Devon County Council issued seven substantive reasons why Aggregate Industries' planning application to quarry Straitgate Farm should be refused.

We have forwarded all the representations made to us on the application to the Planning Inspectorate and the appellant. These will be considered by the Inspector when determining the appeal.
