Planning for industrial minerals is a matter for minerals planning authorities. The National Planning Policy Framework asks that minerals planning authorities should plan for a steady and adequate supply of industrial minerals by providing a stock of permitted reserves to support the level of actual and proposed investment required for new or existing plant and the maintenance and improvement of existing plant and equipment, of at least 10 years for individual silica sand sites, and at least 15 years for silica sand sites where significant new capital is required.<\/p>
National Planning Practice Guidance states that the required stock of permitted reserves for each silica sand site should be based on the average of the previous 10 years sales, and that the calculations should have regard to the quality of sand and the use to which the material is put.<\/p>

HM Treasury has already allocated departments nearly £700 million to prepare for EU Exit: £412 million for DIT, FCO and DExEU over the parliament at Autumn Statement 2016 and nearly £300 million across a number of departments from the Reserve in 2017-18.<\/p>
At Autumn Budget 2017 HM Treasury made another £3 billion of additional funding available over 2018-19 and 2019-20 \u2013 £1.5 billion in each year. We have not bid for any of this funding to date.<\/p>
Departmental allocations for 2019-20 will be agreed later on in the year and decisions on funding in 2020-21 and beyond will be decided at the next Spending Review. This is because requirements in these years will be heavily affected by what is agreed in our negotiations with the EU.<\/p>

My Department publishes statistics showing the total dwelling stock in England each year, which can be found at the following link. These estimates are based on the latest census count incremented annually with the net additional dwelling statistics. The dwelling stock estimates also provide a split by tenure that takes account of the net increases in supply and also changes between tenure such as Right to Buy sales.<\/p>
