Agenda item

The Minerals Team Manager introduced the report.

The officer expressed a desire to present regular updates to Members to ensure that they were fully aware of the work of the Minerals Team. She explained the nature of their work, including the ongoing monitoring of adherence to conditions and dealing with applications to discharge those conditions. In the financial year 2016/17, 49 chargeable site inspections had been undertaken, generating an income of £15,998.

Derbyshire County Council and the officer co-operated to draw up an annual Local Aggregate Assessment, in line with practice in the wider industry.

Using a PowerPoint presentation, the officer gave updates on Topley Pike Quarry, Stanton Moor Quarry and Longstone Edge East, as summarised in her report. Members welcomed this, confirming that more reporting would be welcome and congratulating the Minerals Team on their achievements.

The Director of Conservation and Planning confirmed that an annual review of minerals and waste applications and subsequent monitoring would be provided for Members.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
