James,
Thank you for the link. This response list is substantially lower than of Brockham. With that in mind it does indeed look as though bad blood has been spilt on all things AAAG.
Responses seem okay to me:
"The submitted application to vary an existing permit relates to a prior approval application approved 11 June 2020 reference N/158/00504/20 (LCC PL/0052/20) to construct a gas processing plant and planning application approved 7 August 2020 reference N/180/00971/20 (LCC PL/0060/20) to install and operate a gas pipeline connecting Saltfleetby to the National Grid at Theddlethorpe.
No significant variation to the approved variation has been identified and as a consequence Lincolnshire County Council Mineral Planning Authority do not wish to comment further."
"I support this application, this is good opportunity for the UK to produce its own gas rather than importing gas, thus helping to improve GDP and it will provide additional employment in the local area ."
"The proposed variation to the permit reflect the planning permissions and permitted development previously obtained by Angus Energy."
"Pvs ngdu
Vvdd kkl hits" Clearly some dubious one to simple add to the numbers?
"I live on Redacted text Saltfleetby and want to know where any traffic to and from the site will be travelling. I don’t want lorries coming down our road causing noise and pollution. It’s a quiet lane, very narrow and only fir for cars. I look forward to your reply."
"Again local residents are not being consulted. We object to noise, traffic, light pollution. What about safety. Our water is bore hole. Things affect it.
Why are we not informed?
We where told this process would take a few weeks. Now a variation to long term. Information please!"
"Angus Weald Basin No.3 Ltd. Saltfleetby gas field development
Angus Energy plc, through its operating subsidiary Angus Weald Basin No.3 Limited, was granted planning permission by Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) in July for the development of the gas well and plant at Saltfleetby, including a sidetrack.
The application by Angus for planning permission, submitted to LCC in April, where it discussed the sidetrack, included a well test and clean-up, which it suggested would take two weeks, with an interval of two-three weeks between completion of drilling and the start of well testing.
Presumably the planning consent was granted on the basis that this well test would be done.
Last Thursday, 29 September, the company asserted in its investor Q&A session (printed on its website under “Media”) that they were no longer planning to conduct a well test/clean-up. This was to save time.
I am writing to you, therefore, to ask whether there are any safety or other issues involved in Angus’s decision, and if so, whether Angus have cleared the changes with yourselves and with the other relevant regulatory authorities. I would be less concerned if Shell or another major oil/gas were the operator here. Angus,
