Annual Report 2018 SWAWP

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This annual report for 2018 has been prepared by the South West Aggregates Working Party (‘SWAWP’) previously known as the South West Regional Aggregates Working Party. As for earlier reports, it contains details of land won aggregates and permitted reserves and of marine dredged aggregates’ landings and resources. Other information on secondary and recycled aggregates and significant trends per region is also provided along with information on planning decisions and progress on local plans. In order to provide an indication of trends, this annual report compares data for 2018 with data for earlier years.

It is acknowledged that the data contained within this report is, at the time of publication, somewhat historic. This is a direct result of delays in obtaining raw data from operators which has a consequential impact on the timing and preparation of Local Aggregate Assessments (‘LAAs’) by individual mineral planning authorities. However, this report is required to reflect the findings of individual LAAs which determine an appropriate demand scenario for their relevant mineral planning authority (‘MPA’) area and which it could not do if the annual report were produced before completion of the LAAs.

In June 2009, the Department for Communities and Local Government (as it then was) 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 (July 2018) (‘NPPF’) and Planning Practice Guidance (which replaced the 2012 Guidance on the Managed Aggregate Supply System) indicate that these guideline amounts are to be taken into account by MPAs when planning for the future demand for and supply of aggregates. In planning for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates, MPAs are to prepare an annual LAA either individually or, if appropriate, with other MPAs. The guideline 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.

It is notable that, particularly in the case of crushed rock, actual sales during 2018 were very close to the amount provided for within the National Guidelines – 24.44 million tonnes (mt) (actual figure) compared with 25.75mt (guideline figure).

Crushed Rock

Sales of crushed rock aggregates (limestone, igneous rock and sandstone) within the South West totalled 24.44mt in 2018, a small increase on 2017 and 2016 (24.33mt and 23.26mt respectively). Somerset continues to be the main vendor with 63% of sales.

Permitted reserves in the region in 2018 amounted to approximately 837.51mt at active and inactive sites. This represents a landbank of just under 35 years when based on the average of three years’ sales (2016-2018) and 41 years when based on the average of 10 years’ sales (2009-2018). All crushed rock producing MPAs except Gloucestershire had a substantial landbank of permitted

Annual Report 2018 SWAWP

reserves in 2018 when based on either the 3 or 10 year sales’ averages, though for the third year running, Somerset’s landbank when based on the 3 year sales’ average remains under 30 years (down to 25.8). Just under 45% of the South West’s permitted reserves were held by sites in Somerset with the bulk of the remaining reserves being shared between Cornwall and the West of England followed by Devon.

Land Won Sand and Gravel

In 2018, sales of land won sand and gravel in the region totalled 2.94mt, a decrease on 2017 when the total was 3.15mt. Dorset continued to be the main production area, accounting for just over 40% of sales.

Permitted reserves in the region at the end of 2018 were 27.76mt, a slight decrease on 2017 when reserves stood at 28.77mt. Based on the average of 10 years’ sales, the total permitted reserves represented a landbank at the end of 2018 of 8.73 years, a slight increase on 2017 when the landbank was 8.72 years. Dorset continued to maintain the highest level of reserves in the region – 13.3mt out of the South West’s total of 27.76mt.

Dorset also continued to have the highest sales’ figure for sand and gravel at 1.2mt in 2018, a slight fall in sales compared with the previous year when it was 1.27mt. Sales in both Devon and Gloucestershire were down compared with 2017 (0.54mt compared with 0.6mt in Devon and 0.689mt compared with 0.879mt in Gloucestershire). For Gloucestershire, this represented a downturn after three consecutive years of increased sales – from 0.43mt in 2014 to 0.59mt in 2015, 0.7mt in 2016 and 0.879mt in 2017.

Wiltshire continued to have the lowest landbank of the sand and gravel producing regions in the South West standing at 6.02 years but this was a further improvement on the position at the end of 2017 when the landbank was 5.13 years and a significant upturn from 2016 when the landbank was just 2.81 years (all based on the 10 year average sales’ figures).

Marine Dredged Sand and Gravel

In 2018, marine dredged landings to English wharves in the South West, mainly sand dredged from licensed areas in the Bristol Channel, amounted to 0.72mt, a slight decrease on the amount landed in 2017 (0.76mt). Avonmouth in Bristol continued to be the main wharf where 0.59mt was landed, more or less equivalent to that which was landed there in 2017.

