It has been described as an 'appalling decision'
Levelling-Up Secretary Michael Gove has given permission controversial new coal mine in Cumbria, provoking anger from environmental campaigners.
DLUHC said Mr Gove “agreed to grant planning permission for a new metallurgical coal mine in Cumbria as recommended by the independent planning inspector”. “Waving this mine through further cements Rishi Sunak as an out of date fossil fuel PM in a renewable age,” the MP said.Friends of the Earth campaigner Tony Bosworth said: “Approving this mine is a misguided and deeply damaging mistake that flies in the face of all the evidence.Friends of the Earth was one of the two main parties opposing the application for planning permission at the Planning Inquiry along with local campaign group SLACC .
“West Cumbria deserves far better than this. Investing in cheap renewables and energy efficiency would put the region at the forefront of growing a clean, affordable and energy secure future – creating thousands of green jobs and opportunities locally.
