A Lancashire resident is seeking a High Court hearing after he was refused permission to challenge the Communities’ Secretary, Sajid Javid, over Cuadrilla’s second shale gas site at Roseacre Wood.
Jules Burton, who lives 500 metres from the proposed site, heard just before Easter that his court action had been blocked. (DrillOrDrop report)
But yesterday his lawyers filed papers seeking a hearing to reconsider this decision.
The challenge centres on Mr Javid’s decision, announced in October last year, to reopen the public inquiry on Roseacre Wood.
