Respondent: Warwickshire County Council [Archaeological Information and Advice]
The County Council as the Mineral Planning Authority take the view as that any sites brought forward should not sterilise viable sand and gravel reserves in the emerging plan.
Para. 144 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that "local planning authorities... should not normally permit other [non-mineral] development in minerals safeguarding areas where they might constrain potential future use for these purposes".
The County Council has "set out" Minerals Safeguarding Areas (MSAs) / Minerals Consultation Areas (MCAs) to identify known locations of important mineral resources and ensure that they are not needlessly sterilised by non-mineral development. Please refer to the attached plans.
The issue of sand and gravel provision is of particular importance for the County as the NPPF states that mineral planning authorities must maintain a landbank of at least 7 years. The latest West Midlands Aggregate Working Party (WMAWP) information shows that Warwickshire's existing sand and gravel landbank about 3 years at 2010 and based on the County's latest 'call for sites' information, there appear to be few sites put forward by the industry for potential allocation. If the County is to meet its existing apportionment, prior extraction of sand and gravel (if practicable and environmentally feasible) may contribute to meeting any shortfall.

Dear Dave,
Consultation response to the Preliminary Community infrastructure levy (CIL) Charging Schedule
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Warwick District Council's Preliminary CIL Charging schedule and supporting documents.
The County Council supports the intention of introducing the Community Infrastructure levy within Warwick District.
Planned growth within the District Council will place pressure on the services we provide. We wish to make it clear at the outset that it is unlikely that other sources of funding, including our own resources, will be available to subsidise the commensurate expansion of supporting services. This may mean that some infrastructure projects are delayed or potentially never built. Careful consideration needs to be given when prioritising infrastructure projects against the pressures of growth and we recognise the difficult balance that needs to be struck. We look forward to working with you to achieve the most effective use of any CIL resource.
The delivery of the necessary infrastructure will largely depend on strong and close partnership working. We need to work together on a continuous basis to bring about the timely delivery of the necessary infrastructure to deliver the sustainable ambitions for growth.

Whitnash East (South of Sydenham)

Respondent: Warwickshire County Council [Archaeological Information and Advice]
Our initial assessment indicates that the 'Whitnash East' allocation (see plan 1 as approximately 70% (40ha) of the site appears to be underlain by sand and gravel (based on the resource information supplied by the British Geological Survey). Therefore, a detailed minerals survey (complete with borehole evidence) is required undertaken to establish the volume and quality of the material and, in consultation with WCC and the mineral industry, whether prior extraction in advance of the development is "practicable and environmentally feasible" (para 143, bullet point 5 of the NPPF). Such prior extraction may offer flood attenuation/alleviation and biodiversity opportunities given that the site falls within EA flood zones 2 and 3.

Respondent: Warwickshire County Council [Archaeological Information and Advice]
There appears to be no detailed allocations for the rural settlements, should the District Council wish to consider any sites please refer to attach a plan (plan 2) showing the full extent of the sand and gravel resource/MSA for your information.
