ODPM review of aggregates provision

ODPM review of aggregates provision - 2002 - Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) (1481) 9 August 2002, 2(1) .

ODPM restarts review of aggregates provision more than 18 months after it first began. The proposed figures will be 25% lower than current guidelines. ODPM says that the lower figures will lead to a fall in environmental impacts by cutting the rate at which new or current permissions are required. Head of natural resources at the Council for the Protection of Rural England attacked the figures arguing that large areas of the countryside lie vulnerable to quarrying. Draft National and Regional Guidelines for Aggregates Provision in England 2001-16 is available free from the ODPM t +44(0)20 7944 3852 and can be accessed at www.planning.haynet.com