Annual Report 2018 SWAWP

1. 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 presents quantitative information on the sales of aggregates in the South West during 2018 and the landbank of permitted reserves at the end of the year. 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 has generally been 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, clarification of the way in which operators’ information can be used has since been issued by the QPA’s successor, the Mineral Products Association. In addition, not all companies belong to the Mineral Products Association and therefore some information remains confidential. Moreover, some members of the Mineral Products Association 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 the SWAWP is shown in Appendix 1 of the report. The Working Party is one of nine Aggregate Working Parties (AWPs) in England and two in Wales whose membership is drawn from MPAs, the aggregates industry (represented by individual companies as well as the Mineral Products Association and the British Aggregates Association (BAA)), the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), the Environment Agency and the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC). Whilst each of the MPAs is automatically a member of the SWAWP and entitled to attend meetings, not all of them do so because of limited mineral interest, and, in such cases, arrangements have been made with other member authorities to represent them as necessary.

1.4 AWPs were established by the then Department of the Environment in the early 1970s 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. An AWP is not a policy making body but, amongst other things, undertakes data collection to facilitate planning for aggregates and to inform the general reader. Planning Practice Guidance states that the role of an AWP is three-fold, as follows:

 to consider, scrutinise and provide advice on the Local Aggregate Assessment of each mineral planning authority in its area;  to provide an assessment on the position of overall demand and supply for the Aggregate Working Party area, including whether, in its view, the area is making a full contribution towards meeting both national and local aggregate needs. This

David Jarvis Associates Limited 7 2429 April 2021

Annual Report 2018 SWAWP

assessment should be based on local aggregate assessments and should be informed by other economic data. It should also include an indication of emerging trends of demand in the Aggregate Working Party area; and  to obtain, collect and report on data on minerals activity in their area. This includes annual data on sales, permissions and mineral reserves in their area, and data on recycled and secondary sources.

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. The National Aggregate Co-ordinating Group (NACG), whose membership comprises representatives from each AWP, as well as from key government departments and other organisations as deemed appropriate by MHCLG, monitors the overall provision of aggregates in England and ought to provide timely advice to Government and to individual AWPs (though it is notable that the NCG last met in October 2017). Specifically, activities of the NACG include:

 monitoring annual reports produced by each Aggregate Working Party, with particular scrutiny of the landbank position;  examining any significant difference between individual Aggregate Working Party reports and the relevant National and Sub-National Guideline figure, in order to understand the reason for such a difference, and whether it raises issues of concern about ensuring a steady and adequate provision of aggregates in England. The National Aggregate Co- ordinating Group should share its findings with both the individual Aggregate Working Party and government as necessary; and  providing guidance to government on future National and Sub-National requirements for aggregates supply. This will include whether, and when, it needs to review National and Sub-National guidelines for aggregate provision in England.

1.6 The AWP Secretaries’ Group should also meet as necessary to discuss the work required by the TOR and to consider day to day matters of relevance to aggregates.

1.7 Meetings of the SWAWP are normally held at County Hall in Taunton though latterly have been held remotely (on-line) because of Covid-19. The SWAWP met in January and September 2018, February and September 2019, July and September 2020 and January and March 2021.

2. 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, entitled ‘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 land-won aggregates. Planning Practice Guidance states that the guidelines serve two purposes:

 they seek to provide an indication of the total amount of aggregate provision that the mineral planning authorities, collectively within each Aggregate Working Party, should aim to provide; and  they will provide individual mineral planning authorities, 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 Aggregate Working Party area.

The Guidance goes on to state that, ‘Although these guidelines should be considered on this basis and not as rigid standards, they are nonetheless capable of being a material consideration when determining the soundness of minerals plans and in making decisions on individual planning applications.’

2.2 However, following the Localism Act 2011 and abolition of regional spatial strategies there is no mechanism for formal ‘apportionment’ of the guideline figures to MPAs. Nonetheless, the NPPF requires MPAs to take ‘account of any published National and Sub National Guidelines on future provision which should be used as a guideline when planning for the future demand for and supply of aggregates.’

