Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund for Wales

The Fund will be used to address issues specific to Wales.

The Scheme

The Aggregate Levy was introduced by the Finance Act 2001, which came into effect in April 2002. Part of the money generated by the Levy has been used to set up a Sustainability Fund to address the environmental costs associated with aggregate extraction. In Wales, the Fund will be used to address issues specific to Wales:

  • legacy of old minerals permissions;
  • promoting the use of alternative materials to aggregates;
  • reducing the impact of aggregate extraction;
  • environmental and amenity benefits to communities affected by aggregate extraction;
  • conserving sites of special interest; and
  • education projects linked to quarrying.

Funding is available for projects that address the above issues and meet the criteria set out in the information packs.

Applications

Information packs, including application forms and guidance notes, are available from the Planning Policy Branch.
