Planning Inspector allows Dart Energy's appeal
IGas Energy is pleased to announce that Dart Energy has won an appeal against a refusal by Wrexham County Borough Council to grant planning permission for a coal bed methane exploration well in Holt, near Wrexham.
The planning application was turned down at a meeting of the full Council in March 2014, despite a recommendation to approve it from the Council's own Planning Officer.
The Planning Inspectorate of Wales in a decision dated 8 October, has now overturned the Council's decision and allowed the appeal.
The planning permission granted is for a single coal bed methane exploration well, where a sample of the coals will be taken for laboratory analysis of the gas content.
