Cornwall Minerals DPD Mineral Resource and Infrastructure Assessment 2 Adoption December 2018

1 Introduction 1. This evidence report supports the Minerals Safeguarding Development Plan Document (DPD). It sets out the assessment criteria used to consider the various mineral resources found within Cornwall and their potential for safeguarding.

2 Mineral Safeguarding Policy and Guidance 2.1 National Planning Policy Framework 2. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that mineral safeguarding areas be defined for local and nationally important mineral resources as well as existing, planned and potential transport and other mineral infrastructure. The NPPF defines mineral safeguarding areas (MSAs) as “ an area designated by mineral planning authorities which covers known deposits of minerals which are desired to be kept safeguarded from unnecessary sterilisation by non-mineral development”. The NPPF does make it clear that any designated MSA does not create a presumption in favour of mineral working in those areas.

2.2 Planning Practice Guidance 3. The Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) on ‘Minerals’ was published in October 2014 and provides further information and guidance on the NPPF; it will be updated in due course following the publication of the revised NPPF. The Guidance advocates a systematic approach to safeguarding of mineral resources; use the best available information on the location of mineral resources; consult the mineral industry, local communities and other relevant interests; set out Mineral Safeguarding Areas on the policies map; adopt clear development management policies which set out how proposals for non-minerals development in Mineral Safeguarding Areas will be managed.

2.3 Cornwall Local Plan Policy 2016 4. The Cornwall Local Plan provides the strategic policy framework for the Minerals Safeguarding DPD, setting out the principle of mineral safeguarding. The Local Plan was adopted in November 2016.

5. Policy 18 sets out the strategic principles for safeguarding mineral resources and infrastructure.

Policy 18: Minerals safeguarding 1. Important mineral resources and reserves and existing, planned and potential bulk transport, storage, handling and processing facilities and sites shall be safeguarded from sterilisation by other forms of incompatible development.

2. Mineral Safeguarding Areas will be identified for the following minerals resources and reserves;  aggregates (both primary and secondary),  china clay,

Cornwall Minerals DPD Mineral Resource and Infrastructure Assessment 3 Adoption December 2018

 building and ornamental stone (including roofing and heritage materials) and  metals (including relevant shafts and adits),

3. Mineral Safeguarding Areas will be identified for the following existing, planned and potential mineral infrastructure;  key concrete batching and other products and roadstone coating,  storage, handling, processing and distribution of minerals,  the bulk transport of minerals by rail, sea (ports) or haul roads.

The Cornwall Minerals Safeguarding Development Plan will develop detailed policy and identify sites for safeguarding minerals, mineral resources and associated facilities for transport, storage, handling and processing for onward transport by rail or sea. Key sites used for the batching / manufacture of concrete products and coated materials will also be identified for safeguarding as well as sites for processing and the distribution of substitute recycled and secondary aggregate materials. Policy will also be developed to encourage prior extraction where appropriate.

2.4 British Geological Survey (BGS) Safeguarding Guidance 6. In 2011 the British Geological Survey produced a guidance document on mineral safeguarding (http://www.bgs.ac.uk/mineralsuk/planning/legislation/home.html under Mineral Safeguarding). This document set out a step-by-step guide to identifying and defining mineral resources which would be appropriate for safeguarding.

Step 1 involves the identification of the best geological and mineral resource information.

Step 2 decide which mineral resources are to be safeguarded and the physical extent of the safeguarding area.

Step 3 consult on the scope of mineral safeguarding areas.

Step 4 decide on the approach to safeguarding within planning policy.

Step 5 include effective development management policies within DPDs.

Step 6 is not relevant to Cornwall as it refers to two-tier authorities and step 7 relates to implementation of mineral safeguarding.

Cornwall Minerals DPD Mineral Resource and Infrastructure Assessment 4 Adoption December 2018

3 Identification of Mineral Resources and Infrastructure for Safeguarding 7. To assess the main mineral resources in Cornwall, the step-by-step process from the BGS ‘Mineral Safeguarding in England: Good Practice Advice’ has been applied.

3.1 Mineral Resource Information 8. To aid the analysis of mineral resources in Cornwall there are various sources of information; these include BGS Mineral Factsheet, BGS ‘Mineral resource information for development plans’, industry knowledge and other publications such as H G Dines1 and J H Trounson2. In addition, regard has been paid to the NPPF and PPG.

