3 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2013
Executive Summary This Annual Report for 2013 has been prepared by the South West Aggregates Working Party (SWAWP), previously known as the South West Regional Aggregates Working Party (SWRAWP). As for earlier reports it contains details of land won primary aggregates production and permitted reserves and of marine dredged aggregates landings and resources. Other information on secondary and recycled aggregates and events of interest is also provided along with information on planning decisions and progress on Development Plan Documents. In order to provide an indication of trends, this Annual Report compares data for 2013 with data for earlier years.
In June 2009 the Department for Communities and Local Government published a revised set of National and Regional Guidelines for the Provision of Aggregates in England 2005-2020, now called National and Sub National Guidelines, and these are referred to in this report where appropriate. The National Planning Policy Framework (March 2012) and later guidance on the Managed Aggregates Supply System (October 2012) indicates that the guideline amounts are to be taken into account by Mineral Planning Authorities when planning for the future demand for and supply of aggregates but in planning for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates, MPAs are to prepare an annual Local Aggregates Assessment either individually or, if appropriate, with other MPAs. The guidelines amounts are to be used only to provide an indication of the total amount of aggregate provision that the MPAs, collectively within each Aggregate Working Party, should aim to provide. The Guidelines will also provide individual MPAs where they are having difficulty in obtaining data, with some understanding or context of the overall demand and possible sources that might be available in their Working Party area.
Crushed Rock Production (sales) of crushed rock aggregates (limestone, igneous rock and sandstone) was 17.89mt in 2013, a very slight increase on 2012 (17.34mt) and the same as production in 2011. Somerset continues to be the main production area with about 56% of sales.
Permitted reserves in the region in 2013 amounted to about 905mt at active and inactive sites. This represented a landbank of about 51 years’ production when based on the average of three years production (2011-2013) but only 46 years when based on the average of 10 years’ production 2004-1013. The SWAWP report for 2010 recorded a dormant sites reserve of 306mt; this amount remains valid for 2013. All crushed rock producing MPAs except Gloucestershire had a substantial landbank of permitted reserves (>30 years) in 2013 when based on either the 3 or 10 year sales averages. Approximately 47% of the South West’s permitted reserves were held by sites in Somerset with the bulk of the remaining reserves being shared almost equally between the WoE, Cornwall and Devon.
Land Won Sand and Gravel Production (sales) of land won sand and gravel was only 3.2mt in 2013, about the same as was recorded in 2012. Dorset continues to be the main production area and in 2013 accounted for 50% of sales.
Permitted reserves in the region were only 32.6mt in 2013, representing a fall of c15% on 2012 reserves and a landbank of just 10 years when based on the average of three years production (2011-2013) but only 8.6 years when based on the average of 10 years’ production 2004-2013. Approximately 50% of the South West’s reserves were held at sites in Dorset which had a landbank of about 14 years. Production in Wiltshire continues to be the lowest in the South West at only 0.43mt, just below Devon at 0.49mt, but the landbank in Wiltshire was the lowest in the region at less than 6 years when based on the 3 year sales average and just over 3 years when based on the average of 10 years’ sales.
Marine Dredged Sand and Gravel In 2013, marine dredged landings in the region, mainly sand dredged from licensed areas in the Bristol Channel, amounted to 0.50mt, slightly lower than the 2012 landings of 0.52mt. Avonmouth in Bristol continued to be the main wharf where 0.34mt were landed.
4 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2013
1.0 Introduction 1.1 This report is the latest in a series of Annual Reports that have been published by the Working Party since 1989. The report describes briefly the work undertaken by SWAWP in 2013 and presents quantitative information on the production of aggregates in the South West in that year; their reserves and the landbank of permitted reserves at the end of 2013. As for previous Annual Reports the report also includes information on mineral planning applications and mineral related matters in the South West. Production and reserves information was generally supplied by industry but in some instances estimates may have been made by the MPAs.
1.2 Information is generally presented in a similar format to that used in previous Annual Reports in order to facilitate comparison of statistical data, but where necessary figures are combined or excluded to avoid disclosure of confidential information. Although longstanding confidentiality restrictions were lifted by the then Quarry Products Association (QPA) towards the end of 1999 to facilitate the publication of much more data than previously reported and clarification of the way in which operators’ information can be used has since been issued by the association’s successor, the Mineral Products Association (MPA), not all companies belong to the MPA and therefore some information is still confidential. Moreover, some members of the MPA insist that their information should be treated as confidential. Confidential information is therefore annotated accordingly. Wherever possible, time series information is presented to provide an indication of trends.
1.3 Membership of SWAWP is shown in Appendix 1 of the report. The Working Party is one of 11 Aggregates Working Parties (AWPs) in England and Wales whose membership is drawn from MPAs; the aggregates industry, represented by the Mineral Products Association and the British Aggregates Association (BAA); the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG); the Department for Rural Affairs (DEFRA); the Environment Agency; the Kaolin and Ball Clay Association and the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC). Whilst each of the MPAs is a member of SWAWP and entitled to attend meetings not all of them do so, because of limited mineral interests, and arrangements have been made with the other member authorities to represent them as necessary.