2.3 The NPPF also requires MPAs either individually, or with other MPAs if appropriate, to produce an annual Local Aggregates Assessment in order to forecast future demand. This should be based on a rolling average of 10 years’ sales data and other relevant local information and an assessment of all supply options (including marine dredged, secondary and recycled sources). Further details of this ‘localism’ approach to assessing the future demand for and supply of aggregates are given in Section 3.

2.4 Table 1 is reproduced from information taken from the National and Sub National Guidelines (June 2009) and shows the guideline amounts for both land-won and alternative aggregates for the period 2005-2020.

2.5 In August 2010, the SWAWP resolved to present the figures shown in Table 2 (below) to (the then) DCLG as the technical advice of the 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.

2.6 The assessment of landbanks for land won aggregates in the South West has previously been calculated by SWAWP in two ways; first, by dividing the permitted reserves by the average of the preceding three years’ sales and secondly by dividing reserves by the annualised sub- regional apportionment (SRA) shown for each MPA area. However, as noted above, the significance of the SRA has diminished owing to the national and sub-regional guidelines being out of date and because of changes in the way in which the assessment of future aggregate requirements is to be calculated.

2.7 Instead, the NPPF and Planning Practice Guidance now require 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 set out in the latest annual Local Aggregates Assessment 1 - the ‘LAA rate’. It is the landbank as calculated from the LAA that is considered in the development of any MPA Minerals Local Plan and used by the relevant MPA in the consideration of planning applications for aggregates. However, as stated in the Planning Practice Guidance, there is no maximum landbank level and each application for mineral extraction must be considered on its own merits regardless of the length of the landbank.

2.8 Planning Practice Guidance states that aggregate landbanks are an essential component of planning decision-making:

 they are the basis on which the level of provision of new areas for aggregate extraction should be calculated when preparing local mineral plans;  they are an important means of assessing when a mineral planning authority should review the current provision of aggregates in its area; and consider whether to conduct a review of allocation of sites in its local minerals plan; and  for decision-making, low landbanks may be an indicator that suitable applications should be permitted as a matter of importance to ensure the steady and adequate supply of aggregates.

2.9 Table 3 shows the landbanks as calculated from the LAAs produced by the South West MPAs whilst Tables 6 and 7 provide analysis and comparison between the landbanks as at the end of 2017 and 2018 respectively.

2.10 Appendix 2 lists active and inactive land-won and secondary aggregates sites in 2018; these sites are also shown on Map 1. Appendix 3 lists recycled aggregates sites in the South West in 2018. Secondary and recycled aggregates production is covered in Section 5.

1 The Planning Practice Guidance defines a landbank as “the sum in tonnes of all permitted reserves for which valid planning permissions are extant, divided by the annual rate of future demand based on the latest annual LAA. In calculating landbanks, the term permitted reserve includes current non-working sites but excludes those sites where mineral working cannot take place until there has been a review of the planning conditions attached to their planning permission”.

3. LOCAL AGGREGATES ASSESSMENTS

3.1 With the publication of the NPPF and MASS Guidance in 20122, DCLG (as it was then) introduced the requirement for MPAs, either individually or with other MPAs, to produce an annual Local Aggregates Assessment. The Planning Practice Guidance now provides that the LAA should contain three elements:

 a forecast of the demand for aggregates based on both the rolling average of 10-years’ sales data and other relevant local information;  an analysis of all aggregate supply options, as indicated by landbanks, mineral plan allocations and capacity data e.g. marine licences for marine aggregate extraction, recycled aggregates and the potential throughputs from wharves. This analysis should be informed by planning information, the aggregate industry and other bodies such as local enterprise partnerships; and  an assessment of the balance between demand and supply, and the economic and environmental opportunities and constraints that might influence the situation. It should conclude if there is a shortage or a surplus of supply and, if the former, how this is being addressed.

3.2 LAAs must also consider other relevant local information in addition to the 10-year rolling supply, which seeks to look ahead at possible future demand, rather than rely solely on past sales. Such information may include, for example, levels of planned construction and housebuilding in their area and throughout the country. MPAs should also look at average sales over the last three years in particular to identify the general trend of demand 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), should help MPAs plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates.

