Surrey County Council has confirmed that Angus would need to apply for planning permission to put the plan into action.
The local county councillor, Helyn Clack, shared a letter from Surrey’s head of planning services. This said:
“planning permission was granted in 2007 (MO06/1294) for the continued use of the Brockham wellsite for the production, treatment and export of crude oil until 31 December 2036, which included the facility to reinject water separated from the production including rainwater into the reservoir rock. There is no planning permission for the importation of any separated/discarded water from other well sites. I have informed/reminded Angus Energy of this fact. If Angus Energy want to import separated waters from other well sites, they would need planning permission.”
