3 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2012
Executive Summary This Annual Report for 2012 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 2012 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 and these are used 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.
Crushed Rock Production (sales) of crushed rock aggregates (limestone, igneous rock and sandstone) was 17.34mt in 2012, a very slight fall on 2011 (17.89mt); production in 2011 had been 3% up on 2010. It is, however, too early to say if this erratic increase indicates a recovery from the recession and it is in any case much lower than the production levels of 20-25mt which have been recorded in the recent past. Somerset continues to be the main production area with about 54% of sales.
Permitted reserves in the region in 2012 amounted to about 931mt at active and inactive sites. This represented a landbank of about 53 years’ production when based on the average of three years production (2010-2012). In 2011 the landbank stood at 46 years when based on the average production (2009-2011), the increase between the two years having been due to the lower level of production in 2012 and an increase in reserves. The last published SWAWP report, for 2010, recorded a dormant sites reserve of 306mt; this amount remains valid for 2012. All crushed rock producing MPAs except Gloucestershire had a substantial landbank of permitted reserves (>30 years) in 2012. Approximately 48% of the south west’s permitted reserves were held by sites in Somerset.
Land Won Sand and Gravel Production (sales) of land won sand and gravel was only 3.12mt in 2012, only slightly less than the 3.3mt recorded for 2011. Annual production is, however, still far below the 4-5mt achieved in the 1990’s. Dorset continues to be the main production area and in 2012 accounted for about 46% of sales.
Permitted reserves in the region were only 38.23mt in 2012 representing an increase of 1.4% on the 2011 level of reserves and a landbank of just 11.9 years when based on the average of three years production (2010-2012); the landbank in 2011 was only slightly lower at 11.67 years. Approximately 56% of the South West’s reserves were held at sites in Dorset which had a landbank of about 14 years. Production in Wiltshire was the lowest in the South West at only 0.48mt, just below Devon at 0.49mt, but the landbank in Wiltshire was the lowest in the region at only 6.9 years.
Marine Dredged Sand and Gravel In 2012, marine dredged landings in the region, mainly sand dredged from licensed areas in the Bristol Channel, amounted to 0.52m, slightly higher than the 2011 landings of 0.49mt. Avonmouth in Bristol continued to be the main wharf where 0.35mt were landed compared to 0.33mt in 2011.
4 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2012
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. No report was published for 2011 because of a lack of funding from DCLG but some data were collected for continuity purposes. This report describes briefly the work undertaken by SWAWP in 2012 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 2012. As for previous Annual Reports this 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, not all companies belong to the QPA (now the Mineral Products Association) and therefore some information is still confidential; even some members of the 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 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 14th March 2011, 3rd October 2011 and 14th December 2012. Agenda items at the meetings included;

2.0 National and Regional 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’ 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 but with due consideration to the average of 3 years’ sales 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 Regional 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 Regional 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 that is shown in Table 7 for 2011 and Table 8 for 2012 of this report has been calculated 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 shown for each MPA area.
2.5 Appendix 3 lists active and inactive primary and secondary aggregates sites in 2012; 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.
2.6 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: 2012
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 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 supply3. This baseline assessment together with the consideration of other relevant local information and 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)4.
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. By the end of 2012 four MPAs had produced a draft LAA (Cornwall; Devon; Dorset and Wiltshire). In the case of Wiltshire this had been produced in light of the NPPF but before the MASS guidance had been published in October. Early draft LAAs for the three other MPAs were considered by SWAWP in December 2012. Gloucestershire, Somerset and West of England MPAs all indicated an intention to prepare a draft in 2013 and these were subsequently considered by SWAWP during 2013. In addition to the consideration of the LAAs produced by South West MPAs, SWAWP would also be able to comment on LAAs that might be referred to it by MPAs outside the South West.
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. The level of provision being proposed in the respective LAA is shown against the apportioned aggregates guidelines amount to provide an indication of how the two amounts compare. It should be noted that following advice from SWAWP, the guidelines amounts for 2005-2020 were apportioned to MPAs by DCLG on the basis of historic proportional contributions to supply and that the national guidelines had been calculated by DCLG using an econometric model. It should also be noted that with the exception of the Devon LAA, which uses a weighted 10 year sales average, all other LAAs use a simple 10 year sales average but the 10 year period varies slightly between MPAs according to the availability of data at the time of LAA preparation.
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 significantly higher than the 3 year average. This is because the last years are recession years, whereas the 10 year average includes years of higher production in the early 2000’s. In the case of Gloucestershire only a -4.5% 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 to be carried out for the year 2013 will shed further light on the veracity of this assumption.
3.6 In the case of Wiltshire, the 10 year average LAA amount is significantly higher than the average for the period 2009-2011. For a variety of reasons, including the recession, production in the three year period fell dramatically to about 0.5mtpa whereas in previous years it had regularly been in excess of 1mtpa.
3.7 The 10 year average amounts are, however, lower than the annualized amounts apportioned from the 2005-2020 guidelines which were themselves founded on a base year (2005) when the production of aggregates was higher than now and at a time when the recession was just a few years in the future. The optimistic forecasts of that time have obviously not materialized but the effects of the recession on the demand for construction aggregates have not been equally evident across the South West with some areas faring slightly better than others.
3 In September 2013 government began a consultation on National Planning Practice Guidance. This includes guidance for aggregates but does not include specific reference to the consideration of the 3 years’ sales average. 4 Paragraph 5. Guidance on the Managed Aggregates Supply System DCLG October 2012.
9 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2012
3.8 The March 2012 NPPF and the later MASS 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. The September 2013 consultation on National Planning Practice Guidance requires the length of aggregate landbanks to be calculated by dividing the sum of permitted reserves by the annual rate of future demand based on the latest LAA
3.9 The Annual Reports produced by SWAWP have previously calculated landbanks using the average of the previous 3 years‘ production but for comparison they have also shown landbanks based on the apportionment of the regional aggregates guidelines. This information is still provided in this report for 2011 and 2012 (Tables 7 and 8) but landbanks that are based upon the average of the previous 10 years’ sales are also shown to conform to the recent guidance and the consultation referred to above (Table 3).

