Minerals Resource Assessment

The Devon Mineral Plan identifies a sand and gravel Preferred Area at Land West of Penslade Cross, Uffculme.  The County Council, as Mineral Planning Authority seeks to protect these resources through the implementation of Mineral Safeguarding Areas (MSA) and Policy M2 of the Devon Minerals Plan.

Where development is being proposed within or close to a MSA, the applicant may be required to submit a mineral resource assessment.  Applicants may contact the Mineral Planning Authority (mineralsplanning@devon.gov.uk) to discuss this further.
