Safeguarded minerals: Q16 enquires
Self-service checks for conveyancing enquiries on mineral safeguarding areas and mineral consultation areas.
We, the Council, hold data on Minerals Safeguarding Areas and Minerals Consultation Areas. This data can be used to answer “Question 16” enquiries, one of the standard optional questions which may be asked by solicitors or property search companies when carrying out searches in property conveyancing.
Question 16 (Q16) of the ‘Optional enquiries of local authorities’ form, which is a standard property search form used in England, asks “Is the area a mineral consultation area or mineral safeguarding area notified by the county planning authority under Schedule 1 para 7 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990?”
