is a good signage scheme along newer section through St Columbs Park, Peace Bridge and Queens Quay.

3.3 Some sections of the Network, such as the Foyle Valley Greenway “out the line” to the Ballougry Road, are over 17 years old and are now void of even basic signage to orientate users and encourage more use.

4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR, Improvement and other Implications

4.1 Officers have reviewed the routes and identified that need to replace and upgrade existing signage along these routes with an initial estimate of £5000. This will include for the removal of existing damaged or missing signage, posts etc and the purchase and erection of new signage etc.

4.2 An audit of key routes will be undertaken to identify any remedial works beyond signage that may be required. These will be prioritised, costed and brought to members for consideration in due course.

4.3 Budget provision will be made from within existing departmental budgets.

5 Recommendations

5.1 Members are asked to endorse the Healthy Routes project and agree that officers engage with Bogside & Brandywell Health Forum to progress, and to allocate appropriate budget provisions to upgrade older signage along the greenway network.

Page 143 This page is intentionally left blank Dear colleague,

The following email below has been received through the Councils website and has been forwarded to you for your information or action.

Many thanks, Jacqui Harkin - Extn: 6713

From: McLeod, Elizabeth [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 21 August 2017 12:27 Subject: Office of Rail and Road consults on new guidance and changes to its economic enforcement policy to reflect Northern Ireland regulations

Dear Stakeholder,

Today the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has published a consultation on draft guidance for The Railways Infrastructure (Access, Management and Licensing of Railway Undertakings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 (the NI Regulations) and proposed changes to its existing economic enforcement policy. You can find the consultation here.

In January 2017 Directive 2012/34/EU, came into force in Northern Ireland through the NI Regulations. Directive 2012/34/EU requires a single national regulatory body for the railway sector in each Member State and provides that body with, among other things, enforcement powers. In addition, the ORR became the regulatory body for the railway sector in Northern Ireland, taking over that role from the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland. This is a consultation on draft guidance for the NI Regulations and proposed changes to our existing economic enforcement policy. New guidance and changes to our enforcement policy are required to reflect the NI Regulations and as such primarily affect stakeholders in Northern Ireland and users of the cross-border railway only.

ORR is keen to hear the views of stakeholders as part of this policy review.

This consultation will close on 29 September 2017.

Kind Regards

Liz McLeod

Title of Report: Officer presenting:

Presence of Mica Affected Concrete Head of Capital Development & Building Blocks in DCSDC Area Control

Author:

Head of Capital Development & Building Control

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations

1.1 Following a request from Members at the Environment & Regeneration meeting in June 2017, this report has been prepared to update members on a desk top investigation into the possible use of mica affected concrete blocks in the Derry City & Strabane District Council Area.

2 Background

2.1 Members may be aware of the problem that has a risen in County Donegal whereby multiple private and local authority dwellings are exhibiting very significant structural defects in the exterior walls of these properties. The extent of defects is such that they are compromising the structural integrity of the affected dwellings and giving rise to considerable personal upset and worry for the many homeowners involved.

2.2 This problem first became apparent in approximately 2013. It was noticed that extensive and progressive cracking developed in the exterior walls of relatively recently constructed dwellings (i.e. 4 to 12 years old), along with spalling of the sand cement render finish to the affected walls. In conjunction with the cracking in the external walls, it was also noticed that the individual concrete blocks from which the walls were constructed appeared to be disintegrating. The combination of these defects has compromised the structural integrity of the affected dwellings.

Page 267 2.3 Investigations into the problem, instigated by affected property owners, along with laboratory testing of the affected blocks revealed that the concrete blocks contained a high content of muscovite mica in the fine and coarse aggregate makeup of the concrete blocks. Muscovite mica is a naturally occurring mineral contained in rock types common in the north west of Ireland e.g. mica schist. The problems associated with excessive muscovite mica in concrete are well researched and documented globally, which include reducing both the strength of the concrete and its workability and making the concrete susceptible to spalling under alternating freeze/thaw conditions.

