Thanks
All Planning Committees have detailed terms of reference specifically restricted to the Council concerned. So all the letters of support from UKOG shareholders which mention the National Interest for oil production' just go straight into the 'irrelevant' waste bin which is where UKOG's application will end up if you are not careful.
Typical terms of reference;
To exercise the powers and duties of the council, within the corporate policies and strategies of the council, in relation to:
⢠Its role as planning authority in its development control and planning functions, and
⢠The extraction of minerals, the clearance and reclamation of derelict land, subsequent after use of sites for waste disposal and restoration of site

While I'm glad that there is a informed debate going on the IOW hopefully considering the pro's & come.
It is important for all including the councillors to remember that they do not only have a responsibility to islanders as seems to have been the case with Surrey councilors today.
They have a responsibility to the UK government & all it's people as the UK people have worked & supported all counties including the IOW to make Britain great.
If the IOW wishes to become a totally independent state with no support or funding from the UK that is maybe a matter that should also be considered as they would then be reliant on having to raise money for all there services .
Maybe Surrey residents would not mind paying a lot more tax to fund the county either.

I looked at todayâs contributions to IoW planners from all over UK. I donât think IoW planners will pay much attention to these letters of support most of which say UKOG are good guys, UK needs oil and drilling will bring better health, increased wealth and, no doubt happiness to the island. In short, it doesnât enhance UKOGâs reputation and serves to polarise opinion.
One of the reasons for todayâs planning disaster in Surrey came down to politics, because UKOGâs management had not ârolled the pitchâ adequately despite their long association with the county. Councillors take their constituentsâ views into account when reviewing the technical aspects of any proposal which is something planning officials cannot do.
If you look at IoWâs local press, there is a vigorous and well-informed debate going on regarding proâs and conâs of UKOGâs proposals. I cannot find anything in the press over there from UKOG itself so I suggest shareholders contribute. Example; https://www.countypress.co.uk/news/18499804.wight-black-gold-adds-value-island-economy/ - see especially comments on the letter.
This is really Matt Cartwrightâs responsibility since he transferred to UKOG as part of the Northern Petroleum deal of which IoW was a part. Heâs supposed to be Chief Operating Officer and get sites permitted well in advance of drilling.
A little shareholder support for UKOG's plans for the IOW would go a long way.
There was only 22% support for Dunsfold from the responses to the public consultations.
Every shareholder can support the UKOG planning application for the IOW by clicking the link & writing there support.

I will keep posting so keep supporting.
Now you can see why UKOG will need as much support as possible for it's IOW application so get your comments in to the IOW council to support there IOW application.
I will keep posting it the more that comment the better.

Wizard125. You are doing a good job.
Here's what I have sumitted to the Case Officer this morning:
'Dear Mr Chick. I am not a redident of the IOW. But I am a resident of UK. As such I am/will be affected by the economic effects of both the Coronavirus pandemic and Brexit. Our country needs all the financial benefits it can muster over the coming years to facilitate the swiftest economic recovery available and to bolster its stable independence whilst plotting our journey outside of Europe.
Sadly, in some respects, oil will be needed for the near future for all manner of staple products that each of us depend upon during our day-to-day lives. The tax from the production of oil will provide benefits, large or small, to our national coffers.
The operations involved in the production of oil, however, should not negatively impact any region's environmental condition nor the well-being of its local people. I am pleased to support UKOG's application here based on its history of responsible and sensitive procedures in previous similar situations and trust that all measures in this regard will be taken to ensure the safeguard of all standards.
I hope that both UKOG and your council manage, in concert, to effect a satisfactory conclusion for all concerned.
I may not live long enough to enjoy the fruits of the benefits I mention above. But our grandchildren will.'
There are gas pipes to the mainland, not sure about crude oil pipes
In the hands of SCC now BUT even if approved the MMS could just drop the sp like they are already!!!! 0.35/0.37
I do think however the SCC may try their delaying tactics again.
I do think however the SCC may try there delaying tactics again.
About a third of the distance from the IOW to the refinery compared to horse hill, must save a load of diesel, excluding the ferry but that's running anyway carrying passengers and cars, lot safer then all that time and distance on the road.
there's also an old RWE facility at Cowes with Chiksan arms. Small ships but certainly big enough to run back and forth across the solent
I did quite a bit of research on the IOW transport.
Petrol goes on the explosives cargo overnight ferry.
Diesel goes over On the regular 08:00 ferry
There is a barge goes up the Medina to IOW fuels who have an oil terminal.
Itâs quit a small barge because it has to go over the Cowes chain ferry cables.
It would be quite feasible to hire an oil storage vessel and hire a small oil barge if the quantities were sufficient , it is then under an Hour to ferry a load to Hamble terminal which has a jetty.
Equally they could just use the ferry, Very much doubt the crude oil will have the flashpoint to justify going on the overnight ferry

Well that is the IoW clarified , no issues to worry about .
Next !!!
OMG, If you read some of the negative views its a wonder the wheel was ever invented!
Get a grip will you. UKOG will find a way, and both the island, UK and investors will benefit.

Why are they using ferries?
Or are they waiting for a particular reason?
there are already pipes to the mainland
Benkelly2010
There are a few gas pipelines already. No need for ferries is IoW field is as big as CPR claims
See video;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwbcxq6Hw2A
Need a pipe line to the mainland i don't see it happening
I wouldn't worry too much about use of the ferry. Red Funnel don't. Usual suspects talking about fishing for carp.
Dangerous Goods
We have considerable experience in handling and shipping dangerous cargoes that are permitted on Passenger Vehicle Ferries.
We can legally transport by sea classes 1-9, subject to restrictions, and offer freight-only sailings for prohibited substances such as bulk petrol and propane.
Staff are experienced with the Regulations applying to the movement of dangerous goods by sea and fully qualified DGSA's are employed.
The ferry terminals are spacious with dedicated hard-standing for hazardous loads.
To ship dangerous goods by sea we need the following information 24hrs prior to shipment, as this needs to be declared to the Harbour Authorities and cleared for shipment.
UN Number
Class of Goods
Net Weight
Gross Weight
Type of Packaging + Packaging Group
Proper Shipping Name
Flashpoint (if applicable)
To comply with The Merchant Shipping (Dangerous Goods And Marine Pollutants) Regulations 1990, Dangerous, Toxic and/or Hazardous Loads must be declared at the time of booking and on Consignment Notes completed at check-in.
A Dangerous Goods Declaration Note must also be Completed Prior to Shipment.
I have shares in UKOG but not exactly delighted to hear of random plans to transport oil on lorries via ferry, itâs not exactly an efficient process, from either an environmental or financial perspective. There must be a better way. Lots of negative talk about people worried on the environment side, but it is actually a thing and the IOW is a relatively fragile scenario, itâs a small place and not just there to be pillaged without consideration for the impact of a drilling operation. Hopefully there is an answer to achieving planning/operations success without the concerns and lives of IOW residents being completely ignored.
opening the spread too, to put of buyers!!
There are 8 ferries a day too and from the IOW.
My support now added.
Interested to see the locals resorting to having their young families registering and adding support. I'm not sure if there is such a thing as an age limit or multiple objections allowed from a single household but a bit of detective work has revealed to me at least 3 objections from the same address two of which are from a 15 year old and a 13 year old.
