Britain’s approval of its first new deep coal mine in decades was unlawful because ministers failed to consider the “adverse international signal” sent by the controversial decision, environmental campaigners told London’s High Court on Tuesday.
Lawyers representing SLACC said in court filings that ministers did not consider the impact on Britain’s status as a climate leader and the potential effect of “encouraging other countries to permit new fossil fuel developments”.Britain dropped its defense of the legal challenges after a Supreme Court ruling which said planning authorities must consider the impact of burning, not just extracting, fossil fuels when deciding whether to approve projects.
West Cumbria Mining’s lawyer James Strachan said in court filings that the development would not cause a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions, as the use of coking coal extracted from the mine is driven by demand for steel.