1.4 Aggregates Working Parties were established by the then Department of the Environment in the early 1970’s to identify and consider likely problems in the supply of aggregate minerals. The work of the AWPs provides valuable input to the Managed Aggregates Supply System (MASS) that operates in England and Wales to maintain supplies of construction aggregates. It is not a policy making body but, amongst other things, undertakes data collection to facilitate planning for aggregates and to inform the general reader. Essentially the Working Party produces reports that assess the reserves of rock and sand and gravel (primary materials) and the ‘waste’ materials in the region that are suitable for aggregate production, and monitors supply and demand. Appendix 2 lists the published reports of SWAWP.
1.5 AWPs meet at least once a year depending on business, the nature of which is determined by agreed Terms of Reference (TOR), and the minutes of meetings are available for public inspection, as are those of the National Co- ordinating Group (NCG) for Working Parties which provides a forum for discussion of the work undertaken by the AWPs and gives guidance to the AWPs. The NCG whose membership comprises the AWP Chairmen, representatives from industry and the Secretary of the AWP Secretaries’ Group is chaired by central government officers. A Technical Sub Group (TSG) of officers and representatives who are drawn from the NCG and the AWPs meets as necessary to consider specific aggregate related matters. The AWP Secretaries’ Group also meets as necessary to discuss the work required by the TOR and to consider day to day matters of relevance to aggregates.
1.6 Meetings of SWAWP are normally held at County Hall in Taunton. The Working Party met on the 10th May 2013 and the 26th September 2013. Agenda items at the meetings included;
May 2013:
• Draft Annual Report 2012

2.0 National and Sub National Minerals Planning 2.1 In June 2009 new guidelines for the provision of aggregates were published to replace those which had existed since 2003. These guidelines, ‘National and Regional Guidelines for Aggregates Provision in England 2005 - 2020’ (now called National and Sub National Guidelines) continue to reflect an overall fall in national demand for aggregates and call for an even greater contribution to supplies from alternatives to primary aggregates. However, following the publication of the National Planning Policy Framework1 and Guidance on The Managed Aggregates Supply System2 the guidelines now play a supporting role in the consideration of the future supply of aggregates; this suite of guidance requires MPAs either individually or with other MPAs if appropriate to produce an annual Local Aggregates Assessment. This is to be based on the average of 10 years’ sales (production) but with due consideration to the average of 3 years’ sales and other local information in order to take account of any emerging trend in sales. Further details of this ‘localism’ approach to assessing the future demand for and supply of aggregates is given in Section 3.
2.2 Table 1 is reproduced from information taken from the National and Sub National Guidelines (June 2009) and shows the guideline amounts for both primary and alternative aggregates for the period 2005 - 2020. Nationally the revised guidelines are 2.4% below the previous guidelines. Table 1 National and Sub National Guidelines for Aggregates Provision in England 2005-2020 (million tonnes)

2.3 In August 2010 SWAWP resolved to present the figures shown in Table 2 to CLG as the technical advice of SWAWP on the apportionment of the guideline figures for the South West to individual MPAs. These figures were to be tested by MPAs at the local level.

2.4 The assessment of landbanks for land won primary aggregates in the South West has previously been calculated by SWAWP in two ways; firstly by dividing the permitted reserves by the average of the preceding three years’ production and secondly by dividing reserves by the annualized sub regional apportionment (SRA) shown for each MPA area. However, the significance of the SRA has diminished due to changes in the way in which the assessment of future aggregate requirements is to be calculated and because the NPPF Practice Guidance now requires landbanks to be calculated by dividing the sum in tonnes of all permitted reserves for valid, extant planning permissions by the annual rate of future demand based on the latest annual Local Aggregates Assessment. It would be the landbank as calculated from the LAA that would be considered in the development of any MPA Minerals Local Plan and used by the MPA in the consideration of planning applications for aggregates.
2.5 Because LAAs are a recent development and may not all be for the same year in the region, the landbanks, as based on the previous 3 and 10 years’ sales, are shown in this report to indicate the historic trends as well as the landbank that is based on the most recent LAA; in practice most MPAs have to date not considered that other local factors have warranted a modification of the 10 years’ sales average and it is this amount that their LAAs show as being the LAA amount for primary aggregates. Table 3 shows the landbanks as calculated from the LAAs produced by the South West’s MPAs and Table 6 the landbanks as at the end of 2012 as may be calculated from the average of the preceding three years’ production. Table 7 shows the landbanks for 2013 based on the three and 10 years’ average sales and for comparison both Table 6 and 7 include the landbanks as calculated from the SRA.
