Potash Mine Plan Approved For Park

Potash Mine Plan Approved For Park

A plan to build a huge potash mine in one of the UK's national parks has been approved.

A special planning meeting voted by eight votes to seven to allow the York Potash project to build the mine in the North York Moors National Park, just south of Whitby.

The mining firm says the scheme will generate more than 1,000 jobs. But the plan was objected to by a consortium of 29 campaign groups.