3.2 Methodology for Assessing Mineral Resources and Infrastructure 9. The BGS guidance step 2 requires the identification of mineral resources that should be safeguarded. In order to assess the mineral resources of Cornwall, a criteria based approach has been developed. This approach is consistent with other authorities. The following criterion and ‘traffic light’ scoring system has been used to assess the mineral resources, as set out in Table 1 Mineral Resource Assessment Criteria.

Table 1 Mineral Resource Assessment Criteria

Criterion Code Judgement Ability for the Green The resource can be easily defined from map resource to be data defined in Amber There is some uncertainty with definition geological mapping Red The resource is difficult to define from map data

Scarcity/ Green The extent of the resource is very limited Occurrence of resource Amber The extent of the resource is fairly limited

Red The resource exists over large areas

Availability of Green The quality/viability of the resource is clearly evidence of demonstrated quality/viability Amber There is some evidence of quality/viability of the resource Red There is no evidence of quality/viability

Current and Green Significant level of current or future working future levels of extraction Amber Medium/low level of current or future working

Red Little or no current or future working

Quality of the Green High quality and/or wide range of uses resource and range of uses Amber Medium quality and/or medium potential for use

Red Low quality and/or limited range of uses

Potential Green Significant parts of the resource are likely to face conflict with pressure from other strategic development other forms of Amber Some parts of the resource may face pressure strategic from other strategic development development Red The resource is unaffected by pressure from other strategic development

10.It is also a requirement of the NPPF to safeguarding existing, planned and potential bulk transport, handling and processing of minerals and the manufacture of concrete and concrete products and the handling, processing and distribution of substitute, recycled and secondary aggregate material.

11.A different set of assessment criteria has been developed to assess the safeguarding potential of the known mineral infrastructure. The following criterion and ‘traffic light’ scoring system has been used to assess the mineral infrastructure, as set out in Table 2 Mineral Infrastructure Assessment Criteria.

Table 2 Mineral Infrastructure Assessment Criteria

Criterion Code Judgement Site is active Green Yes

Red No

Uses Green The site is used and is likely to be used in the future Amber The site has been used in the last 10 years

Red The site has not been used in the recent past (10 years) Location Green The site is located adjacent to the Strategic Road Network (SRN), a rail network or sea route or quarry Amber The site is located within 5km of the SRN, rail, sea with good access or within 5km of a quarry Red The site is relatively inaccessible/remote

Potential Green Significant parts of the infrastructure are likely conflict with to face pressure from other strategic other forms of development

strategic Amber Some parts of the infrastructure may face development pressure from other strategic development Red The infrastructure is unaffected by pressure from other strategic development Future Green The site is likely to be used in the future potential Amber Some evidence that the site could be used in the future Red Evidence suggests that the site is not suitable for future uses

12.In the following safeguarding assessment, all criteria have been weighted equally and all score 1. The application of the criteria and the assessments enable the appropriate level of mineral resource and infrastructure safeguarding to ensure mineral use for the future.

3.3 Mineral Resources in Cornwall 13.The following mineral resource types in Cornwall have been assessed; aggregates, building stone including heritage material, china clay and metals. The following section sets out the safeguarding assessment for each of these mineral sectors.

4 Safeguarding Assessments 4.1 Aggregates 14.Step 1: The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that mineral safeguarding areas should be defined and appropriate policies adopted so that known location of specific mineral resources of local and national importance are not needlessly sterilised. Mineral planning authorities should plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates.

15.The BGS Factsheet on construction aggregates states that the suitability of an aggregate for a particular purpose depends on its physical, mechanical and in some applications chemical/mineralogical properties.