2.4 Investigations undertaken to date would appear to indicate that the vast majority of properties exhibiting this problem were constructed using concrete blocks supplied by a single concrete products manufacturer in Donegal.

2.5 The Department of Housing, Planning Community and Local Government in the Republic of Ireland appointed an expert panel of engineers and geologists to investigate and report on this matter in April 2016. The panel noted in June 2017 in a report into the matter that the minimum number of potential properties affected in Donegal by this problem is likely to be approximately 1,200 dwellings but this estimate may rise to as much as 4,800 dwellings eventually.

2.6 The Expert Panel has set out five technical options for addressing the defects associated with these dwellings, which range from replacing the defective outer leaf of the external cavity walls of the affected properties with a new leaf of suitably quality assured blockwork, to complete demolition of the affected properties and their entire reconstruction. The Panel does not make a definitive recommendation on which is the appropriate option that should be adopted by property owners.

3 Key Issues

3.1 At a recent Environment and Regeneration Committee meeting, members sought confirmation as to whether officers were aware of any reports of concrete blocks from the suspected manufacturer of the defective blocks used in County Donegal having been supplied to construction sites in the Derry City and Strabane District Council area. Members also sought clarification of any communication officers have had with their colleagues in Donegal County Council regarding this matter.

3.2 A short desk top investigation has now been undertaken by officers into the presence of any properties within the DCSDC area exhibiting the problems associated with mica affected concrete blocks.

Page 268 3.3 Council's own Building Control team are only aware of one site within the DCSDC area to which concrete blocks were supplied by the manufacturer referred to in Section 2.4. The circumstances of this report are dealt with in greater detail in Section 3.8 below.

3.4 Eight firms of Northern Ireland based consulting structural engineers known to undertake commissions in the DCSDC area were contacted by officers to enquire whether they were acting on behalf of any property owners with dwellings in the DCSDC area that exhibited the structural problems associated with mica affected concrete blocks. Of the six firms who responded to our request, four of the firms confirmed that they had not been approached regarding this mater in connection with any buildings in the DCSDC area. One consultant was involved in the case in the Council area referred to in Section 3.3 above and this is dealt with in greater detail in Section 3.8 below. Two of the six firms had inspected a number of mica affected properties in Donegal.

3.5 Officers attended a recent public meeting held in County Donegal, which had been organised by the Mica Action Group (i.e. a group comprising affected property owners in Donegal) at which the consulting engineer who is understood to be advising the majority of the property owners spoke. This consulting engineer was subsequently contacted by officers and he confirmed that he was not advising any owners of properties located in the DCSDC area.

3.6 Officers contacted the NHBC who are the leading independent provider of warranty and insurance for new homes in the UK to enquire whether they were involved with any properties in the DCSDC area that were suspected of being affected by this type of defective block. NHBC's local representative was able to confirm that they have not been asked to inspect any homes within the DCSDC area in respect to mica affected concrete blocks.

3.7 Officers contacted one of the largest private housing developers in the north west who constructs houses for both private sale and on behalf of housing associations. Officers enquired whether the developer had had any issues with mica affected blocks on any of their sites. The firm confirmed that they had experienced no such problems. They also confirm that they had robust procedures in place to ensure the quality of material used on their sites. The firm also commented that their Housing Associations customers were aware of this issue and that the associations were increasingly seeking evidence from their contractor's that systems where in place for confirming the quality of concrete products being used on their sites.

Page 269 3.8 As mentioned in Section 3.3 & 3.4 above, Building Control understand that blocks were supplied to one social housing site in Derry from the Donegal based concrete products manufacturer implicated in the mica affected concrete block problem. It is understood that when this matter became apparent, samples of the concrete blocks on the site where taken for laboratory testing. The consulting engineer advising the developer was content that the test results, while confirming the presence of some muscovite mica within the test samples, indicated that the level of this mineral in the blocks was below the recommended maximum value and should therefore, be satisfactory for use.

