21st June 2023. The Supreme Court, London, UK. Friends of the Earth press release. Climate: Supreme Court to hear landmark legal challenge •Horse Hill decision could have major repercussions for new UK fossil fuel developments – including Cumbrian coal mine •Supporters of the legal challenge will be outside the Supreme Court in Westminster between 9 and 10.30am A landmark legal challenge that could have major repercussions for new fossil fuel developments in the UK will be heard today by the Supreme Court in London. The legal case, brought by former Surrey resident Sarah Finch on behalf of the Weald Action Group, and supported by Friends of the Earth, challenges Surrey County Council’s decision to grant planning permission for oil drilling at Horse Hill in the Surrey countryside. Ms Finch contends that the environmental impact assessment should have taken into account the climate impacts that would inevitably arise from burning the extracted oil (over three million tonnes could be produced), known as ‘Scope 3’ or ‘downstream’ emissions, which didn’t happen during the planning process. Scope 3 emissions are increasingly being left out of environmental impact assessments when planning applications are made for fossil fuel projects, despite the huge climate impact these projects can have, the mounting climate crisis and the UK government’s commitment to net zero. But this could all change if this legal challenge succeeds. The significance of the case is highlighted by the fact that West Cumbria Mining, the company behind plans for a controversial new coal mine in Cumbria, is also an intervener in the Supreme Court case. The legal challenge could have significant ramifications for the future of the proposed mine as the carbon emissions from burning the extracted coal were not included in the developer's environmental impact assessment. Friends of the Earth is intervening in Ms Finch’s case, as it did in the High Court and Court of Appeal, and has w
