Episode 18: Interview with Sarah Finch – The campaigner behind the most significant climate case of this century so far (Part 1)

On 20 June 2024, the Supreme Court handed down its judgment in R (Finch) v Surrey County Council [2024] P.T.S.R. 988 in which the majority found that the grant of planning permission for oil production in Horse Hill, Surrey, was unlawful, because the environmental impact assessment had not assessed the downstream greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of the oil. There has been a significant amount of legal commentary on the case, but who is Sarah Finch, the campaigner behind the case, and the Weald Action Group? What does she think about the judgment? In this episode, Sarah sets out her background and her passion for the environment and climate, and the other campaigns of the Weald Action Group, before delving into her thoughts on the judgment.
