Appendix 2 National Minerals Policy
MINERALS PLANNING GUIDANCE AND MINERALS POLICY STATEMENTS
Minerals Planning Guidance notes (MPGs) and their replacements, Minerals Policy Statements (MPSs) set out the Government’s policies on minerals and planning issues and provide advice to minerals planning authorities and the minerals industry on policies and the operation of the planning system with regard to minerals.
