Thanks
I think the point about the rig, wedding & scenary issue stinks.
If there were concerns over these issues they could have been resolved by conditions.
We have just seen with the West Newton drill taking place at a time of the year when any temporary impact of the rig would be reduced to a minimum.
The transport issues are totally overplayed & as far as Ii am aware have nothing to substantiate them.
So I'm looking forward to a successful outcome from the planning inspector.
One issue that UKOG will have to consider is that it may have to seek a extension to the time it has to drill Loxley from the OGA as a result of the appeals process.
It would be a opertune time to raise the issues with them as the regulator the issues faced by licence holders when the national policy requirements are met under the licence the delays encountered by having to go through a polically sensitive planning committee.
Maybe it should suggest to the OGA that applications like this should be considered under delegated powers as they meet the national policies.
