Dartmoor NPA Comment on Devon Minerals Core Strategy, June 2011

I think this has particular relevance for Whitecleave Quarry...

Dartmoor NPA:

With the imminent demise of the Devon County Structure Plan this Authority would urge the County Council to ensure that policy relating to protected landscapes is clearly and robustly reflected in the Minerals Core Strategy. Policy CO2 of the Structure Plan states that particular care will “be taken to ensure that no development is permitted outside Dartmoor or Exmoor National Parks which would damage their natural beauty, character and special qualities or otherwise prejudice the achievement of National Park purposes”. It would be important in the absence of a policy tier above the Core Strategy that the essence of this policy, which ensures development outside Dartmoor does not impact upon the special qualities of the National Park, is included within the Minerals Core Strategy.
