Smith, Andrew; Highley, David; Bloodworth, Andrew; Bate, Richard. 2005 Mineral planning factsheet : natural hydraulic limes. British Geological Survey, 7pp. (Mineral Planning Factsheet) (Unpublished)
Abstract
This factsheet provides an overview of the raw materials used to manufacture Natural Hydraulic Lime in Britain. It is one of a series on economically important minerals that are extracted in Britain and which are primarily intended to inform the land-use planning process. The factsheet differs from others in the series in that it covers, in necessary technical detail, a specialist product, which recently ceased being produced in Britain, as a result of the refusal of a planning application. There remains a small, but important market for Natural Hydraulic Lime, notably in the repair of historic buildings.
