Plans for what could be the world's largest potash mine have cleared their first planning hurdle. The mineral produced there will be used to make fertilizer. But the huge site will be on the North York Moors. The plans have been approved by the local council, but will now go before the Moors authority. If approved the mine will create up to a thousand jobs in an economically deprived area. But many say it will ruin an area of outstanding beauty.