11 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2012
4.0 Production and Landbanks for Primary Aggregates (Crushed Rock and land 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 2011 and 2012. 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 licensed for dredging by the Crown Estates Commissioners were obtained from Posford Haskoning, Managing Agents Offshore for the Crown Estate.
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 1993-2012. 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. For more than 15 years between 1993 and 2008, land won sand and gravel production generally remained in the range of 4mt to 5mt per annum but in 2008 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 reversed, however, in 2010 with sales of 3.24mt 5, a 3% increase on 2009 and production rose again by 2% in 2011 to 3.3mt only to fall by 5.5% to 3.12mt in 2012.
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 by c40% to 9.41mt by 2012; 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 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 2.89mt in 2012 a fall of about 7% on 2011. 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%.
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 1993 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. 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. In Gloucestershire, however, production was 0.78mt in 2012, a slight fall on the 0.85mt achieved in 2011, but production in the County has remained at about 0.8mtpa 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.
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. A desire to husband permitted reserves in Wiltshire may be a contributory factor to the fall in this MPA’s production level, permitted reserves having gradually declined substantially from 11.3mt in 2003 to just 3.1mt in 2012.

4.6 Marine dredged primary aggregates (sand and gravel) that were dredged from areas licensed by the Crown Estate Commissioners and landed in the South West amounted to 0.495mt in 2011, up by 6% on 2010, and this was followed by a further 6% increase in 2012 when landings reached 0.522mt; these amounts exclude material that was dredged from areas not in the ownership of the Crown Estate and material that was removed for navigational purposes. In 2012 most of the dredged aggregate was sand that was recovered from licensed areas in the Bristol Channel6 and landed at Avonmouth in Bristol (0.351mt); this accounted for most of the increase in total landings over the three years period but landings at Poole also increased over the same period from 0.078mt in 2010 to 0.095mt in 2012. Elsewhere in the South West small quantities of aggregates continued to be landed at wharves at Appledore and Yelland in North Devon and Dunball in Somerset; these amounted to a combined figure of 0.076mt. Landings of marine dredged Aggregates amounted to about 12% of the region’s total sand and gravel production in 2010 but in 2012 this had increased to 17%. Figure 5 shows the landings of marine dredged sand and gravel from 2000.
4.7 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 just over half of what is dredged from the Channel being landed in S Wales; in 2012 this amounted to about 0.648mt (c60% of landings from the Channel).
4.8 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 West 7. 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.
4.9 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 January 2013. Dredging in the Bristol Channel was permitted at a total permitted removal rate of approximately 3mt/y, 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.
4.10 In the South Coast dredging area there were considerably more active Licensed dredging areas in 2012 than in the Bristol Channel, from where the removal of 8.7 million tonnes of material per annum was permitted. Approximately 3.6mt of primary aggregates were dredged but the total removal was 4.4mt as this included c0.7mt 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.
6 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 areas, 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). 7 AM09 data from Hampshire Local Aggregates Assessment.

4.14 The tables also show landbank situations as calculated from the sub national apportionment of the 2009 national aggregates guidelines. On this basis the South West’s crushed rock landbank was just over 36 years in 2012: for sand and gravel, however, it was only 7.2 years. The 2009 national guidelines and the sub national figures that have been apportioned from them to MPAs do not account for the current economic recession and therefore result in higher forecasts of ‘production’ than have since been recorded with the result that landbanks that are calculated using the sub national apportionments are lower than those that have been calculated using average production figures for both crushed rock and sand and gravel.
4.15 Fig 6 shows the region’s reserves of crushed rock and land won sand and gravel aggregates for the years 1996 – 2012 and Figures 7 and 8 the reserves by ‘old’ mineral planning authority. As stated above, the overall decline in permitted reserves of crushed rock that occurred in 2005 was due primarily to the non inclusion of reserves at SOUTHdormant WESTpermissions AGGREGATES most of which WORKare locatedING in PARTYSomerset. ANNUAL Other geological, REPORT planning 2010 and commercial factors continue to contribute to the change in reserves from year to year e.g geological re assessments and the extent of replenishment of reserves by new planning permissions.