2.6 Appendix 3 lists active and inactive primary and secondary aggregates sites in 2013; these sites are also shown on Map 4. Appendix 4 lists details provided by MPAs for ‘fixed’ active and inactive aggregates recycling sites in the South West. For this report the Working Party has endeavored to collate greater detail on secondary and recycled aggregates production than for earlier annual reports; this is covered in Section 5.
2.7 Many of the fixed aggregates recycling sites are located within quarries; elsewhere other sites, which may range considerably in size and complexity, may operate as standalone facilities that have no direct relationship with the primary aggregates industry. Often these are located at waste transfer stations in urban areas which provide much of the construction, demolition and excavation (C, D&E) waste that is then processed into recycled aggregates. These latter sites are popularly termed ‘urban’ or ‘virtual’ quarries because the techniques of crushing the feedstock and screening it into aggregates of various sizes are not too dissimilar to the operations found at a primary aggregates quarry.
8 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2013
3.0 Local Aggregates Assessments 3.1 With the publication of the NPPF and MASS guidance in 2012, DCLG introduced the requirement for MPAs, either individually or with other MPAs, to produce an annual Local Aggregates Assessment. This is to be based upon a rolling average of 10 years’ sales but supported by consideration of other relevant local information such as the average of 3 years’ sales (production) to help identify emerging trends as part of the consideration of whether it might be appropriate to increase supply. This baseline assessment together with an assessment of all supply options (including marine dredged, secondary and recycled sources) would then help MPAs plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates.
3.2 Previously the amounts of aggregates to be planned for by individual MPAs or, where necessary or appropriate, by groups of MPAs were derived from the apportionment of the sub national (aka regional) amounts periodically identified in DCLG’s National and Regional Aggregates Guidelines. The apportioned guidelines amounts now are now only to be taken into account and used as a guideline when MPAs plan for the future demand and supply of aggregates. By taking this approach the Government has enabled MPAs to determine the appropriate level of aggregate extraction, in keeping with its principles for a more localist approach to planning more generally as set out in its Guidance on the Managed Aggregates Supply System (the MASS guidance)3.
3.3 In this guidance the role of the Aggregate Working Parties in monitoring the operation of the MASS is highlighted and this is to include consideration of the adequacy of each LAA. During 2013 six draft LAAs were submitted to SWAWP for consideration (Cornwall; Devon; Dorset; Gloucestershire; Somerset and the four MPAs that jointly make up the West of England) and comments were made accordingly either following a SWAWP meeting at which a specific LAA was tabled or by the SWAWP Secretary seeking comments from SWAWP members between meetings. Since then revised LAAs that in some cases incorporate production and reserves data for 2013 have been prepared by some of these MPAs. In addition to the consideration of the LAAs produced by South West MPAs, SWAWP also commented on LAAs that were referred to it by Hampshire; Oxfordshire; West Berkshire and West Sussex.
3.4 Because MPAs are required to review their LAAs annually it is considered appropriate to report the status and provision being made in the ‘current’ LAA for each South West MPA as at the time of drafting this report. Accordingly this has been done by way of Table 3. It should be noted that with the exception of the Devon LAA, which uses a weighted 10 year sales average, all other LAAs have use a simple 10 year sales average as a starting point in the calculation of the LAA amount but the 10 year period varies slightly between MPAs according to the availability of data at the time of LAA preparation. Although in all cases an LAA amount(s) has been identified it has not been specifically modified to account for other local information, although some LAAs make reference to the supply and demand situations that exist in neighbouring MPAs/AWP areas and the potential effects that shortfalls in supply might have on each other, and to other factors e.g infrastructure, that might influence the provision and distribution of aggregates. In the case of Wiltshire a contingency of 10% has been added to the 10 year sales average.
3.5 Table 3 also shows the relevant 3 year average. In all cases except sand and gravel in Gloucestershire, the 10 year average is higher than the 3 year average, sometimes significantly, particularly in the case of sand and gravel in Wiltshire/Swindon. This is because the last few years are recession years, whereas the 10 year average includes years of much higher production in the early 2000’s. In the case of Gloucestershire’s sand and gravel only a -1.2% change is recorded; in the absence of detailed export data for the three years it is likely that the effects of the recession were being offset locally by slightly higher exports to Oxfordshire which saw three of its sand and gravel quarries being mothballed during this period. It is anticipated that DCLG’s 4 yearly national aggregates monitoring survey which will be carried out for the year 2014 may shed further light on the veracity of this assumption because it will record exports between MPAs. However, this situation may not be clarified by the survey because of the possibility of the Oxfordshire workings being re-activated in 2014 and a 2014 major extension to another Oxfordshire quarry jointly having a tempering effect on exports from Gloucestershire.
3.6 The NPPF and the later MASS guidance and NPPF Practice Guidance requires MPAs to make provision for the land won and other elements of their LAA in their minerals plans; to use landbanks of aggregates minerals reserves principally as an indicator of the security of aggregate minerals supply and to indicate the additional provision that needs to be made for new aggregate extraction and alternative supplies in mineral plans. In this guidance the landbank is the sum in tonnes of all permitted reserves for which valid planning permissions are extant and the length of the landbank is to be calculated using the expected provision (supply in response to demand) included in the LAA, expressed on an annual basis.

