Stone
Slate Delphs
A guide to making a mineral planning
application for a stone slate quarry or delph.
The Stone Roof Working Group's guide
to making a mineral planning application for a small quarry or delph. Before
you can open a quarry or delph you must obtain planning permission from
the local council. This can appear to be more difficult than it really
is, so don't be put off. Help and support are available from many organisations
and if the various steps are approached methodically with a clear plan
of action in mind you will find that the process is straightforward.
This guide sets out the stages in
preparing an application and where to go for help and advice.
Every council will have a Local
Plan that is intended to ensure that the market for stone products can
be satisfied without unacceptable consequences. So if there is a demand
for the products then the mineral planning process will normally support
its supply. It applies equally to small building stone quarry applications.
It can be obtained from the Institute
of Historic Building Conservation at technical@ihbc.org.uk
price £4.00 including postage. Be sure to include your name, delivery
address and phone number in the email. You will be invoiced.

The
Roofs Of England
Now out of print but can be viewed
here
(external link)
The extraordinary richness of England’s
built heritage is a reminder of our ingenuity in response to our surroundings
and their particular environmental and geographical characteristics. The
roofs and walls of historic buildings are clues to the geology of the surrounding
landscape, and demonstrate the skill by which the local population used
available resources to provide shelter thereby developing the vernacular
or traditional local buildings we now cherish.
