Bird expert succeeds in bid to challenge A6
An environmentalist has won High Court permission to challenge a planned new £160 million road being built through a landscape made famous by poet Seamus Heaney.
Chris Murphy was granted leave to seek a judicial review over an alleged breach of a directive on a protected area close to a section of the A6 Belfast to Londonderry upgrade.
A judge said there was still uncertainty surrounding ecological checks carried out on the potential disturbance to wildlife on Lough Neagh and Lough Beg from the proposed Toome to Castledawson stretch of carriageway.
