Future Demand for Aggregates

13.8 The Council, in conjunction with the other West Yorkshire District Councils, is responsible for ensuring that West Yorkshire contributes to the supply of aggregates. The Yorkshire and the Humber Regional Aggregates Working Party under national guidance issued by the DCLG provide advice on aggregate supply and demand to the minerals planning authorities in West Yorkshire. The guidance on aggregate provision is set out in MPG6. The guidelines for land won aggregate provision in England contained in Annex A of MPG6 have been revised for the period 2001-2016. All other parts of MPG6 will remain in force until stated to be replaced by a later document. The regional guidelines are to be apportioned by the Regional Planning Body to the relevant mineral planning authority areas after taking into account the advice of the Regional Aggregate Working Party and the likely impacts of the implied extraction. The revised guidelines for land won production for the period 2001-2016 reflect an overall fall in the national demand for aggregates and a substantial increase in the use of alternatives to primary won aggregates utilising construction and demolition waste. The new guidelines set a figure of 73 million tonnes of sand and gravel and 220 million tonnes of crushed rock for the Yorkshire and Humber Region. The new guidelines take account of a revised national target of 60 million tonnes per annum by 2011 for the use of alternatives to primary won aggregates. The revised target figure for the use of alternatives together with the Aggregate Levy introduced in April 2000 are important steps in reducing the demand for primary won aggregates. POLICY GM 1 ‘MINERALS STRATEGY’ and POLICY GM 2 ‘AGGREGATE MINERALS’ aim to ensure that the Council continues to contribute towards the maintenance of regional supply patterns in accordance with Government guidance whilst adopting a sustainable approach to mineral working.
