Local aggregate assessment
The GOV.UK: National planning policy framework says we must plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates. Local aggregate assessments have been undertaken for the area of Essex County Council, Southend-on-Sea Borough Council and Thurrock Council – together referred to as 'Greater Essex'.
Local aggregate assessment reports are produced and published by Essex County Council. Each one is dated with the year it was produced but reports on the calendar year before. For example, a report dated 'December 2019' would cover the assessment period from 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2018.
