Court upholds enforcement action on Backdate Quarry

摘要

Earlier this year the Court of Appeal upheld the Peak District National Park Authority's enforcement action to control limestone extraction at Backdale Quarry on Longstone Edge.rnThe Authority had appealed against a ruling last year by the High Court, which overturned a planning inspector's decision, following a public inquiry in 2007, to uphold the Authority's enforcement action, thereby allowing limestone extraction to continue at Backdale.rnHowever, on 18 March 2009 three Court of Appeal judges ruled unanimously that the High Court's decision should itself be overturned.