16.The BGS Report ‘Mineral resource information for development plans’ states that granites are the most extensive igneous rocks in Cornwall and account for a major proportion of primary crushed rock output. Granite aggregates are commonly used as coarse and fine concreting aggregate, asphalt material and unbound road material. In some cases granite has a sufficiently high polished stone value (PSV) to be used in less demanding road surfacing applications. Granites vary considerably in texture and appearance and there is considerable variation in rock strength. BGS data suggests that strength and PSV are independent of granite variety and texture and instead reflect local variations in weathering and secondary alteration. Therefore it is difficult to identify any high quality resources. Basic igneous rocks, such as basalt, dolerite, gabbro and picrite are less extensive than granites. However, these types of stone are used in coarse and fine concreting aggregate, asphalt material and unbound road aggregate. Sandstones occur within the Devonian and Carboniferous formation in north and mid-Cornwall around Bude and east and central Cornwall. The presence of interbedded shales

Cornwall Minerals DPD Mineral Resource and Infrastructure Assessment 7 Adoption December 2018

reduces the aggregate potential of the resource. There are limited resources of primary sand and gravel in Cornwall. Small outcrops of Tertiary and Quaternary sediments, such as those or Crousa Downs on the Lizard and around St Agnes Head have been worked. A small deposit of alluvial sand was previously worked at Trewint Marsh on the edge of Bodmin Moor; however, this resource is worked out. Further information on the level of aggregate production is available in the annual Local Aggregate Assessment.

17.Step 2: The following sites are known to produce aggregate; these are listed in Table 3 Aggregate Resources in Cornwall, along with any unique properties/features.

18.The assessment criteria identified in Table 1 Mineral Resource Assessment Criteria have been applied to the known aggregate resources and the results are set out in Table 4 Aggregate Mineral Resource Assessments. Given the abundance of primary aggregate resources in Cornwall, it is considered appropriate to safeguard permitted proven high quality resources which can be delineated.

4.2 Building and Heritage Stone 19.Step 1: The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that mineral safeguarding areas should be defined and appropriate policies adopted so that known location of specific mineral resources of local and national importance are not needlessly sterilised. The NPPF also states that Mineral Planning Authorities should consider how to meet any demand for small-scale extraction of building stone at, or close to, relic quarries needed for the repair of heritage assets.

20.The BGS Mineral Factsheet: Building and roofing stone states that building and roofing stone, are naturally occurring rocks of igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic origin which are sufficiently consolidated to enable them to be cut, shaped or split into blocks or slabs.

21.BGS report ‘Mineral resource information for development plans’ says that granite occurs in four large ‘plutons’ at Land’s End, Carnmenellis, St Austell and Bodmin Moor. In addition there are a number of smaller outcrops occurring throughout the county. There is considerable variation in the appearance of granite from one location to another, from fine-grained types to coarse-grained granite with large individual feldspar crystals exceeding 10cm in length.

22.Basic igneous rocks such as basalt, dolerite, gabbro and picrite occur within the Devonian and Lower Carboniferous slate and sandstone. There is considerable variation in lithology and technical properties between these basic igneous rocks. Serpentine occurs on the Lizard and on a restricted sale in East Cornwall; it is highly coloured and soft and is used for ornamental purposes. However, it has been used in the past as a building material. In Cornwall there are considerable volumes of sandstone, particularly in the north and east of the County. Despite extensive resources, limited amounts of sandstone are produced in Cornwall, perhaps reflecting the cost of working the resource. A few smaller quarries extract sandstone for building materials alongside their main aggregate extraction.

23.Slates underlie much of Cornwall and are commonly interbedded with coarser-grained siltstone and sandstone. The slates are variable in nature and colour ranging from dark to light grey with green and red hues. Slates which can be split are used for roofing but their occurrence is more restricted. Cornwall is an important source of roofing slate, including Delabole slate noted for its distinctive silvery grey colour. Elsewhere operations are small-scale mainly producing rustic slate, commonly used for paving, cladding, walling and fireplaces.

24.Step 2: The following sites are known to produce aggregate; these are listed in Table 5 Building Stone Resources in Cornwall, along with any unique properties/features.

heritage projects. In 2006, a study was commissioned by Cornwall County Council to consider the old disused quarries in Cornwall. This study identified those quarries which have the potential to be used for heritage projects and restoration. Quarries which scored 6 or above in the initial study were then considered through the safeguarding assessment process. Further information is available www.cornwall.gov.uk/mineralsdpd.

26.The assessment criteria identified in Table 1 Mineral Resource Assessment Criteria have been applied to the known building stone resources and the results are set out in Table 6 Building Stone Mineral Resource Assessments and Table 7 Heritage Mineral Resource Assessments. It is considered appropriate to safeguard resources which are scarce, or have particular qualities.