9 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2013
3.7 Local Aggregate Assessments are to be carried out annually and are to inform MPA plans for the future provision of aggregates. The use of the 10 years sales average as may be modified by other local information where appropriate, and also consideration of the 3 year average to pick up on any recent trend towards higher output in response to greater construction activity, is therefore a monitoring tool as well as a means of identifying the provision for aggregates that should be made in MPA mineral plans. Currently the use of LAA amounts in minerals plans is not consistent across the South West as some plans were approved before LAAs but as the LAA process develops it is expected that MPAs will gradually adopt LAA amounts for inclusion in any new plan and will use subsequent LAAs for monitoring performance. When a trend towards greater demand is identified the LAA information may be used as justification for a review of the plan. It is unlikely, however, that a review of a plan would be appropriate for several years after adoption unless significant shortfalls in permitted reserves could be identified which would jeopardise a steady and adequate supply of aggregates.

11 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2013
4.0 Production and Landbanks for Primary Aggregates (Crushed Rock and land won and marine dredged Sand and Gravel) Production
4.1 Table 4 shows the production of crushed rock and sand and gravel in the South West for 2012 and 2013. For both years the figures for land won production are derived from individual Annual Minerals Raised Inquiry (AMRI) forms/summaries provided by industry to the respective MPAs, but they may also include MPA estimates where individual forms or summaries were not supplied. The figures for landings of marine aggregates that were dredged from areas that were licensed for dredging were obtained from Posford Haskoning, Managing Agents Offshore for the Crown Estate. Table 6 shows the landbank situation for primary aggregates in each ‘old’ county as at 31 December 2012, and Table 7 the situation as at 31 December 2013, when based on the preceding 3 years’ sales.
4.2 Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the production of crushed rock aggregates and land won sand and gravel in the South West for the period 1994-2013. In the early 1990’s production of crushed rock in the region exceeded 25mt each year but for the next 10 years it settled to a level of between 20mt and 25mt per annum. As the recession deepened production in 2008 was only 20.33mt, a 10% decrease on 2007, and in 2009 it fell further to only 17.25mt, a fall of 15.5% on 2008. In 2010, however, production rose very slightly to 17.34mt and again in 2011 when it rose by 3% to 17.92mt but in 2012 it fell by 3% to 17.34mt. In 2013, however, production rose again to 17.89mt, a gain of 3%. Variations in the production of land won sand and gravel have not been so great and between 1994 and 2008 it generally remained in the range of 4mt to 5mt per annum; in 2008, however, production was only 4.05mt and this fell again to only 3.15mt in 2009, a fall of 22.2% on 2008. This trend was slightly reversed in 2010 with sales of 3.24mt4, a 3% increase on 2009 and production rose again by 2% in 2011 to 3.3mt only to fall back to 3.18mt in 2012 where it remained in 2013.
4.3 Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the production of these aggregates by MPA area. Somerset has consistently been the main producer of crushed rock with production ranging from about 16mt in the early 1990’s but gradually falling to only 9.98mt in 2013; but this lower level of output is still equivalent to about half of the region’s total output of crushed rock. The West of England (former Avon area) has been the next highest producer of crushed rock over the same period with production ranging from a high of about 6mt in the mid 1990’s but then stabilizing at about 4mt per annum in more recent years. However, production fell to only 2.66mt in 2013. In Devon, the next highest production area, this trend was reversed with production increasing from 2.02mt in 2011 to 2.41mt in 2012, an increase of 19% but falling back to 2.25mt in 2013.
4.4 For land won sand and gravel Dorset continues to be the main producer, a position it has held since the early 1990’s with production generally exceeding 1.5mt each year between 1994 and 2008 but peaking at 1.8mt in 2001. Production fell to its lowest level of only 1.27mt in 2009 but recovered to 1.436mt in 2010 and then rose again to1.52mt in 2011, only to fall back to 1.43mt in 2012. However, production rallied to 1.6mt in 2013. Elsewhere, in Wiltshire and in neighbouring Gloucestershire, where the industry is concentrated in the Upper Thames valley which spans the two counties, production has also fluctuated in recent years. But in Wiltshire there has been a dramatic 60% fall in output from 2009 onwards when production fell to just under 0.5mt from the annual levels of just over 1mt that had been achieved from the late 1990’s and in 2013 it reached its lowest level in 20 years of just 0.434mt. In Gloucestershire, however, production was 0.68mt in 2013, a slight fall on the 0.78mt of 2012, but annual production in the County has remained in the range of 0.7-1m for the last 20 years. In contrast to other South West MPAs Devon’s sales of sand and gravel rose by 11% from 0.44mt in 2011 to 0.49mt in 2012 and remained at this level in 2013.
