Material won from Straitgate Farm is to be processed at Hillhead Quarry near Uffculme. Earlier this month, an application by Aggregate Industries seeking prior approval of a ready-mix concrete batching plant at Hillhead was approved by Devon County Council.
It is proposed that the ready-mix concrete batching plant is located within the current processing/stockpile area of Hillhead Quarry. It is understood to be 16m in height. It would be used for the treatment and utilisation for sale of minerals, the majority of which, at least 75%, would be extracted from Hillhead Quarry.
