9 Ladies campaign win in the High Court

Davey | 22.06.2004 21:02 | Ecology | Sheffield

Today a High Court judge ruled that Stancliffe Stone (owned by Marshalls) do not automatically have the right to re-open the two quarries near the nine ladies stone circle on Stanton Moor in the Peak District.

The judge classified the old quarries as being disused under the 1995 Environment Act, which means that Stancliffe Stone now have to apply for permission to quarry. This could only be granted subject to stringent conditions. Possibly not the end, but definitely a first round victory!
