🚫⛏️ Big news from Carmarthenshire! The council has officially refused the last outstanding coal mine application in the UK. Bryn Bach Coal’s plans to excavate up to 85,000 tonnes of anthracite from the Glan Lash site near Llandybie have hit a dead end. 🌳
The decision reflects the council’s commitment to protecting the local environment. Planners cited concerns over the impact on woodland, peat soils, and the county’s natural landscape. This marks a significant victory for climate action advocates and local residents who submitted over 800 objections!
🌍 Why does this matter? With no new coal mine applications in the country, and only two active ones left, the UK is making strides towards a greener future. It’s a big win for those pushing for sustainable energy solutions. 🌿
