High Court decision expected on Whitehaven coal mine plan

A decision is expected on plans to build the UK’s first deep coal mine in more than 30 years.

High Court judge Justice Holgate is expected to issue his ruling later regarding plans for the facility to be built in Whitehaven, Cumbria.

The proposal by West Cumbria Mining (WCM) had received the go-ahead by the previous Conservative government in December 2022.

But legal challenges were submitted by Friends of the Earth and South Lakes Action on Climate Change (SLACC), who claimed the decision was flawed.
