New A Framework for the Development of Clean Coal

A joint response from Campaign to Protect Rural England and Protect Kent to the Department of Energy and Climate Change consulation

CPRE's response supports the development of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as an interim technology, but not at the expense of investment in more sustainable renewable energy. We are concerned that new coal extraction will accelerate before CCS technology is available, diverting funds away from wave, tidal and offshore wind power, and commiting the UK to dirty coal for the next 40 years.

Out of Control

Tackling the problem of aggregate minerals landbanks

Government plans to move away from predict-and-provide in minerals planning towards a more sustainable approach could be undermined by the industry's huge aggregate landbanks - sites with planning permission for quarrying. This report explains the advantages of productive capacity as an alternative to landbanks in protecting the countryside and encouraging more efficient use of minerals, at the same time as ensuring continuity of supply.

Rocky Logic

The role of aggregates in the UK economy

Minerals planning has long been based on the assumption that minerals consumption is a measure of economic progress. Rocky Logic investigates the validity of this assumed link and concludes that it has been broken, and that a more modern approach to minerals planning policy must now be adopted.
