Received: 28/09/2018

Respondent: Derbyshire County Council

I write with regard to the consultation on the Minerals Local Plan, upon which Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council have the following comments to make.

Brick Clay Provision
Policy MP6: Brick Clay provision.
This policy approach is supported and will ensure the supply of Brick Clay.

Paragraph 4.68
The reference to the cross border movement of clay for blending purposes, from Waingroves Quarry in Derbyshire to Kirton Pit in Nottinghamshire, is welcomed.
Industrial Dolomitic Limestone Provision - Paragraph 4.82
The reference to the importance of the dolomitic limestone resource which straddles the County boundary with Nottinghamshire is welcomed; the nearby presence of the active Whitwell Quarry which lies in Derbyshire and the need for joint working to ensure the continued supply of this scarce material is supported.
The plan accurately reflects the predicted timescale for existing permitted reserves of industrial limestone at Whitwell Quarry, which are anticipated to be worked by 2033, which is during the plan period. Whilst the issues and Options SA considered that the most sustainable way of making provision for industrial dolomite is to allocate sites, this approach can only be implemented where sites are promoted for working during the plan period. No sites have been promoted for working at this time and therefore a criteria policy is supported for ensuring supply.
The reference to the need to ensure the protection of Creswell Crags from any future mineral working is welcomed.
Duty to Cooperate
DCC (and on behalf of Derby City Council) co-operates with Nottinghamshire County Council on a number of issues which have been identified as having strategic cross boundary implications for plan preparation. The county Council has set out these matters in a Duty to Co-operate Report which was published as part of the Spring 2018 consultation.
Following changes to the NPPF, and the introduction of Statements of Common Ground, these matters will need to be considered as part of this process.
Sand and gravel
The approach set out in Policy MP2 is supported as it makes provision for a steady and adequate supply of sand and gravel, whereby there should be no significant implications for Derbyshire.
Crushed rock (aggregate)
The approach set out in Policy MP4 is supported as it makes provision for a steady and adequate supply of limestone crushed rock, whereby there should be no significant implications for Derbyshire.
Restoration
DCC considers the emerging approach for restoration and after-use of minerals sites is appropriate. It may, however, be appropriate to make reference in this section of the Trent Valley Strategy, which takes a landscape scale approach to restoration along the Trent Valley in Derbyshire. This has been discussed in previous Duty to Cooperate meetings between the authorities.
Minerals and minerals infrastructure safeguarding
The list of minerals identified for safeguarding appears to be comprehensive and reflects those of national and local importance. The approach set out in Policy SP8 appears to be comprehensive and is supported.
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.

Paragraph 4.82
Reference to importance of dolomitic limestone resource straddling the County boundary is welcomed; the nearby presence of the active Whitwell Quarry and need for joint working to ensure the continued supply is supported.

Whilst the SA considered the most sustainable way of making provision is to allocate sites, this can only be implemented where sites are promoted by the industry. No sites have been promoted therefore criteria policy is supported.
