Unauthorised Development and Site Monitoring
As the Waste and Mineral Planning Authority, Devon County Council must ensure that quarries and waste sites operate to the highest environmental standards.
This is achieved by working with local communities, District Councils and Parish Councils in addition to the mineral and waste site operators to foster good working practices and relations.
Each site is regularly visited and the monitoring of any permission granted by Devon County Council takes place, ensuring compliance with the planning consent and conditions.
If required, Devon County Council will carry out appropriate legal action against unauthorised waste or minerals development.
Working in partnership with the Environment Agency, the County reviews all applications for new or altered Waste Management Licences.
