The locals have had letters and there are notices, village hall events.. and it’s online ...
They have participated in the planning consultation
Ps they do pay council tax as these are park homes

My webcast is fine, leave and rejoin

Those electric merc vans they are pushing on TV have fuel ranges of just 80-155 km
I could only just get to Gatwick... totally impractical at £53,000 PLUS VAT including green discount.

Have been to a planning inquiry and threatened by a barrister with cost against me as a participant with personal costs if I give false evidence!

Oh! It was a bit more than that ! £403,000 LOL,

North Lincolnshire Council has paid costs of £403,000 after losing an appeal on plans for oil production at Wressle, the site operator has confirmed.

The Wressle development, near S****horpe, was granted consent in January 2020 when a planning inspector overturned the council’s refusal and allowed Egdon’s application for costs.

Wrestle was awarded £44k I recall

What type of behaviour may give rise to a substantive award against a local planning authority?
Local planning authorities are at risk of an award of costs if they behave unreasonably with respect to the substance of the matter under appeal, for example, by unreasonably refusing or failing to determine planning applications, or by unreasonably defending appeals. Examples of this include:

preventing or delaying development which should clearly be permitted, having regard to its accordance with the development plan, national policy and any other material considerations.
failure to produce evidence to substantiate each reason for refusal on appeal
vague, generalised or inaccurate assertions about a proposal’s impact, which are unsupported by any objective analysis.
refusing planning permission on a planning ground capable of being dealt with by conditions risks an award of costs, where it is concluded that suitable conditions would enable the proposed development to go ahead
acting contrary to, or not following, well-established case law
persisting in objections to a scheme or elements of a scheme which the Secretary of State or an Inspector has previously indicated to be acceptable
not determining similar cases in a consistent manner
failing to grant a further planning permission for a scheme that is the subject of an extant or recently expired permission where there has been no material change in circumstances
refusing to approve reserved matters when the objections relate to issues that should already have been considered at the outline stage
imposing a condition that is not necessary, relevant to planning and to the development to be permitted, enforceable, precise and reasonable in all other respects, and thus does not comply with the guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework on planning conditions and obligations

Why do we have an award of costs?
Parties in planning appeals and other planning proceedings normally meet their own expenses. All parties are expected to behave reasonably to support an efficient and timely process, for example in providing all the required evidence and ensuring that timetables are met. Where a party has behaved unreasonably, and this has directly caused another party to incur unnecessary or wasted expense in the appeal process, they may be subject to an award of costs.

The aim of the costs regime is to:

encourage all those involved in the appeal process to behave in a reasonable way and follow good practice, both in terms of timeliness and in the presentation of full and detailed evidence to support their case
encourage local planning authorities to properly exercise their development management responsibilities, to rely only on reasons for refusal which stand up to scrutiny on the planning merits of the case, not to add to development costs through avoidable delay,
discourage unnecessary appeals by encouraging all parties to consider a revised planning application which meets reasonable local objections.

You can be awarded costs for unreasonable delay or behaviour

You can get compensation for out of time decisions

I will watch in a padded room and put my iPad behind a protective screen..
I hope I don’t upset my neighbours with my shouting!

Maybe they are going to duct tape the opposition

I would say that the officers report this time is very long and nails down every point that made by Penny Rivers..

You can never guarantee a planning decision ... anywhere ... ever

I have to say in any “normal “ council Loxley would have passed first time..
That was an extraordinary meeting, in an extraordinary council. Total shambles, mislead by Penny Rivers , who can decide that there will be flooding caused by the development because she sees a photo of a puddle in the field. She then mis hears “it’s 100m from my boundary” to mean 50 meters from a brides wedding” and to decide that the presence of chevron signs on a bend means that they were only to direct lorries. With no accident figures to support this....
I could go on....

A truly biased councillor who has been asked to remove tweets about UKOG

Dunsfold Loxley well is confirmed for next Friday.
RECOMMENDED: PERMIT
It explains them moving the date if the November meeting front 22nd to 27th and bumping the meeting back from October to Nov as they hope to have a decision from the high court , LOL

ANYWAY ... Officers report : https://mycouncil.surreycc.gov.uk/documents/g7523/Public%20reports%20pack%20Friday%2027-Nov-2020%2010.30%20Planning%20and%20Regulatory%20Committee.pdf?T=10

I still don’t get the downstream argument
1. These downstream use is regulated by developing legislation
2. Net zero accepts that some emissions will happen in farming and business
3. That the market will trade emissions for credits
4 how far downstream should you go,
5 this oil just replaces imported oil , it’s not new emissions
6 If UKOGS downstream has to be considered , what about the downstream of a shop, ie B&Q. All the stuff they sell, BBQs, fire pits garden chemicals ....
or just earning money? The more you earn the more you travel, buy, consume...
The downstream of a football stand is 25,000 traveling fans.

Why would it be 12 months ? The Heathrow hearing was heard in October...

The BBC used to put both sides of a story sometimes giving airtime to , quite frankly criminals. There was a court ruling they hang onto that said they didn’t need to do that .

Now the BBC has become an public funded ( by threat of jail) unelected political party ) and now think they can do what they want

Does any other industry get challenged on their down stream green house effects?

What about sun-seeker gin palaces?

Rolls Royce jet engine factory

Garden pizza ovens

BBQ makers?

Flame grilled chicken restaurants

So why single out one company?

Let’s ban spectators at sporting events unless they can walk there..
Opera. You can listen on the radio..
Weddings , walk in guests only.
University.... by bus, or you stay there 4 years ;-)

If it affects UKOG then let’s go right across the board

UKOG win both ways.. either surrey win and we can get in with producing , or the protestors win and we get all our development costs and some compo for future losses ..
That could be ... £millions x10, 20?