3.3 In respect of the 10-year period covering the years 2009-2018, four draft LAAs have been submitted to SWAWP for consideration (Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and West of England) and comments on these have been 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.

3.4 Table 3 summarises the position in respect of the region’s LAAs covering the period 2009- 2018 and shows, in particular, the 10 year and 3 year sales’ averages for crushed rock and sand and gravel.

2 Note that the MASS Guidance was withdrawn in March 2014 and replaced by the Planning Practice Guidance.

4. SALES AND LANDBANKS OF CRUSHED ROCK AND LAND-WON AND MARINE DREDGED SAND AND GRAVEL

Sales

4.1 Table 4 shows sales of crushed rock and sand and gravel in the South West for 2017 and 2018. For both years, the figures for land won sales have been derived from individual LAAs or provided by the relevant MPA. The figures for landings of marine aggregates that were dredged from licensed areas have been obtained from the 21st annual report prepared jointly by the Crown Estate and the British Marine Aggregate Producers Association entitled ‘Marine Aggregate Extraction 2018’ and from the document entitled ‘Marine Aggregates – The Crown Estate Licences – Summary of Statistics 2018’. Table 6 shows the landbank situation for land-won aggregates as at 31 December 2017, and Table 7 the situation as at 31 December 2018.

4.2 Figures 1 and 2 show the total sales of crushed rock aggregates and land won sand and gravel in the South West for the period 2009-2018. In the early 1990s, sales of crushed rock in the region exceeded 25mt each year but for the next 10 years they settled to a level of between 20mt and 25mt per annum. As the recession deepened following the financial crisis in 2007/8, sales in 2008 were only 20.33mt, a 10% decrease on 2007, and in 2009 they fell further to only 17.25mt, a fall of 15.5% on 2008. Between 2010 and 2013, sales hovered around the 17mt mark but 2014 showed a reasonable increase with sales totalling 21.62mt across the region and this was maintained in 2015 with sales totalling 22.16mt. 2016 saw a small rise in total sales to 23.26mt and 2017 followed this trend with a further rise to 24.33mt. In 2018, the total rose again slightly to 24.44mt. This figure is remarkably close to the National Guideline figure for annual production of crushed rock within the South West - 25.75mt.

4.3 Variations in the sales of land won sand and gravel have not been so great and between 1994 and 2008 they generally remained in the range of 4 to 5mt per annum; in 2009, however, sales fell to only 3.15mt, a fall of 22.2% on 2008. Since 2010, sales have remained in the region of 3mt, with sales in 2014 of 3.51mt and in 2015 of 3.22mt. Sales in 2016 showed a slight dip down to 2.98mt whilst sales in 2017 increased again to 3.15mt. In 2018, sales dropped to 2.94mt.

4.4 Figures 3 and 4 split these sales down into MPA sub-regions. Somerset has consistently been the main producer of crushed rock with sales ranging from about 16mt in the early 1990s, gradually falling to only 9.98mt in 2013 but since showing a marked increase to 12.46mt in 2014, 12.55mt in 2015, 13.56mt in 2016, 14.6mt in 2017 and 15.36mt in 2018, thereby increasing its contribution to 63% of the region’s total output of crushed rock (up from around 50% in 2016). The West of England has been the next highest producer of crushed rock over the same period with sales ranging from a high of about 6mt in the mid- 1990s but then stabilising at about 4mt per annum in more recent years. However, sales fell to only 2.66mt in 2013 before rising again to 3.20mt in 2014, to 3.62mt in 2015 and to 3.72mt in 2016 before dropping back slightly to 3.59mt in 2017 and 3.38mt in 2018. In Devon, the next highest production area, sales increased from 2.02mt in 2011 to 2.41mt in 2012, an increase of 19%, before falling back to 2.25mt in 2013 but rising again to 2.85mt in

David Jarvis Associates Limited 14 2429 April 2021

Annual Report 2018 SWAWP

2014 and to 3mt in 2015. 2016 showed a slight dip down to 2.77mt and 2017 continued this downward trend with sales totalling 2.7mt. 2018 saw a further drop to 2.45mt.

