Last month, we posted CDE’s planning application for Blackhill Quarry recommended for approval, and this week, Conservative Councillors at East Devon District Council duly approved the controversial planning application from Clinton Devon Estates for 35,000 sq ft of industrial units at Blackhill Quarry on Woodbury Common – in an area that was meant to be restored back to heathland.
Details on the EDDC Planning Committee meeting can be found at East Devon Watch. Tony Bennett chair of "Wild Woodbury" responded:
There was a fantastic turnout for the meeting and I think it is fair to say everyone left feeling let down, angry, and betrayed. The floodgates are now open.
