The Claimant argued that the regime of controlling carbon emissions was akin to air quality. It was a programmatic regime. The Gateshead principle did not bite. The Decision was therefore wrong for essentially assuming that the Secretary of State would comply with the duties under the CCA.

When Gateshead was chosen as the venue for the World Cross Country Championships in 1983, Waitz emerged from a spell of injury and lost form with a fifth triumph in the women’s race. It proved to be a springboard to her momentous winning run in the marathon at the inaugural World Championships in Helsinki later that year.

About Me

I am at the moment re-editing a film I took of the summer fayre in 1989. You may have seen it in the past, in fact, I bet you are in it, as are many of the parishioners at around that time. The High Court, at ¶144 noted that the critical part of the Panel’s reasoning was that the net zero duty rested upon the Secretary of State making decisions for the United Kingdom as a whole. Here, however, the Secretary of State was dealing with an individual planning application in a particular local authority. The CCA duty essentially lay in the higher realm of national policymaking; not – as here – local decision making. The Grete North Run!’ screamed the headline in the Newcastle Journal the morning after the first of those course record triumphs. Ten years after her sad passing, it is fitting that one of the sport’s all-time greats has been honoured with a World Athletics Heritage Plaque. Interesting that there is a major role in all this for archbishop Arthur Roche, the new head of the Congregation for Divine Worship. In his younger days he was private secretary to bishop William Gordon Wheeler, the bishop of Leeds (1966-1985) and, at the time the bishop in England most sympathetic to the cause to save the TLM. I remember Arthur coming to the English College in Rome in 1991 to get a licence ( ecclesiastical degree) so he could be advanced. Arthur`s rise to power has been remarkable but he has not always been known for pastoral sensitivity as when during his time as bishop of Leeds parishes were closed. In 2008 Roche's plans to close seven parishes produced vigorous protests, especially on the part of a parish in Allerton Bywater that offered a Latin Mass. I suspect we are in for a rough ride. Ground 3 challenged that reasoning. It argued – in essence – that it could not be assumed that the Secretary of State would comply with his net zero duty.

The cultural quarter on Gateshead Quays will, of course, be the jewel in the crown of the regeneration. Yet Barford claims: “We didn’t start with the big picture for a cultural complex. We did it incrementally. Gateshead, though, was always the poor relation across the water. Its industrial economy was already in decline by the close of the 19th century. It suffered greatly during the depression. Now, its time has come - with culture rather than industry providing the way forward.This was an issue when a Panel appointed by the Secretary of State granted planning permission to an extension of Bristol Airport (“the Decision”). What is striking is the quality of the design and engineering of these new projects. Gateshead has chosen its architects well. Each has come up with a design that lives up to Tyneside's bravura engineering and industrial past. Although refined, none is fey. This is good news, because so many redeveloped quaysides - from New York and Chicago to Cape Town - can be a little too much like water's-edge shopping malls. Gateshead itself boasts one of the biggest and cheesiest shopping malls of all, the gigantic Metro Centre, which, although undoubtedly popular, is a monstrous carbuncle on the face of north-east England. Gateshead Quay might yet redeem the architectural and planning sins of this unholy retail trough.

Whilst it is always sad if a church needs to be closed we must accept that the financial implications must weigh heavily on the diocese unless Catholics return to their Faith & provide for a church AND PRIESTS to serve the churches. Cultural projects like Gateshead Quays require faith and considerable teamwork. There are about 18 governmental bodies and cultural organisations involved in this regeneration programme. The total cost for the development of the whole of east Gateshead is about half that of last year's Millennium Experience. It beggars belief: a bridge, a world-class concert hall and art gallery, new hotels and homes, places to shop and eat, stop and stare on the banks of the Tyne, all for the price of a circus tent and its contents. Firstly, although the approach to Net Zero and the carbon budget is a material consideration, the CCA places an obligation on the SoS, not local decision makers, to prepare policies and proposals with a view to meeting the carbon budgets. Secondly, as advised in the NPPF, there is an assumption that controls which are in place will work. Finally, and consequent on the previous points, [the Claimant]’s position that grant of permission in this case would breach the CCA and be unlawful is not accepted. That does not mean that these matters are not material considerations, but the CCA duty rests elsewhere. Close by, Foster and Partners' Gateshead Music Centre is being inflated on the riverbank. At least, that's what it looks like. The curvaceous building is made from concrete, steel and aluminium, but looks as though it has been pumped up - architecture's answer to Charles Atlas or Jayne Mansfield. In other lights it resembles a giant dirigible moored to the banks of the Tyne. Either way, it will be unmissable. Huge windows will provide views of Newcastle's city centre. Inside, airy foyers and filigree walkways will lead to a 1,650-seat auditorium, a secondary concert hall, a music school and rehearsal rooms. The centre will be home not just to Northern Sinfonia, but also to Folkworks, a charity promoting traditional music.Having read the comments from the Pope I am at a loss to understand how he can say that the Holy Spirit guided Pope Benedict in freeing up the EF Mass while at the same time claiming the guidance of the same Holy Spirit is his preventing it. Surely the Holy Spirit, as a omniscient part of the Holy Trinity, would have foreseen the difficulties caused by His giving contrasting guidance to 2 different Popes. Yes Anonymous, Father Donnelly was a wonderful man and priest. I particularly remember attending a celebratory mass for his silver jubilee.

A central plank of the reasoning is contained in the following passage where the Panel then made three points: Michael Rhimes is a barrister at Francis Taylor Building specialising in environmental, planning and public law.

St Mary's Church, Bishophill Junior, York

The Gateshead principle is now enshrined in NPPF, paragraph 188. The Decision summarised that paragraph as follows: The details of the bridge are impressive. The steel pedestrian walkways include benches, and are raised above the perforated aluminium cycle path to offer generous views of the Tyne and its twin cities. The bridge can be raised and lowered, all but silently, in just four minutes. It is expected to be opened about 200 times a year, a sight well worth seeing. By night it lights up beautifully. The Secretary of State is under a duty to ensure that the UK’s carbon account reaches “net zero” by 2050 ( section 1 of the Climate Change Act 2008 (as amended in 2019 following the Paris Agreement)), the “ net zero duty”. To that end, the Secretary of State must prepare carbon budgets, progressively reducing the amount of carbon in the budget to reach that goal.