4.5 For land won sand and gravel, Dorset continues to be the main producer, a position it has held since the early 1990s, with sales generally exceeding 1.5mt each year between 1994 and 2008 and peaking at 1.8mt in 2001. Sales fell to their lowest level of only 1.27mt in 2009 but subsequently rallied, reaching 1.6mt in 2013 and 1.73mt in 2014. However, 2015 saw a fresh drop down to 1.5mt and 2016, 2017 and 2018 have all continued the downward trend with an all-time low reached in 2018 of 1.2mt.

4.6 Elsewhere, in Wiltshire and in neighbouring Gloucestershire, where the industry is concentrated in the Upper Thames Valley which spans the two counties, sales have also fluctuated in recent years. In Wiltshire, there has been a dramatic 60% fall in sales from 2009 onwards when they fell to just under 0.5mt from the annual levels of just over 1mt that had been achieved from the late 1990s and in 2013 it reached its lowest level in 20 years at just 0.434mt. However, sales rallied significantly in 2014 when they totalled 0.82mt (note this figure has been amended since publication of the 2014 annual report owing to updated information supplied by Wiltshire Council) before dropping back to 0.59mt in 2015 and to just 0.42mt in 2016. 2017 saw a new record low of just 0.40mt but 2018 has seen an encouraging increase to 0.51mt. In Gloucestershire, sales stood at 0.68mt in 2013, a slight fall on the 0.78mt of 2012. They fell again in 2014 to 0.43mt before rising to 0.59mt in 2015, 0.7mt in 2016 and 0.88mt in 2017. 2018 saw a renewed drop down to 0.69mt.

4.7 In contrast with 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. In 2014 they increased slightly to 0.53mt and again in 2015 to 0.54mt but in 2016 they dipped back down to 0.47mt. 2017 saw a slight rally with sales of 0.6mt whilst in 2018 they dipped again to 0.54mt.

4.8 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 sales’ levels in the two counties probably reflect the companies’ operating strategies and the economic recession rather than market distortions. Permitted reserves in Wiltshire have declined significantly from 11.3mt in 2003 to just 2.8mt in 2014, 2.26mt in 2015 and 1.77mt in 2016. 2017 saw a welcome increase in reserves to 2.87mt and 2018 continued this trend with reserves increasing to 3.01mt following the grant of a permission which permitted an additional 1mt.

4.9 Marine dredged aggregates (sand and gravel) that were dredged from licensed areas and landed to English wharves in the South West amounted to 0.61mt in 2016, an increase over the 0.57mt recorded in 2015. In 2017, this figure increased to 0.76mt whilst in 2018 it stood at 0.72mt. It is understood that 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 2018, and as for earlier years, most of the dredged aggregate was sand that was recovered from licensed areas in the Bristol Channel and landed at Avonmouth in Bristol (0.59mt).

4.10 In 2017, landings of marine dredged aggregates into the South West amounted to approximately 19% of the region’s total sand and gravel production in 2017 (0.76/3.91). The percentage was similar in 2018, namely, 19.7% (0.72/3.66).

4.11 Dredging in the Bristol Channel in 2018 was permitted at a total removal rate of approximately 3.08mt per year, up from the 1.75mt per year permitted in 2017, with approximately 68% of the tonnage dredged going to English wharves. In total, approximately 1.24mt of Bristol Channel aggregates were landed at 9 wharf locations on the English and Welsh coasts. (Note that Poole is considered to fall within the south coast dredging area rather than in the South West).

4.12 In the south coast dredging area, permitted removal in 2018 decreased slightly to 6.8mt per year from 7.17mt per year in 2017 and approximately 3.44mt of aggregates were dredged (down from 3.77mt in 2017). The dredging industry on the south coast has a wider distribution area than the Bristol Channel and includes some landings at ports on mainland Europe.

Landbanks of Aggregates

4.13 The NPPF provides that mineral planning authorities should plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates by, amongst other matters, making provision for the maintenance of landbanks of at least 7 years for sand and gravel and at least 10 years for crushed rock, whilst ensuring that the capacity of operations to supply a wide range of materials is not compromised.

Crushed rock

4.14 Tables 6 and 7 show the permitted reserves of crushed rock in the region as at 31 December 2017 and 2018 respectively. In 2012, permitted reserves amounted to about 931mt but by the end of 2015 these had fallen to just over 868mt, representing nearly a 7% decrease on the 2012 figure. In 2016, reserves were down to just over 866mt and in 2017 they dropped again to 839.51mt. In 2018, reserves stood at 837.51mt.

