Little Silver Quarry, Devon, Oct 2010
Little Silver Quarry closed in the early 1970s. The quarry has historically been mined for building stone and hardcore.
In January 1994, a temporary 10-year planning permission was granted for the use of part of the site for inert waste transfer. In July 1995, planning permission was also granted for inert waste landfill in the quarry base.
In 2008 the company DD&R (Devon Dismantling & Recycling) who had planned to set up a £722,000 recycling plant went into administration leaving behind a part finished centre and debts of £118,000. The site is approximately an area of 28 acres with approximately 1.6 million ton landfill capacity.
