grevan,
Whether you use the original planning application date of 20/12/18 or use the end date for public consultation of 18/02/19 the proposed meeting, which will most probably be subject to cancellation, both fall out side of the statutory time scale of 13 weeks by the 18/06[?] by quite a wide margin.
Granting a production licence for HH, even before the latest green demonstrations, was never going to be a vote winner with the local population, not even with the lure of " filthy luca" and as I said before SCC are beholden to those that pay the council tax and even more beholden to those that voted them in and are bound to look at it in the light favouring the voters/tax payers..
As such it does not inspire confidence that SCC should see it the way of UKOG or, indeed, central government.
They will drag this out for the longest possible time in order that, when going round the doorsteps at election time they can say that they did their damndest to thwart the extraction of crude oil, no matter that it should and probably would have little or no effect on the life style of those protesting its extraction in the first place.
