Joint Local Aggregates Assessment (2022)

About this publication

To plan for a steady and adequate supply of aggregates the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (July 2021) states that mineral planning authorities should prepare a Local Aggregate Assessment (LAA).

The LAA provides a forecast of demand for aggregates, an analysis of supply options and assesses the balance between supply and demand.

It therefore provides a key evidence base on which to base decisions on the scale, and geographical distribution of future aggregates supply in minerals plans.
