6.6 The national and regional guidelines for
aggregate provision indicate that the average annual
production in the East Midlands for sand and gravel
should be 11.0 million tonnes (MT) a year and for
land won crushed rock, 34.9 MT. The sale information
shows that in 2004 sales of rock were 28.15
(compared to 28.45MT in 2003) thus remaining
below the guideline figure. Sales information for
sand and gravel in 2004 is 10.20MT (compared to
10.9MT in 2003) again below the guideline annual
figure for the East Midlands.
6.7 Data for recycled and secondary aggregates is
largely based on surveys and it is recognised that
there are difficulties in obtaining reliable information.

Source: Survey of Arisings and Use of Construction, Demolition and Evacuation Waste as Aggregate in England
2003 (ODPM Oct 2004)
as was reported in the 2004/05 monitoring report
and is drawn from the survey undertaken by Capita
Symonds in 2003.The results of the survey were
published in ‘Survey of Arisings and Use of
Construction, Demolition and Excavation Wastes as
Aggregate in England’ (October 2004) and estimated
production of recycled aggregate in the East
Midlands in 2003 to be 4.26 million tonnes (+/- 14%).
In addition, 0.62 MT (+/- 19%) of recycled soil was
produced and reused. The recycled material was
estimated to be 49.4 % of the construction,
demolition and excavation waste (CDEW) generated
in the East Midlands compared to 50.0% in England.

requirements for aggregates provision and as the
