With just 10 months to go before Aggregate Industries’ permission to quarry Straitgate Farm expires, and with monthly monitoring of Private Water Supplies currently ceased in breach of its Unilateral Undertaking legal agreement, and with no sign of the revised site entrance plans called for last July, or even the exploratory investigations required beforehand, and with infiltration tests to verify the surface water management plan still waiting to be done, and the four boreholes planned for last summer still to be drilled, and a multitude of schemes to meet pre-commencement conditions still to be agreed with Devon County Council, and with an application to quarry 3.9 million tonnes of sand and gravel at Penslade next to Hillhead now validated by Devon County Council, has the company lost interest in Straitgate?
It is certainly staying very quiet.
Aggregate Industries had agreed to provide monthly updates of its progress, in relation to implementing its permission to quarry the site.
Last month, the company anticipated being in a position to provide an update at the end of February, having reported nothing new since the beginning of last September.
No update has been forthcoming – despite a reminder sent to Aggregate Industries a week ago.
Devon County Council has also been kept in the dark.
Any update provided by the company will be posted here, as and when received.
