Straitgate Quarry mock-up

We have made various unsuccessful requests to Devon County Council and Aggregate Industries to make public the concept drawings of how AI propose to quarry and restore Straitgate Farm. The drawings have been produced by AI's consultants SLR, and, although at early stages, they have been made available to a number of statutory consultees. In the absense of these drawings, and in response to an idea from a local resident, we have produced an aerial mock-up to show the devastating impact a quarry at Straitgate Farm would have. If AI feel this mock-up fails to portray an accurate picture then we would of course be happy to publish their drawings.
