Reports that the Secretary of State for the Environment has rejected two development proposals affecting Hadrian's Wall.

The second, submitted in1992, was for opencast mining on the old Stagshaw colliery site. The importance of these judgements is interpreted in the light of the uncertainty surrounding World Heritage status and is considered in the light of other recent cases (see also 93/1066).