4.5 The same local markets tend to be supplied by sand and gravel workings in both Gloucestershire and Wiltshire and the same companies operate quarries on both sides of the counties’ common boundary hence the production levels in the two counties probably reflect the companies’ operating strategies and the economic recession rather than market distortions. Permitted reserves in Wiltshire have gradually declined from 11.3mt in 2003 to just 2.62mt in 2013.

4.6 Marine dredged primary aggregates (sand and gravel) that were dredged from licensed areas and landed in the South West amounted to 0.497mt in 2013, virtually the same as in 2011, but slightly less than the 0.522mt recorded in 2012. These amounts exclude material that may have been dredged from areas not in the ownership of the Crown Estate and material that was removed for navigational purposes. In 2013, and as for earlier years, most of the dredged aggregate was sand that was recovered from licensed areas in the Bristol Channel5 and landed at Avonmouth in Bristol (0.338mt). Between 2012 and 2013 landings in the South West fell by about 5%.
4.7 Landings at Poole, from dredging areas off the south coast, amounted to 0.087mt in 2013, a fall of about 9% on 2012. Similar decreases were evident at other principal South West wharves which may have been due to the recession as a whole but also because of a higher level of imports at a new wharf at Yelland in North Devon which also recorded imports of crushed rock aggregate from Scotland ( believed to be from Glensanda Quarry); Yelland recorded landings of only 0.001mt in 2012 but these rose to 0.008mt in 2013. In 2013 landings at Appledore were 0.029mt, with landings of 0.034mt at Bridgwater (Dunball). Landings of marine dredged aggregates amounted to about 13.5% of the region’s total sand and gravel production in 2013 a slight fall on the 2012 contribution of c17%. Figure 5 shows the landings of marine dredged sand and gravel from 2000 to 2013 for the north and south coasts of the South West.
4.8 All marine sand and gravel sales from South West wharves are believed to have been distributed by road, primarily to destinations in the South West. The sand that is dredged from the Bristol Channel is an important source of fine aggregate to markets in the northern part of the South West where it was the third highest source of this aggregate after the land based pits in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. In South Wales, however, it continues to be the principal source of this grade of natural aggregate with 60% of what is dredged from the Channel being landed in South Wales in 2013; this amounted to about 0.624mt.
4.9 Most of the wharves which landed dredged aggregates on the south coast are situated in the South East and only a very small amount from this dredging area was landed in the South West at Poole, the vast majority having been landed at Southampton, Portsmouth and Shoreham from where in 2009 a small amount of dredged material was marketed in nearby parts of the South West6. The marketing radius for marine dredged aggregates is generally about 30km thus greater penetration into the South West as indicated by the AM09 data would probably have been due to sand and gravel having been transported as a return load by HGVs delivering crushed rock from South West quarries to destinations on the south coast or nearby.
4.10 Maps 1- 3 show the location and extent of licensed dredging areas and the operating company names for the Crown Estate’s South West Region (the Bristol Channel) and for the South Coast Region which, for reporting reasons, includes Owers Bank just to the east of the Isle of Wight, as at February 2014. Dredging (total removed) in the Bristol Channel was permitted at a total permitted removal rate of approximately 2.2mt/y, down from 3mt/yr in 2012, although most license areas were in Welsh waters. In total, approximately 1mt of Bristol Channel aggregates were landed at 10 wharf locations on the English and Welsh coasts.
4.11 In the South Coast dredging area there were considerably more active licensed dredging areas (Maps 2 and 3) in 2013 than in the Bristol Channel. Permitted removal on the south coast was 8.7 million tonnes in 2013 and approximately 3.4mt of primary aggregates were dredged but the total removal was 3.6mt as this included c0.17mt of aggregates for beach nourishment- for the purposes of the Crown Estates, beach nourishment and dredged aggregates used for reclamation fill are recorded as secondary aggregates. The dredging industry on the south coast has a wider distribution area than the Bristol Channel industry and exports to ports on mainland Europe.
5 The material from the Bristol Channel comes in a variety of grades ranging from fine sand to concreting “grit” (sediments with an approximate diameter between 0.0125mm and 2mm on the Wentworth scale). Unlike the Bristol Channel dredging area, where gravel is not dredged, the material from the South Coast dredging area comes in a variety of grades ranging from fine to coarser sands through to gravels (sediments with an approximate diameter between 0.0125 and 64mm on the Wentworth scale). 6 AM09 data from Hampshire Local Aggregates Assessment

over the previous 3 years and 10 years, individual MPA sand and gravel landbanks at the end of 2013 were considerably smaller throughout the region, with landbanks in both Gloucestershire and Wiltshire being under 7 years. The landbank in Devon comfortably exceeded 10 years at the end of 2013 but in Dorset, the South West’s main sand and gravel production area, the landbank had fallen from c14 years at the end of 2012 to just under 11 years (based on the average of production 2011-2013.

