Always a pleasure to read @mgrahamwood's comments regarding #UJO @UnionJackOilplc
Reading all comments over social media the consensus with the Biscathorpe appeal goes with 'approve' by everybody.
Here are Malcy's thoughts for today :
Union Jack Oil/Egdon
Egdon has advised that further to the announcement of 25 January 2022, it has submitted an appeal against the refusal of planning permission by Lincolnshire County Council for a side-track drilling operation, associated testing and long-term oil production at the Biscathorpe site, held under licence PEDL253.
Egdon is operator of PEDL253 and holds a 35.8% interest in the licence and Union Jack holds a 45% economic interest.
The appeal documentation was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate on 12 April 2022. The appeal will now be validated by PINS before an Inspector is appointed and a timetable is defined. The expectation is that the appeal will be decided under the written representations procedure, a process where PINS will consider written evidence from the appellant, the local planning authority and anyone else who has an interest in the appeal.
What can I say, surely if it were ever important to approve such an appeal it will be now, obviously with all the necessary health and safety concerns have been addressed if it is to be ok’d?
With the change in approach by the UK Government in recent weeks and the value attributed to domestically produced hydrocarbons to the UK economy provided all the HSE boxes are ticked then it would be strange not to approve the planning permission at Biscathorpe?