4.15 At the end of 2017, the South West’s landbank of crushed rock was 42 years when based on the average of 10 years’ sales (2008-2017) though this figure drops to 36.1 years when based on the three year average. By comparison, at the end of 2018, the landbank was 41.1 years when based on the average of 10 years’ sales (2008-2017) and 34.9 years when based on the three year average (2016-2018).

4.16 Crushed rock landbanks continue to be substantial in all MPA sub-regions. All crushed rock producing MPAs except Gloucestershire continued to maintain a substantial landbank of permitted reserves (ie. >30 years) in 2018 when based on the 10 year sales’ average though for the third year running Somerset’s landbank was below 30 years when based on the 3 year average (standing at 25.8 years). Cornwall’s reserves of primary crushed rock fell to 194.5mt at the end of 2018 compared with 205.5mt at the end of 2017 and 206.9mt at the end of 2016. Amended reserves’ data can sometimes result from provision of more up to date figures by the industry. Other geological, planning and commercial factors can also contribute to changes in reserves from year to year e.g. geological re-assessments and the extent of replenishment of reserves by new planning permissions.

Sand and Gravel

4.17 Reserves of sand and gravel are considerably less than those of crushed rock and have continued to fall for many years; in 2013 they stood at only 32.6mt representing a fall of about 15% on 2012 (38.23mt) and by 2015 they were down to 28.38mt. In 2016, they dropped further to 26.72mt before rallying in 2017 back up to 28.77mt. In 2018, total reserves stood at 27.76mt. The total sand and gravel landbank for the South West is also significantly smaller than that for crushed rock, standing at just 8.73 years at the end of 2018 when based on the average of 10 years’ sales.

4.18 In terms of individual MPA sand and gravel landbanks at the end of 2018, Devon’s landbank dropped quite significantly from 12.1 years in 2017 to 9.69 years while Dorset’s increased slightly from 8.51 to 9.3 years. Gloucestershire’s landbank also dropped from 9.55 to 8.84

years. However, Wiltshire enjoyed a further boost to its landbank from 5.13 years in 2017 to 6.02 years in 2018 following the grant of a permission on land at Cotswold Community resulting in additional permitted reserves of 1mt of sand and gravel. Wiltshire’s landbank in 2016 had been just 2.81 years. (Note all landbank figures in this paragraph are based on the 10-year sales’ average).

4.19 The tables continue to show the landbanks based on the apportionment figures in the National and Sub-National Guidelines. However, as noted above, these figures now carry less weight and can only be treated as indicative as they do not take into account actual events such as the economic recession which started in 2008/9.

4.20 It is important to note that the reserves’ figures that are supplied to MPAs by the quarrying industry are not assessed on a uniform basis. Some operators are able accurately to establish the amount of 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 be calculated 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.

4.21 In addition, the assessment of what constitutes a reserve depends on the economics of extraction; this further depends in part on the individual circumstances at a particular quarry and may 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 classified according to the degree of information known about them. Protocols for a consistent approach to calculating reserves and resources have been adopted. For example, in 2009, a globally recognised code developed by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) was incorporated into an updated and wider Pan European Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Reserves (the ‘PERC Reporting Code’). However, such protocols are not always used by industry (in particular, they tend not to be used by the smaller companies) in supplying information to AWPs as part of their annual surveys or as part of the 4 yearly national AM survey.

4.22 For the purposes of annual reports and the assessment of landbanks, reserves tend to be 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, particularly if it is of secondary value to their primary products, but for the purpose of this report these are generally considered to be primary aggregates.

David Jarvis Associates Limited 21 2429 April 2021

Annual Report 2018 SWAWP

4.23 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, where previously it had been reported as a crushed rock aggregate reserve. Where such deposits may have a dual end use 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.

4.24 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 as a result of contamination; these latter materials are commonly used for beach recharge or land reclamation / engineering fill. Sand and gravel reserves in licensed areas are defined as a 50:50 blend on production suitable for use as concreting aggregates and typically represent >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 100% sand on production. Secondary aggregates in the marine dredging context consist of sand/gravel or sand of various compositions that may currently be generally unsuitable for a construction use because of their geological composition and/or the market demands for the material. Owing to the infrequent requirement for these materials, deposits of secondary aggregates will be reported as resources.