4.17 It is to be noted that the reserves figures that are supplied to MPAs by the quarrying industry are not assessed on a uniform basis. Some companies are able to accurately establish the amount of the reserves within a planning permission area (permitted reserves) by way of detailed geological assessments, often carried out as part of a planning application for further extraction, whereas other assessments may not be so well informed and quantities may be calculated by using less informative methods. In the case of mineral deposits which are generally consistent in quality and/or quantity for a given permission area and where published geological maps alone may be quite accurate e.g. for Carboniferous limestone deposits, the resultant figures are usually quite accurate but for deposits such as sand and gravel which often exhibit considerable variation, assessments without robust site investigations can be inaccurate.
4.18 However, the assessment of what constitutes a reserve depends also on the economics of extraction; this will depend in part on the individual circumstance at a particular quarry and will also change over time such that the uneconomic proportion of a mineral deposit (resource) may become economically workable and then constitute a reserve, and vice versa. Reserves and resources are also classified according to the degree of information known about them e.g. measured/indicated. Protocols for a consistent approach to calculating reserves and resources have been adopted e.g. a globally recognized code developed by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), recently (2009) incorporated into an updated and wider Pan European Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Reserves (The ‘PERC Reporting Code’), but are not always used by industry, primarily the smaller companies, in supplying information to AWPs as part of their annual surveys or as part of the 4 yearly national AM survey.
4.19 For the purposes of annual reports and the assessment of landbanks, reserves are quantified on the basis of the tonnage of mineral within a planning permission area that can be used for aggregate purposes. Thus a particular tonnage may include reserves and also resources or even a mixture of premium material e.g. for use as a concrete aggregate or skid resistant road surfacing aggregate and, at the other end of the spectrum, poorer quality material that is suitable only for use in lower grade specifications e.g. general fill. Some crushed rock aggregate producers have classified amounts of ‘waste’ rock as a secondary aggregate but for the purpose of this report these are considered to be primary aggregates.
4.20 A different reserve discrepancy may occur when an operator chooses to re classify all or a portion of a rock reserve (frequently limestone) as industrial limestone, for use in smelting for instance, whereas previously it had been reported as a crushed rock aggregate reserve. Where such deposits may have a dual enduse the reserves calculations may fluctuate year on year according to the commercial viability of a deposit as a source of aggregate or chemical grade material, and thus landbanks of aggregate reserves may go up or down even though the amount of rock has not changed to any degree.
19 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2013
4.21 Marine aggregate operators in conjunction with the Crown Estate previously used the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) code for reporting marine reserves of construction aggregates. The code enables offshore operators to differentiate between primary reserves and primary/secondary resources on a license by license basis thereby giving a true reflection of the amount of marine aggregate currently available for construction purposes. However, the Crown Estate and the marine industry figures are now PERC compliant.
4.22 A distinction is made by the marine industry between primary aggregates, which consist of either sand/gravel or sand suitable for use in construction e.g. concrete, and secondary aggregates which consist of sand/gravel or sand of various compositions generally unsuitable for use in construction due to contamination; these latter materials are commonly used for beach recharge. Sand and gravel in license areas is defined as a 50:50 blend on production suitable for use as concreting aggregates and typically contains <20% gravel in situ on the sea bed; sand is defined as a product suitable for use as concreting aggregate or concreting/building sand containing 0-20% gravel on the sea bed but 0-40% gravel on production. Secondary aggregates in the marine dredging context consist of sand/gravel or sand of various compositions that is not generally suitable for a construction use; because of their unpredictable economic viability deposits of secondary aggregates are reported only as resources.

5.0 Secondary and Recycled Aggregates 5.1 Sales of secondary aggregates in the South West in 2013 were approximately 2.2mt, up slightly on the 2mt of sales in 2012. These continue to be mainly associated with the winning and working of china clay, mainly in Cornwall and to a lesser extent in Devon. In Cornwall in excess of 1.8mt of secondary aggregates are estimated to have been produced, up slightly on the 1.6mt of sales in 2012. Devon secondary sales in 2013 amounted to 0.39mt; slightly up on 2012, although sales have been broadly similar since 2009. Around 85% of the secondary aggregates in Devon were derived from china clay wastes, a similar proportion to earlier years. Total sales of secondary aggregates include small amounts of ball clay sand in Devon and slate waste from both Cornwall and Devon areas. Ball clay sand was also produced in Dorset but in this county sand and gravel associated with ball clay production is recorded under primary aggregate sales. 5.2 Cornwall remains the main source of secondary aggregates in the South West with industry estimating that c230mt of reserves of these aggregates are embodied in the china clay waste tips of the St Austell area. As a proportion of Cornwall’s aggregate sales, secondary aggregates now represent in excess of 54% of production. The high proportion of secondary aggregates sales is attributed to the price advantage that they have over primary aggregates as a result of their being exempt from the Aggregates Levy. Secondary aggregates are believed to be marketed primarily by road in Devon and Cornwall but china clay secondary aggregates are also exported by sea via wharves in Plymouth and Fowey, mainly to the South East of England and an additional amount is also transported by rail. 5.3 The other main component of alternative aggregate supply is recycled construction and demolition waste. Previously information on the level of production was not sought from operators on the same basis as for primary aggregates, i.e by site survey, but a survey was carried out by SWAWP MPAs for 2012 and again for 2013. As for 2012, however, it is considered that the information for 2013 is not comprehensive enough to allow a reliable production level to be calculated for the region from the information that was subsequently received and estimates have therefore been made by some MPAs. When estimates for recycled aggregates production are included a South West total in excess of 1.3mt can be estimated for 2013 (Table 8); lack of survey data suggests, however, this may be a considerable underestimate as in 2012 the estimate was an amount greater than 2.41mt. 5.4 Until such time as robust data on recycled aggregates are available a complete picture of the supply of aggregates for construction will not be possible. Previously the Regional Assemblies and the South West Regional Technical Advisory Body on Waste (RTAB) were involved in the acquisition of relevant data but the SWRA has been abolished and the SW RTAB has an uncertain future. This is one area of the aggregates survey work that continues to require central government intervention if a complete and robust picture of all supplies of aggregates to the construction market is to be obtained.

