SOUTH West Surrey MP Jeremy Hunt has called for an urgent review into the Government’s minerals extraction targets which state that Surrey must produce some 2.62 million tonnes of primary aggregate per annum.Jeremy has written to Ruth Kelly, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, demanding that she looks into the current formula which dictates how much primary aggregate each county must produce.Jeremy said: “I have done a lot of research into how these targets are allocated and to me the way they are worked out seem completely unsustainable.“They are merely based on how much a county has produced in the past and do not take into account mineral availability or a county’s future needs.“Surrey is comparatively small compared to some other counties which means mineral extraction sites are closer to residential areas such as in Monkton Lane, near Farnham.“Surrey is being forced to account for more than its fair share of minerals and I am immensely worried about the impact this could have in the future.”The following league table shows Surrey will have to provide the second highest amount of primary aggregate in the South East until at least 2016.Berkshire Unitaries 1.57million tonnes per annumBuckinghamshire 0.99mtpaEast Sussex/Brighton & Hove 0.01mtpaHampshire/Southampton/Portsmouth 2.63mptaIsle of Wight 0.05mtpaKent/Medway 2.53mtpaMilton Keynes 0.12mtpaOxfordshire 1.82 mtpaSurrey 2.62mtpaWest Sussex 0.91mtpaJeremy said: “Ruth Kelly must act now and do something to stop this unsustainable system of allocating minerals targets blighting the Surrey countryside for many years to come.”
