First Community Liaison Group Meeting and Site Visit
Published by FFBRA Balcombe on September 21, 2018
The first meeting of the Angus Community Liaison Group was held on Thursday 20th September at 7pm and closed at 9pm.
FFBRA raised the following points:
Concerns over traffic – the amount, the traffic management plan, school drop of and pick up avoidance, traffic entering from the South, traffic missing the site
Confirmation of start date of the works
Lessons learned from 2013
Who to report issues with noise to if they arise – the EA, WSCC or Angus?
Further questions submitted by our members have been sent directly to Angus to answer and will be published on our website when the answers have been received.
Angus expects to receive sign off from the Environment Agency and the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) within the next couple of days and will immediately start their 7 day flow test after that. When the flow test is complete, all the equipment will be removed from the site. Angus will need to have vacated the site by 10th March 2019 in line with their planning conditions, however, they expect their work to be completed within weeks.
Minutes from the meeting will be published by Balcombe Parish Council shortly.
Balcombe residents who had applied to be a community representative were first invited to a site visit at Lower Stumble