6.0 Significant Trends and Events (by Mineral Planning Authority)
Cornwall (Including Isles of Scilly) In 2013 the acquisition of Goonvean by Imerys was agreed by the Competition Commission, all china clay production in Cornwall will now be undertaken by Imerys and a strategy for implementing the acquisition is being put in place. Imerys have awarded new secondary aggregate contracts to supply waste to four companies; Goonvean Aggregates, Denis May & Sons Ltd, S Walsh & Son Ltd and Brookland Sand & Aggregates. The new contracts will begin in May 2014. A planning permission for 24 hour working over a 5 week period was granted to Carnsew Quarry in October 2013 for the supply of 30,000 tonnes of aggregate to Lands End Airport. Devon During 2013 significant construction projects have included the Kingskerswell by-pass, between Newton Abbot and Torquay, which commenced in the Autumn of 2012 and which is due for completion in December 2015, and ongoing development at Cranbrook new community and other major developments east of Exeter. 2013 has seen the introduction of imports of crushed rock from Scotland into North Devon at Yelland Wharf, which is also providing an alternative to Appledore for landing marine dredged aggregates. The reserves figures for 2013 have been influenced by the permanent closure of Bishops Court Quarry (sand) which is being developed for housing, and the lapsing of the planning permissions for Kersdown Quarry (limestone) and Colpit Quarry (sandstone). North Somerset The Weston Villages development, on the south side of Weston-super-Mare, at the former Weston Airfield and former RAF Locking camp, is progressing well. It includes Winterstoke Village, with outline consent for the Weston Park Business Quarter to deliver up to 4,850 jobs, and outline consent for 2550 dwellings. There is Reserved Matters consent for the first 270 houses which are under construction. The development also includes Parklands Village, with detailed consent for 250 dwellings, 68 of which are completed. There are resolutions to approve, (both subject to S106s) applications 12/P/1266/OT2 for 1150 dwellings, and 13/P/0997/OT2 for 1200 dwellings, and proposals to deliver over 3,457 jobs. Somerset (including Exmoor National Park North East Bridgwater Much of the North East Bridgwater Innovia/Little Sydenham Farm site has been developed. Planning permission was granted July 2010 for the land off A38, Bristol Road and A39, Bath Road and generally bounded by M5. The new development includes a 70,218m² Morrisons distribution depot, residential development of up to 2,000 dwellings, a new primary school, sports and recreation facilities, and other associated engineering works. As well as this the area to the south of the site on land at Bower Lane, East Bower, Bridgwater has been developed to house a new community hospital. Hinkley Point C The site preparation works/ groundwork’s were completed in January 2012. Battscombe quarry supplied approximately 60,000 tonnes to the site for car parks and temporary access routes. The Secretary of State for the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) received recommendation from the Planning Inspectorate on EDF’s application for development consent for the Hinkley Point C new nuclear power station in December 2012 and a final decision to approve planning permission was made in March 2013. The Freight Management Strategy in EDF Energy’s Transport Assessment states estimates that 7.1 million tonnes of material will be transported to/from the Hinkley Point C project sites during the construction phase. This total includes construction materials, waste and materials generated by the removal of some of the associated development facililties at the end of the HPC construction phase. The main civil works will require approximately 2.3 million tonnes of concrete aggregares, 80% of which will be supplied by jetty and 20% by road. Cannington Bypass Cannington Bypass is due to start construction in the next 12 months, to facilitate the development at Hinkley Point C. This road, which extends over 1.5 kilometres, will need approximately 25,000 tonnes of aggregate.

