Fracking firm Ineos gets green light to take National Trust to court

Chemicals and fracking firm Ineos has been given permission to take the National Trust to the High Court over its refusal to allow it access to its Clumber Park estate for seismic testing.

The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) gave Ineos leave to proceed with legal action on 22 February. The case will be heard by a judge who has the power to grant Ineos access to National Trust land, according to Ineos.
