The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what her planned timetable is for a decision on planning permission for the proposed Whitehaven coal mine.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

No target date has yet been set for a decision for the redetermination of this case. Following the quashing of the previous Secretary of State’s decision, the Secretary of State will now write to parties to give them the opportunity to provide any updated information to inform the redetermination. A decision will then be made on the process for redetermination, following which a timetable will be set.