4.3 China Clay 27.Step 1: The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that mineral safeguarding areas should be defined and appropriate policies adopted so that known location of specific mineral resources of local and national importance are not needlessly sterilised.

28.China clay is scarce nationally; resources are confined to the granites of South West England and Cornwall accounts for some 90% of total UK production. Historically china clay production has been based principally on the central and western parts of the St Austell granite and on the south- western margin of Dartmoor.

29.The properties of the china clay deposits vary both within and between puts and blending to achieve consistency is critically important Due to the presence of hard, unaltered granite and quartz/tourmaline veins overall recoveries of china clay may be as low as 10%.

30.The BGS has identified two classes of china clay resource; these are (i) measured and indicated resources (those resources which are known to occur and coincide with current production areas where detailed exploration and evaluation has been undertaken) and (ii) inferred resources (those areas where the industry believe china clay deposits may occur including previously worked areas but there are no current plans to develop these resources).

31.Step 2: The assessment criteria identified in Table 1 Mineral Resource Assessment Criteria have been applied to the known ‘measured and indicated’ and ‘inferred’ china clay resources and the results are set out in Table 8 China Clay Mineral Resource Assessments, these are set out by Operational Area (a means of breaking down the mineral planning permission that covers the extent of the St Austell China Clay area). It is felt that, in discussion with the industry, it is possible to safeguard measured/indicated and inferred resources which are considered to be economically important.

4.4 Metals 32.Step 1: The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that mineral safeguarding areas should be defined and appropriate policies adopted so that known location of specific mineral resources of local and national importance are not needlessly sterilised.

33.The BGS ‘Mineral resource information for development plans’ has identified zones of intense hydrothermal vein mineralization and zones of scattered stratiform vein and stratiform mineralization in certain horizons within the slate, sandstone and basic igneous rocks throughout Cornwall that are enriched in metals. These include veins and stratiform deposits that are unrelated to the granites and their thermal influence, which cover broad areas across the County and do not appear give an indication of whether there is a quality of resource of such form quality and quantity that has reasonable prospect for eventual economic extraction. The principal metallic ores extracted in the County have been tin, copper and iron. The veins within and close to the granites mostly carry tin, in places with tungsten and arsenic. In some areas, for example around Gunnislake, the veins are noted for their polymetallic character.

34.As working metal resources has historically mainly taken place underground, the Council worked with the Cornish Chamber of Mines and Minerals (CCMM) in 2006 to identify a list of strategically important shafts that could potentially be considered for inclusion within mineral safeguarding areas. The study defined shafts at each site that would provide optimum access to any remaining mineral resource capable of being extracted via existing underground mine workings, or feasible extensions to them. The remit of the study did not include the portals of drainage tunnels (adits) or the definition of surface areas required for operational infrastructure, which would be needed to render development of the mineral resource viable. The scope and results of the study are included in Appendix 1 of the Minerals Safeguarding DPD Evidence Report Metals.

35.Initial discussions with the BGS have indicated that safeguarding an area around strategic shafts is a suitable approach to metalliferous safeguarding. Further information on the identification of strategically important shafts is available at www.cornwall.gov.uk

36.Step 2: The assessment criteria identified in Table 1 Mineral Resource Assessment Criteria have been applied to the known metalliferous mining areas and shafts identified by CCMM and the results are set out in Table 9 Metal Mineral Resource Assessments.

4.5 Infrastructure 37.The requirement of the NPPF can be divided into two main categories; infrastructure associated with the transportation of minerals and infrastructure associated with the processing of minerals into other products.

38.The potential locations of rail and sea facilities are more limited and less flexible. The following mineral transport sites have been assessed:  Burngullow rail siding  Dean Quarry Wharf  Fowey Docks  Lostwithiel to Fowey railway  Methrose siding  Par Docks  Par Docks to Fowey Docks haul road  Parkandillack/Treviscoe rail siding  Parkandillack branch line  Rocks rail siding  West of England Quarry Wharf  Falmouth Wharves

39.To some extent many of the mineral processing facilities are ‘footloose’ and as such could be located within industrial estates or construction sites.

40.However, known locations of minerals transport and processing infrastructure have been assessed using the criteria set out in Table 2 Mineral Infrastructure Assessment Criteria. The results are show in Table 10 Mineral Infrastructure Assessments.
