Sažetak
Generally an aggregate plan is considered a land use planning policy in relation to mineral extraction. “The planning system has a fundamental role in providing a framework within which sound and consistent decisions on mineral development proposals can be taken. Authorities should seek through their development plan policies and decisions to take account of all costs and benefits associated with mineral working in accordance with the principles of the Sustainable Development. The main aims which relate to minerals planning as follows: • Social progress which recognizes the needs of everyone: to provide for the benefits of increased prosperity through an adequate supply of minerals that society needs now and in the future, together with protecting and improving amenity ; • Effective protection of the environment: to protect things that are highly cherished for their intrinsic qualities, such as wildlife, landscapes and historic features ; and to protect human health and safety by ensuring that environmental impacts caused by mineral extraction and transportation are within acceptable limits ; and to secure, without compromise, restoration and aftercare to provide for appropriate and beneficial after- use ; • Prudent use of natural resources: to help conserve non-renewable resources for future generations through efficient use, recycling and minimization of waste ; to protect renewable resources from serious harm or pollution ; and to promote the use of appropriate alternative materials ; • Maintenance of high and stable levels of economic growth: to ensure an adequate supply of minerals that are needed at prices that are reasonable ; and to safeguard mineral resources for future generations. Deposits of construction minerals (i.e. aggregates) possess three main characteristics, namely their location-bound, regional application and exhaustible nature. Due to these properties the existence of deposits as well as their extent and constitution need to be determined as early as possible. Whether or not a deposit can be used later on depends on land use planning in consideration of all relevant aspects. Timely and complete information on deposits helps to improve the resolution of potential use conflicts in land use planning.
