Horse Hill Oil Drilling Judicial Review Court Of Appeal London

Add to Lightbox Download

Environmental campaigners gather outside the Court of Appeal in support of a legal challenge by Sarah Finch, joined by Friends of the Earth, against a decision by Surrey County Council in 2019 to allow two decades of oil production (3 million tonnes of oil) at Horse Hill in Surrey on 16th November 2021 in London, United Kingdom. A High Court judge previously found that the council had acted lawfully and rationally in making its decision but Ms Finch is now asking the Court of Appeal to consider whether the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) forming part of the planning decision-making process should also have taken into account the very significant greenhouse gas emissions which will arise from the subsequent burning of the extracted oil.