5. SECONDARY AND RECYCLED AGGREGATES

5.1 Sales of secondary aggregates in the South West totalled 2.17mt in 2016, dipping just slightly from the 2.2mt recorded in 2015. In 2017, the total was noticeably up to 2.69mt and this figure was equalled in 2018. These secondary aggregates 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, sales of secondary aggregate during 2018 totalled approximately 2.08mt, up slightly from the 2017 total of approximately 2.02mt. This compares with a peak of 2.39mt in 2006. Some 96% of the secondary aggregates were derived from china clay waste, the remainder being slate waste products or aggregate derived from the energy from waste facility at the Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre.

5.2 Devon secondary sales in 2018 amounted to 0.558mt, a slight rise compared with the 2017 figure of 0.581mt and reflecting a consistent incremental increase since 2012. The main source of these aggregates in Devon comprises the by-products derived from the extraction and processing of china clay in the Lee Moor area of Devon, accounting for around 60% of Devon’s production of secondary aggregate. Ball clay sand was also produced in Dorset but in this mineral planning authority area sand and gravel associated with ball clay production is recorded under primary aggregates sales (which is different from the position in Devon where such sand and gravel is recorded as secondary aggregate).

5.3 Cornwall remains the main source of secondary aggregates in the South West with industry estimating that approximately 230mt of reserves of these aggregates are embodied in the china clay waste tips of the St Austell China Clay Area. Production of secondary aggregate in the region continues to make an increasing contribution to Cornwall’s total aggregate sales. In 2015 and 2016, production of secondary aggregates accounted for about 54% of Cornwall’s aggregate sales. In 2017, sales of secondary aggregates in Cornwall equated to circa 59% of Cornwall’s total aggregate sales whilst in 2018 the contribution was further increased to 60% (2.08 / 1.389 + 2.08).

5.4 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 land-won aggregates, i.e. by site survey, but MPAs have in recent years sought data on recycled aggregate sales from relevant operators. Whilst efforts continue in order to improve data reliability and comprehensiveness, estimates have had to be made by some MPAs. When estimates for recycled aggregates’ production are collated, a South West total of just over 2.1mt can be estimated for 2018 (see Table 8) up from just over 2mt in 2017.

5.5 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 (SWRTAB) were involved in the acquisition of relevant data but the South West Regional Assembly has been abolished and the SWRTAB, whilst still active, has limited scope for undertaking such activity owing to lack of resources. 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. SIGNIFICANT TRENDS AND EVENTS (BY MINERAL PLANNING AUTHORITY)

Cornwall

In Cornwall, there are some large scale new developments proposed at West Carclaze Garden Village Scheme in the St Austell China Clay area and West Langarth in Truro. This will include significant housing and commercial development over the next few years.

Cornwall is the main source of secondary aggregate in the South West. There is in excess of 230 million tonnes of secondary aggregates feed material embodied in china clay waste tips in Cornwall. In 2018, production of secondary aggregates in Cornwall accounted for 60% of the aggregates’ market. Sales of land-won aggregate in Cornwall in 2018 decreased slightly compared with the previous year with 1.4 million tonnes produced in 2018 vis à vis 1.43 million tonnes in 2017.

Devon

2018 saw the continuation of large-scale new community developments at Sherford and Cranbrook, along with projects and infrastructure within the Exeter and East Devon Growth Point. The year also saw continued work on the Exeter Flood Defence Scheme.

All types of aggregate (except recycled) had sales dropping between 2017 and 2018. However, the three years average for crushed rock and sand and gravel both remain above the ten years average, confirming that despite a year on year drop, the sales of these materials in recent years is higher than it has been more historically.

Landbanks for land-won aggregates remain above the minimum levels required by the NPPF. In addition, the Devon Minerals Plan was adopted in February 2017 and provides for up to 9.2mt of sand and gravel at two sites. The ability of Devon to maintain land-won aggregate supply has been tested by modelling the ten years sales average (with also a housing trajectory scenario tested in the report). This test indicates that the crushed rock landbank will enable supply to be maintained, but that the present sand and gravel landbank would fall below the seven years minimum in 2021. However, the Minerals Plan provision for sand and gravel, if delivered, would sufficiently extend the life of the landbank.

