The levy on aggregate extraction was introduced in April 2002; part of
the money raised by the levy finances the Aggregates Levy Sustainability
Fund (ALSF). The aim of ALSF is to address the environmental and social
costs of aggregate extraction through delivery of environmental improvements, minimising the demand for primary aggregates and reducing
the local effects of aggregate extraction.
Natural England has an ALSF allocation of £5 million in the financial year
2007/2008. Find out more about the scheme and how to apply.
