BATTLE plans have been drawn up this week by Buckfastleigh town councillors determined to see off proposals to build a processing plant at Whitecleave Quarry.

Their attack strategy was outlined on Wednesday night by planning and environment consultant Charlie Hopkins, who told them: 'We are all together in this fight.'

He revealed that leading water and bat experts could be brought in to the frame with findings that could stop the whole scheme 'dead in its tracks'.
