Appeal against Secretary of State`s decision - 1988 - EGCS 1988 156 .

In Bolton Borough Council v SoS Environment and another QBD 8 November 1988, it was held that both inspector and SoS had dealt with submissions by the applicants correctly and sufficiently; this was not a case where SoS in deciding whether to allow opencast mining had to consider coal processing and evidence of market requirements for coal.
