Conservation of Devon’s archaeological heritage
The Society is consulted by a wide range of organisations on proposals which may affect this and also initiates debate on relevant topics. Most recently such consultations have involved Princesshay and the historic core of Exeter. It has responded to numerous consultation documents – the Devon Structure Plan, the Devon County Minerals Local Plan and DEFRA’s proposals on rights of way.