3.9 The Head of Capital Development and Building Control has recently written to all staff in both the Capital Development and Building Control teams to emphasise the importance that officers remain vigilant in respect to this matter and the wider matter of compliance of building products with the relevant regulations. Both teams continue to liaise with their colleagues in Council's Environmental Health team, who have responsibility for enforcing the requirements of the EU/UK Construction Products Regulations.

3.10 Officers made contact with the manager of the Building Control service in Donegal County Council about this matter. While the technical aspects of the Building Regulations in Donegal are broadly similar to those in the Northern Ireland, how the Regulations are implemented in the Republic is very different from here. The certification of building designs and the inspection of construction work on site are not undertaken by Council officers. Instead, applicants engage the services of registered independent construction professionals called the Design Certifier and the Assigned Certifier. The Design Certifier certifies that the proposed building design complies with the Regulations. Then once the works are complete on site, the Assigned Certifier issues the Certificate of Compliance on Completion, which is signed by both the Builder and by the Assigned Certifier. However, in recent years the government in the Republic introduced an amendment to their Building Regulations whereby a facility now exists to opt out of the requirements to obtain statutory certificates of compliance signed by registered construction professionals for the design and construction of single dwellings, or extensions to dwellings. The focus of the local authority is then "to deploy available resources towards the inspection and investigation of those construction projects where the risk of failure is highest" (Code of Practice for Inspecting and Certifying Buildings and Works - Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, RoI).

Page 270 3.11 While Donegal County Council are acutely aware of the problems associated with mica affected blocks, there is a limit to what they can do with regards to this problem. Under the EU CE Marking Regulations, DCC have obtained certificates of compliance from the concrete product manufacturer believed to be the original source of the vast majority of the defective concrete blocks.

Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful Author:

Annual Cleanliness Survey Monitoring and Compliance Manager

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek Members approval to reappoint Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful (KNIB) to undertake independent cleanliness surveys across the entire Council District.

2 Background

2.1 Derry City and Strabane District Council had previously engaged KNIB to undertake independent cleanliness surveys throughout the Council District enabling the Council to benchmark cleanliness performance against other participating Local Authorities across Northern Ireland.

2.2 The survey inspections are conducted on a quarterly basis and involve the recording and reporting of cleanliness levels within the Council Area. The process involves surveying 8 land use types on a pre-determined basis and quantifying the different types of litter deposited. The 8 land use types are;

 Main Retail and Commercial Areas 10 transects  Other Retail and Commercial Areas 8 Transects  Rural roads 10 Transects  Main Roads 10 Transects  High Obstruction Housing areas 18 Transects  Low Obstruction Housing areas 18 Transects  Recreational Areas and Industry and Warehousing, Retail Sheds and Science Parks 8 Transects

Page 277 3 Key Issues

3.1 The proposed programme will involve conducting 4 quarterly surveys annually with 100 transects accessed per survey.

3.2 Completing 100 transect surveys provides a level of statistical confidence in the results reflecting the physical distribution of land use throughout the Council Area.

3.3 The surveys are conducted by trained KNIB assessors without prior notification to the Council. The results are returned quarterly and include specific statistics for the Council along with the average results of all participating Councils surveyed in that quarter for benchmarking assessment. In addition environmental quality indicators are recorded and measured for issues such as street staining, flyposting and Graffiti.

3.4 The results of the survey are then analysed by the Environments section Monitoring and Compliance Manager and discussed with the operational Managers ensuring improvements and good practice are implemented within operational activities.

4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR, Improvement and other Implications

4.1 The cost of participating in the survey is £7841.25 + VAT per annum. KNIB are offering the service on a three year fixed term basis with costs protected for those Councils signing a three year contract agreement.

4.2 Provision for this service has been made within existing budgets.

5 Recommendations

5.1 That Council participate in the annual Keep NI Beautiful cleanliness survey on a 3 year fixed term basis for the sum of £7841.25 plus vat per annum.
