Shotton Surface Mine.    
Following the public enquiry in March, the independent inspector recommended that the planning refusal be overturned, the Government minister responsible has followed the inspectors' recommendations and has approved the application and planning permission has duly been granted.    
Blagdon is a business that is proud of its long record of supporting local livelihoods and creating jobs whilst enhancing the environment, and the income from the Shotton site will, as with previous schemes, be largely re-invested in the preservation and improvement of the estate.    
Watch here for future updates on the progress of what will be a major scheme, scheduled to last for eight years.    
     
Christmas Holidays: The estate office will be closed from Friday 21st December until Wednesday 2nd January.    
     
     
May I take this opportunity of wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and a peaceful, healthy and happy New Year.    
We look forward to 2008 with another full year of visits and activities, all will be anounced here. We are in the early stages of planning for another Summer Picnic, probably in late July, again details will be given here when available, so watch this space!
