Whitehaven Coalmine has been withdrawn for planning, putting an end to a process that can create the first deep currencies in the UK over 30 years in CORBIA.
It was permission to plan the stam He was removed in the Supreme Court Last year, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and local government had to reassess the planning application. However, the company now wrote to the government withdraws the planning application.
Illegal Whitehaven mine was judged in September with the approval of the judge with the Friends of the Earth, which brought the judicial review, that Michael GoffWhen the Foreign Minister to raise the level of settlement was illegally acted in accepting a demand by West CORBEA mining (WCM) that the mine would be “clear zero” and has no effect on the country’s ability to meet the required emissions discounts under the 2008 Climate Change Law, because it depends on compensation by buying carbon balances from ABROAD. UK government policy does not allow international displacement to meet carbon budgets.
Emotions of the coal burning of the proposed Whitehaven mine in the climate evaluation of the developer have not been included. New fossil fuel projects are believed to be more fragile legal land after they were identified by the Supreme Court’s decision, which canceled the planning permit granted to dig oil in Horus Hill on Wilde in Sari. Ruling I found that the climate effect of burning coal, oil and gas should be taken into account when determining whether the projects will be approved.
“We were pleased that this long epic that finally finished its end. Congratulations to all the wonderful local activists who fought strongly to stop this mine,” said Tony Busworth, a climate activist in the Friends of the Earth.
“The previous government was not supposed to give the green light of these very polluted campaigns and unnecessary in the first place – and WCM was supposed to have pulled the plug in the past year when the planning permit was completely canceled and coal licenses were rejected.”
