RECOMMENDATION: No objections be raised.
Summary
This is an application to Surrey County Council as the minerals authority and this Council is
invited to comment as a statutory consultee. The application seeks planning permission for
three principal activities, namely the retention of the BRX4 wellhead, the sidetracking of
BRX4 to produce BRX4Z and the appraisal of BRX4Z for a temporary period of up to three
years. The application is, in part, retrospective and relates to the exploration and appraisal
phases of hydrocarbon extraction.
The site has been present as a feature in the local landscape since the late 1980s, and is
surrounded by agricultural land on all sides. It is located over 500m from the nearest
residential property and is well-screened in the landscape by a combination of topography,
existing hedgerows, trees and bunds along its northern and eastern boundaries. It does not therefore represent a prominent feature within in the landscape.
Members are asked to support a recommendation that raises no objections to the proposals for the site which will enable the current activities to continue.
