Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas development plans the go-ahead was "unlawful" and failed to take into consideration the resultant carbon emissions of the extraction In what is now being celebrated as an ‘historic win for the ocean and for the world’ the decision to greenlight a giant new oilfield off Shetland has The proposed Rosebank development – the UK’s biggest untapped oilfield – had been given the go-ahead in 2023 under the previous government granting consent to develop oil and gas fields across the Rosebank to the north west of Shetland and the Jackdaw gas field off Aberdeen a judge in Edinburgh has upheld a legal challenge levied by Greenpeace and Uplift against the decision The environmental campaign groups argued the UK Government and North Sea Transition Authority (NTSA) had acted unlawfully when granting consent to the projects the courts have ruled that environmental impact assessments into the development of oil and gas fields in the Rosebank and Jackdaw at the time failed to take into account downstream emissions resulting from the burning of the extracted fossil fuels executive director and vice president at Oceana UK has called the ruling an “historic moment” that “marks the start of a new path to clean energy and clean seas” and a toxic cocktail of pollutants are already ripping the heart out of UK seas blighting our internationally important wildlife from seabirds to seals,” he said in a statement posted to the Oceana UK website “A major oilspill from Rosebank could have devastated no less than 16 UK marine protected areas “This marks the end of lying to ourselves about the reality of the climate crisis and the deep harm to the ocean perpetrated by Big Oil.” UN deep sea mining body levels criticism at Trump administration How one Pisaster

seabird migration crucial to reduce extinction risks The former Conservative-led UK government first approved Shell’s proposals to develop the Jackdaw field in 2022 and cleared Equinor and Ithaca Energy’s plans to drill in the Rosebank field in September 2023 Lord Ericht said the decision to grant this consent was unlawful and ruled the consent should be ‘reduced’ and reconsidered he said: “Having considered all the circumstances of the case and the various public and private interests I have reached the conclusion that the balance lies in favour of granting reduction The public interest in authorities acting lawfully and the private interest of members of the public in climate change outweigh the private interest of the developers Equinor and Ithaca in respect of their private interest do not justify the departure on equitable grounds from the normal remedy of reduction of an unlawful decision.” The ruling has ordered the reduction be suspended pending the Secretary of State’s re-consideration of the matter which he said would give companies ‘options’ on how to proceed in the interim that no oil or gas should be extracted before a new decision on consent is made “The government now has the chance to remake the decision after their oil and gas consultation concludes in the spring,” said a spokesperson from the campaign group we can and must stop new oil and gas developments now to stay within ‘safe’ climate limits But this mustn’t come at the expense of workers and communities that have relied on these industries for generations “New fields like Rosebank won’t solve the decline of jobs in the North Sea the number of jobs supported by the oil and gas industry in the UK has more than halved the way to create long-term secure jobs is to invest in a ‘just transition’ and support workers to transition into clean energy industries that have a future.” Shell has called for swift action from the government as it seeks new consents while Equinor has “welcomed the ruling” as a chance to continue with progressing the Rosebank project while waiting for new consents A spokesperson from the Department for Energy Security and New Zero said: “The government has already consulted on revised environmental guidance to take into account emissions from burning extracted oil and gas to provide stability for industry #StopRosebank concluded their statement with a call to action “Today has been a massive step forward towards a sustainable fossil-free future for all The next months will set the course for the UK’s energy future Let’s make sure it’s a future we can be proud of.” Click here for more from the Oceanographic Newsroom.

We believe Twenty1’s units are three to four times larger than similar offerings in the area balconies are a rare feature in Rosebank developments All units also include fully fitted kitchens with Bosch appliances engineered stone tops and LED backlights as well as internal built-in cupboards and modern bathrooms with hidden systems “We were very intentional about maintaining spacious layouts as we didn’t want to compromise on quality by cramming too much into a smaller area just to maximize the number of units.” A render of Twenty 1’s in-house coffee shop investors and first-time home buyers can enter the property market at a 30% discount with the same valuation as everyone else in Rosebank “Twenty1’s net asset appreciation offers significant advantages to investors,” he says Investors can expect an 11% yield from Year 1 and an ROI of between 20% and 22% depending on the unit with comparative rentals for similar units in the area between R12 000 and R16 000 A render of Twenty 1’s co-working space “We believe Rosebank’s property prices will stabilize over time.

In an exchange with the Green MP Carla Denyer, the energy minister Michael Shanks was forced to admit that 13 oil and gas fields currently at consent phase are subject to the recent court ruling A number of Labour MPs told the Guardian earlier this month that they believed there would be significant resistance in the party if the guidance ultimately led to the drilling being allowed to go ahead at Rosebank But Shanks told parliament this week that the impact of the court ruling was likely to extend beyond Rosebank and Jackdaw He said “existing licences will be honoured and we will not remove licences from fields that already have a licence consents – the point at which extraction takes place – must take into account climate tests and not least the compatibility test laid down by the supreme court Any applications now or in future must take account of that.” A source at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said licences that were at “consent level” would be subject to this consultation which is being helmed by Miliband The result of that consultation may preclude the development of new oil and gas projects in the North Sea, the source said, but would depend how far along they were in their application phase. Government data shows there are 13 licences at that stage The guidance will cover how companies can account for “scope three emissions” – those caused by burning fossil fuels It comes after a landmark case last year which set a precedent that these emissions have to be accounted for in planning applications This guidance is under consultation but it is expected to set out how scope three emissions can be recorded and accounted for Climate experts including Tessa Khan at Uplift who brought the successful case against Rosebank have argued that no scope three emissions are acceptable and that allowing new oil and gas fields would breach the UK’s climate goals Alexander Kirk, a fossil fuels campaigner at Global Witness, said the consultation should result in the cancellation of all the new licences in the pipeline. He added: “What the vast majority of people in the UK want is energy that’s cheap and clean, like wind and solar. Fossil fuels are dirty and we know that they’re turbo-charging climate breakdown “If this government wants to stay true to its climate promises From the LA wildfires to devastating floods closer to home – from Leicestershire to Valencia – our climate is reaching boiling point Our politicians must do what they can to prevent further damage and that means keeping oil and gas in the ground.” A Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spokesperson said: “Fields with a licence but not yet consented may be awaiting additional guidance before determining whether to proceed with their developments – this depends where they are in the regulatory process this is a commercial matter for the relevant companies.”
