This annex to Minerals Policy Statement 2: Controlling and Mitigating the Environmental Effects of Mineral Extraction in England (MPS2) is a statement of the policy considerations in relation to dust from mineral workings and associated operations, and how they should be dealt with in local development frameworks and in considering individual applications.
Appendices briefly outline information on the nature of dust, give examples of methods of reducing and controlling dust, and outline good practice in dust assessment.
The Government expects mineral planning authorities (MPAs) in England to have regard to this annex alongside the policies contained in the MPS2 overarching document.
