Normally joined up with where the county authority wants the gravel to go into public council developments. Do the gravel quarries in the winter or the year before, the roads in the summer. How has it saved a fortune?
Many quarries still in operation had their mineral rights/permissions approved before PPG16 so unless you look at the specific of each case you won't know. New quarries and new extensions to old permissions are subject to exactly the same application stages as everyone else and nothing to do with council back handers.
