North Plymstock Area Action Plan - (including Minerals)

The City Council’s vision for North Plymstock is to create a new, high quality and distinctive urban district for Plymouth that will include new, sustainable neighbourhoods.

This Area Action Plan sets out land use policies and proposals to create sustainable, new, mixed use but mainly residential neighbourhoods at Plymstock Quarry, and related to Sherford. It also sets out policies and proposals for neighbouring sites including Chelson Meadow, Saltram, Moorcroft Quarry and Hazeldene Quarry.
