=========================================

Consultation Criteria
---------------------

Devon County Council has held a consultation on its permits for works scheme.

In 2020 the scheme was made live and included the following types of works:

- All works undertaken by development companies under S38 or S278 Highways Act 1980.

**The consultation will be operated for 4 weeks from 1 February 2024.**
