Aggregate Hard Constraints
Welsh Government
These layers represent hard constraints on the development of the aggregate resource within the Welsh National Marine Plan area. A hard constraint refers to a spatial consideration (such as existing activities or infrastructure) that effectively prevents new development for a specific sector. These hard constraints layers were used as part of work to refine the Aggregates Resource Area, so that any areas covered by hard constraints were excluded from the Aggregates Refined Resource Area.