Sales of secondary aggregates were nearly sustained in 2018 at 2017 levels, which was their highest level since 2008, with the three years average again exceeding the ten years figure, while sales of recycled aggregates in 2018 were above the previous year. For marine aggregates, sales declined to their lowest level in the past ten years.

Gloucestershire

There are a number of significant / larger-scale infrastructure and construction schemes identified for the county over the coming years, which include strategic housing and employment opportunities at: - Tewkesbury near Junction 9 of the M5 that could deliver around 8,000 homes and over 120ha of employment land; just over 4,000 homes near Junction 10 of the M5; a new garden community incorporating a cyber-hub and over 1,000 homes near Junction 11 of the M5;

Annual Report 2018 SWAWP

and a new community football stadium with adjacent eco-business park near Junction 13 of the M5. The Local Transport Plan (2015-2031) also identifies longer term highway project priorities over the next decade. The most significant of these involves: - an upgraded, all-movements junction 10 for the M5; improvements to the Strategic Road Network (SRN) along the A417 / A419 (‘the missing link’); and improvements to the A46/A428 corridor including M5 junction 9, Tewkesbury. In addition, a feasibility study is being undertaken into a potential 3rd Severn crossing between Sharpness and Lydney.

Somerset

Somerset‘s data shows increased sales from 2017 to 2018 for both crushed rock and recycled aggregates. There are no sales of secondary aggregates to report for 2018 and, following a discussion with an operator, historic secondary aggregate data has been re-categorised as non- aggregate mineral sales.

Crushed rock sales in 2018 increased by 5.24% from 2017 levels, which marks a slightly lower growth rate than that experienced in 2017 which had an increase of 7.6% on the previous year (2016). For the third year in a row, annual sales have exceeded the annual sub-regional apportionment figure of 13.4 mt.

Crushed rock reserves at the end of 2018 have increased by 10.9mt, from 2017 estimates. This results from revised operator estimates for reserves at three sites and permission for an additional 30mt of reserve at Callow Rock Quarry. It should be noted that the revised reserve estimate for one of these sites was higher than expected and the MPA has requested a meeting to discuss further with the operator. The reported reserve data may be subject to further revision pending the outcome of this discussion.

Survey returns for secondary and recycled data continue to be viewed as being generally inconsistent, and it is acknowledged that evidence gathering for recycled aggregates remains a particular challenge. Additional efforts to engage with operators in 2018 have resulted in improved operator data returns but this suggests that recycled aggregate sales from CDE waste management sites make a limited contribution to overall aggregate sales in Somerset. Further work will be carried out in evidence gathering on local waste policy to establish what is happening in the market for recycled aggregate.

West of England

The West of England is a significant producer of primary crushed rock in the South West, being the next highest producer after Somerset. Sales in 2018 were 3.38 million tonnes, a fall compared to 3.59 million tonnes in 2017.

Permitted reserves for crushed rock in South Gloucestershire and North Somerset amounted to a significant landbank of almost 40 years at the end of 2018 (based on the 10 year sales’ average of 3.27 million tonnes). However, it is important to note that some of the reserves are at inactive quarries in South Gloucestershire which are currently mothballed, in particular, Cromhall.

David Jarvis Associates Limited 31 2429 April 2021

Annual Report 2018 SWAWP

The West of England is a significant net exporter of crushed rock, exporting in 2014 approximately 46% of the crushed rock aggregate produced at quarries within the sub-region. These sales primarily stemmed from quarries in South Gloucestershire.

The National Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2016-2021 refers to some projects in the south west on its Regional Projects Map, including for example Hinkley Point C, the A303/A30/A358 corridor, and Bristol Temple Meads Station. The Plan will be monitored as an influence on demand for aggregates within the West of England.

Dorset

There was little of significance to report for Dorset for 2018. Dorset’s LAA, after analysing the figures, concluded that it was appropriate to use the ten-year average for both sand and gravel and crushed rock to set the ‘apportionment’ figure for 2018.

Wiltshire

Wiltshire has advised that there is nothing significant to report for 2018.
