IGas is pleased that the Planning Officer has recommended that Nottinghamshire County Council’s (“NCC”) Planning and Licensing Committee grant planning consent for the application to develop a hydrocarbon wellsite and drill up to two exploratory wells in Misson Springs, North Nottinghamshire. Within its application, and throughout NCC’s thorough assessment of it, including various stages of consultation, and through all the additional information provided, IGas has addressed the wide range of questions, concerns and comments raised by NCC, statutory consultees and others. This work is reflected in the Planning Officer’s Report together with the planning conditions proposed.
As part of its commitment to open and transparent communications IGas has undertaken extensive community engagement alongside this application including setting up a community liaison group which was convened in June 2014.
IGas businesses have been drilling wells and producing oil and gas safely and in an environmentally responsible manner for over 30 years and we will continue to uphold the highest standards in the future.
The Company will await the Councillors’ decision on this application on 5 October 2016.
