Sirius completes approval process – Alert

North Yorks Moors National Park Authority on Oct. 19 issued a decision notice to Sirius Minerals, formally granting planning permission for the company’s mine and mineral transport system application. This notice completes the planning approvals needed to start construction, Sirius said in a statement earlier today. However, campaigners opposed to the mine say the fight is not over and the charity Campaign for National Parks said it now will review the documentation to see if there are grounds for a legal challenge.
