Minerals Local Plan Issues and Options consultation

Q16 Is a criteria based policy the most suitable approach to cover the potential for new brick works and associated clay pits?

Representation ID: 30703

Received: 15/01/2018

Respondent: Derby and Derbyshire Development Plans Joint Advisory Committee

Agent: Derbyshire County Council

Representation Summary:

Waingroves Quarry in Derbyshire supplies Kirton Brickworks in Nottinghamshire with approximately 24,000 tonnes of brick clay annually. It also supplies two brickworks in Leicestershire. The main purpose of the material is for blending; the NPPF requires this matter to be taken into account in planning for the supply of brick clay. Based on estimated future production, current permitted reserves at Waingroves Quarry should be sufficient to last for 35 years. Nevertheless the Plan should make reference to this cross border movement of material, including the need to monitor supply.

Consultation on Nottinghamshire County Council - Minerals Local Plan Issues and Options 2017


I write with regard to the above consultation, upon which Derbyshire County Council (DCC) and Derby City Council have the following comments to make.

Brick Clay Provision

Waingroves Quarry in Derbyshire supplies Kirton Brickworks in Nottinghamshire with approximately 24,000 tonnes of brick clay annually. It also supplies two brickworks in Leicestershire. The main purpose of the material is for blending; the NPPF requires this matter to be taken into account in planning for the supply of brick clay. Based on estimated future production, current permitted reserves at Waingroves Quarry should be sufficient to last for 35 years. Nevertheless the Plan should make reference to this cross border movement of material, including the need to monitor supply.

Industrial Dolomitic Limestone Provision

Whitwell Quarry, operated by Tarmac, lies on the dolomitic limestone resource which straddles the County boundary with Nottinghamshire; the resource is of national importance. The Issues and Options Consultation matters in a Duty to Co-operate Report which was first published in 2015.

The County and City Council will be publishing the next stage of the preparation of the Derbyshire and Derby Minerals Local Plan by the end of January 2018. It will include an updated Duty to Co-operate Report.

Mineral Safeguarding Areas

Development which is close to, but not actually within, a mineral resource may also lead to the sterilisation of part of the resource. For example, if a house was built in this zone close to a mineral resource, a quantity of the resource may not be able to be worked (it would be sterilised) as the property would lie within the area that could be affected by the effects of mineral working to an unacceptable degree. To take account of such risks, and to also account for the inexact nature of mapped geological boundaries , particularly for more scarce resources, consideration should be given to whether it will be necessary to extend the MSA beyond the actual resource boundary, using a buffer zone.


Please note that these are officer comments, and are subject to consideration by the Chair and Vice Chair of the Derby and Derbyshire Development Plans Joint Advisory Committee.
