Supreme Court overturns ban on Heathrow's third runway

The controversial project was previously blocked by the Court of Appeal, who concluded it conflicted with climate goals following a case brought by environmental groups including Friends of the Earth.
The Supreme Court has now ruled Heathrow Airport’s strategy was based on older, less ambitious climate targets at the time it was agreed and has decided it can now seek planning permission for the runway.
Heathrow Airport still needs to face a public enquiry of the case for expansion and win approval from government before construction can go ahead.
Tim Crosland, Director of Plan B.Earth, a charity providing strategic legal action to tackle climate change, said: “As the IPCC has shown, the consequences for humanity of exceeding the 1.5˚C temperature limit are dire, with the younger generation and the Global South on the frontline. Mr Grayling’s hidden reliance upon the discredited, dangerous 2˚C limit to support his plans was a treasonous betrayal of the young people of this country and made a mockery of the government’s commitment to showing international leadership in the face of the climate emergency, which our Parliament and the UN Secretary General have declared.