Royal Ordinance Factory – Puriton A resolution has been made to grant planning permission for an Energy Park on this site, subject to a S106 agreement. The application comprises buildings with the following energy related employment uses: B1(a, b or c) buildings, B2 and B8. The application site also includes land safeguarded for energy generating uses, leisure use, and for the re-instatement of a rail head. The application also seeks development of infrastructure comprising of new road access onto the A39, a ‘green bridge’, internal road system, footpaths, cycle routes and bridleways; public open space, landscaping and drainage along with associated works. The B8 storage building for which full details are provided comprises 1,858m² of internal floor space, with associated open storage and infrastructure comprising car parking, internal access road, landscaping and associated works. A bypass is also due to be constructed around Puriton, to facilitate this major new development. TAUNTON DEANE West Park 26 employment site This site has been developed providing industrial units from 700 sq.feet to combinations of up to 5,000 sq.feet at the site, which is adjacent to Chelston Business Park in Wellington, Somerset. Westpark 26 will ultimately total 46,450 sq m (500,000 sq ft) of industrial and warehouse facilities. The business park is to expand further and will see 14 extra units in addition to the 26 currently at the park. Monkton Heathfield Within the area identified at Monkton Heathfield, a new sustainable neighbourhood will be delivered to include: phased delivery of around 4,500 new homes at an overall average of 35-40 dwellings per hectare; 3 new primary schools and a secondary school; a new mixed use district centre comprising a mix of retail and business use; 22.5 hectares of additional employment/research land for development; and other associated engineering works. Norton Fitzwarren Norton Fitzwarren is allocated as a major development site to include housing, employment and community facilities. Northern Inner Distributor Road (Taunton) The Northern Inner Distributor Road (NIDR), will provide an additional east - west link, reducing congestion. It will also provide access to brown field development sites at Taunton West goods Yard, Taunton East Goods Yard and also the Firepool Area. The estimated cost of the scheme is £21 million and it is being grant funded by the Department for Transport, together with contributions from Somerset County Council, and adjacent relevant developers. Construction work commenced in July 2013 and set to be completed by March 2015. The Scheme involves: • Construction of a new bridge over the River Tone and the canal in the vicinity of Priory Fields Business Park • Replacement of the former rail bridge over Station Road to the north of Whitehall • Replacement of existing foot bridge over the railway at Chip Lane • Construction of approximately 1.6 km of new carriageway together with the realignment of a further 150 metres of carriageway • Construction of a new junction at the Chip Lane / Staplegrove Road junction • Improvements to the existing Priory Bridge Road / Priory Avenue / Priory Park junction • The provision of pedestrian and cycle facilities • Construction work is planned to commence in July 2013 and completed in March 2015
SOUTH SOMERSET Lyde Road, Yeovil An application was approved in November 2010 along Lyde Road, Yeovil which is recognised as a key housing development site. Permission was granted for residential development comprising of 63 units (53 houses and 10 flats/apartments), landscaping infrastructure and associated works, to be carried out over 4 phases. The site covers an area of approximately 32.5 hectares. This development in ongoing and now about half complete. Yeovil Urban Extensions On the horizon for Yeovil are two urban extensions – one of which has been launched for public consultation, known as the Keyford site, it is located in the south west of the town and would provide for approximately 800 homes. There is also another proposal under discussion, but this remains confidential at the pre-application stage. These are still relatively uncertain, as much depends on the outcome of the Examination in Public of the South Somerset Core Strategy (which has yet to reach completion).

Yeovil Western Corridor The Yeovil Western Corridor is a critical distributor road in Yeovil’s highway network, providing access to key employment and residential areas. The southern part of the corridor provides Yeovil and the wider area with access to the strategic road network (A303) to the north. These improvements aim to improve journey times, reduce congestion and create safer links for pedestrians and cyclists along the Western Corridor. This will help to release and support the delivery of employment land (19.5 hectares) and residential land (1460 dwellings) at Brimsmore, Lufton and Bunford Park in Yeovil. This is detailed in South Somerset District Council’s proposed submission Core Strategy 2011 to 2028 Other significant housing development in Somerset A number of other key sites have been allocated, which are focused around a number of large towns within the county and developed for housing. These sites include 150+ new homes at Stockmore Grange (North Petherton), Cades Farm (Wellington), as well as key sites within Street and Highbridge. Quarry Sites • Cloford Quarry – Section 106 personal to Aggregate Industries which states that they will not work reserves at Cloford Quarry whilst extraction continues at depth at Torr Works. • Colemans Quarry – Section 106 agreement signed in conjunction with deepening of Torr Works Quarry not to work carboniferous limestone at Colemans until such time as economic reserves at Torr at depth are exhausted. • Torr Works – Planning permission was granted to deepen Torr works with an additional 115 million tonnes of reserves. Construction projects outside the county Whatley Quarry has exported material to London for use in The Cross Rail Development. London is the single biggest importer of Somerset crushed rock, due mainly to the rail links between Whatley and Torr Works Quarries and the south east of England.