4.16 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.
4.17 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.
4.18 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.
4.19 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: 2012
4.20 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.
4.21 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 are estimated to have been in excess of 2mt in 2012, a slight increase on the 2011 amount of 1.9mt. These continue to be primarily associated with the winning and working of china clay, mainly in Cornwall and to a lesser extent in Devon. In Cornwall in excess of 1.6mt of secondary aggregates are estimated to have been produced and in Devon the amount was about 0.37mt. These were mainly ‘as dug’ wastes that were supplemented by previously tipped china clay waste but the total includes small amounts of ball clay sand in Devon and slate waste from both MPA areas. Ball clay sand was also produced in Dorset but in this county ball clay production is recorded under primary aggregate sales.
5.2 Cornwall remains the main source of secondary aggregates and in its Local Aggregates Assessment the Council has estimated that c120mt of reserves of these aggregates are embodied in the china clay waste tips of the St Austell area. The industry’s estimate, however, is that reserves are much higher at 230mt. As a proportion of Cornwall’s aggregate sales, secondary aggregates now represent about 50% of production, this contribution having fallen from about 64% of the market in the period 2003-2006 when production was consistently about 2.4mtpa. 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 about 100,000tpa are exported by sea via wharves in Plymouth and Fowey, mainly to the South East of England; an additional amount was also transported by rail, in particular to serve specific projects such as the Olympics.
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 for 2012 by South West MPAs. However, the response was not comprehensive enough to allow a production level to be calculated for the region from the information that was subsequently received but when added to estimates for recycled aggregates production that were included in MPA LAAs a regional amount in the order of 2.41mt can be estimated for 2012. This is shown in Table 9.
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) Imerys Minerals acquired Goonvean Ltd in 2012. This primarily related to the extraction/processing of china clay, as Goonvean’s secondary aggregates processing activities did not form part of the acquisition; this will operate under a new company called Goonvean Aggregates Ltd. The acquisition is being investigated by the Competition Commission. Devon 2012 saw significant work to the east of Exeter including completion of the M5 Junction 29 improvements and commencement of the new community of Cranbrook, a new science park, the Skypark business park, Sainsbury distribution depot and the Clyst Honiton bypass. The new community and business parks will continue to be developed over te next few years. Elsewhere in Devon, work commenced on the South Devon Link Road that will extend the A380 dual carriageway from Newton Abbot to Torquay, while work commenced in 2012 on new energy from waste plants in Plymouth and Exeter. E&JW Glendinning Ltd completed a new crushing and screening house and bin storage system at Linhay Hill Quarry in 2012 which, with the asphalt plant constructed in 2010 has doubled the quarry’s stone throughput and opened up reserves beneath the previous plant area. Dorset Approximately 100,000 tonnes of sand were supplied to the Olympics venue at Wembley through the Wool railhead. Gloucestershire The increase in permitted reserves approved at Stowfield Quarry significantly increased the landbank of crushed rock reserves in the Forest of Dean resource area. In the Upper Thames Valley near Fairford, Horcott sand and gravel quarry ceased working after being operational since the 1950’s. Although the quarry is adjacent to an unworked preferred sand and gravel area in the Gloucestershire MLP no replacement reserves have been sought to date; it was one of the more significant sand and gravel operations in Gloucestershire and its closure reduces potential productive capacity for this resource. Somerset (including Exmoor National Park North East Bridgwater: Significant development continues to be made on the North East Bridgwater Innovia/Little Sydenham Farm site. 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. Furthermore, to the south of the site, land at Bower Lane, East Bower, Bridgwater has been developed to house a new community hospital. Hinkley Point C (HPC): The site preparation works / groundworks for HPC were completed in early 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 HPC new nuclear power station in December 2012 and a final decision to grant Development Consent 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, approximately 80% of which will be supplied by jetty and 20 % by road. West Park 26 employment site: This site has been developed providing industrial units from 700 to combinations of up to 5,000 square 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 site currently boasts a hotel and pub along with workshops and starter units, and other proposed uses for the business park are trade counters, offices and child daycare, along with car showrooms and a veterinary clinic. The business park is to expand further and will see 14 extra units in addition to the 26 currently at the park.
29 SOUTH WEST AGGREGATES WORKING PARTY Annual Report: 2012
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: Significant progress has been made in bringing forward residential development (550 homes) and commercial development (15,793m2) at Norton Fitzwarren, which was allocated as a major development site to include housing, employment and community facilities. 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. 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 with 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 in January 2012 to deepen Torr Works, releasing 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 significant imbalance between aggregate sources and major development schemes, and noting the rail links between Whatley and Torr Works Quarries and the South East.
