The UK government has temporarily blocked the development of what would be the nation’s first new deep coal mine in 30 years, while it decides whether to call in the application or hand the decision back to local authorities in Cumbria, in the northwest of England.

Cumbria County councillors voted 12-3 to grant planning permission to West Cumbria Mining’s Woodhouse Colliery project on Friday.
