High Court upholds Loxley planning consent
UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce that by order of the Honourable Mrs Justice Lang DBE, the High Court has rejected legal challenges by Protect Dunsfold and Waverley Borough Council against the Secretary of State's decision to grant planning permission for Loxley, the conventional gas and hydrogen feedstock project in Surrey. Loxley planning consent therefore remains in full force and the Company's plans to implement the project remain unchanged.
Mrs Justice Lang considered both challenges as " unarguable" and ordered Waverley and Protect Dunsfold to pay costs of GBP8,835 and GBP3,000 respectively.
This follows the decision in June of this year by the Right Hon Stuart Andrew MP, Minister for Housing acting for the Secretary of State ("SoS") for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, to overturn Surrey County Council's ("SCC") refusal of planning consent.
