Plan B Earth v Secretary of State for Transport: CA 27 Feb 2020

The claimants appealed from rejection of their objection to the grant of permission for a third runway at Heathrow airport.
Held: The appeal succeeded. The government had set a statutory target for carbon emissions, but the policy decision had paid inadequate attention to that statutory duty, and the decision must be set aside.
