Easy for the councillors to decline it because they know that eventually the SOS will approve and they can then say to their constituents that's its not their fault so please keep voting for me!! Always going to be the case - just pass the buck so they don't have to take responsibility.

The absurdity of all this is highlighted by this conundrum .. this website suggests that if you are unhappy with a council APPROVING a controversial application you can ask the Secretary of State directly to call it in .. hxxps://www.planninghelp.cpre.org.uk/planning-explained/planning-applications/call-ins/how-to-request-a-call-in-or-recovery

Well lets say North Lincs decides to approve the production application .. does anyone actually believe that the swampies would encourage the SoS to call it in ???

[currypasty] 01/8/2018 16:03

We intend to appeal this decision without delay and will begin preparing documentation on receipt of the Committee's decision notice."

[jusmasel99] 01/8/2018 15:58

Yes it could go back to the inspector eventually but pretty difficult for the inspector to refuse when he basically set out the conditions that needed to be met for his approval .. so begs the question why would North Lincs challenge such an appeal?

Logic and common sense surely must win the day but referring the matter to the SoS in the first instance may be the way forward (only after the production permission is heard)

As the vote was lost unanimously, there's a hurdle to climb before Wressle gets approved.

[jusmasel99] 01/8/2018 15:44

Well at least the councillors are aware that a new application for production has been submitted - easy to vote against today given that it has absolutely no effect on the outcome.

[currypasty] 01/8/2018 15:43

appeal will be first plan, which means they don't have to do anything till heard

Planning Refused

[itsriskythat] 01/8/2018 15:42

As it has been refused, the best course of action is to take cover with Egdon, Europa and Union Jack until Egdon come forward with a response and their plan going forward. Hopefully soon.

[jusmasel99] 01/8/2018 15:38

If it has not been already - it is going to be refused - nutters ... hope Egdon announce immediate appeal straight to SoS

live updates on drillordrop now

just started hearing edr

[bountyhunter] 01/8/2018 15:04

signs good judging by share price recovery?

[jusmasel99] 01/8/2018 14:20

Yes - voted on immediately ...

[currypasty] 01/8/2018 14:20

I would think so

[bountyhunter] 01/8/2018 14:13

and is a decision expected today?

[currypasty] 01/8/2018 14:10

The meeting has started, 'major applications' are in front of the rest. There seems quite a lot to get through, so I would guess they will rattle off all the applications quickly, or run out of time..

[bountyhunter] 01/8/2018 13:35

when are we likely to know the decision?

[currypasty] 01/8/2018 13:01

I think there must be a few panicking shareholder flogging a few before the meeting later..
In my honest opinion, this application should, if common sense prevails, be passed. If not surely it will just be appealed?

Dreams do come true ... from 2014 ,,,....hxxps://www.albertaoilmagazine.com/2014/01/light-crude-discovery-newfoundland/

"Comparable in size to the Jeanne d’Arc Basin – which has been tested by 155 exploration and 55 development wells – the Flemish Pass Basin has been explored by just 10 wells to date. The Statoil-operated leases span 8,500 square kilometers, or roughly 75 per cent of the Flemish Pass Basin. The remainder of the basin is open Crown land, a portion of which will be publicly auctioned in 2014 by the C-NLOBP. In 2004, the C-NLOPB released a Flemish Pass Basin hydrocarbon resource assessment, calculating that it contained 1.7 billion barrels (at 50 per cent probability) with expected field sizes ranging from 44 million to 528 million barrels.

“The key to successful exploration is the presence of source rocks, and I believe that these basins are on the ‘Jurassic Superhighway’ that extends from Nova Scotia to the Grand Banks and the Flemish Pass, and across the Atlantic to the Irish Sea and the Porcupine Basin,” Enachescu says. The former Husky geophysicist, who has 30 years of experience in offshore Newfoundland exploration, adds that these discoveries “shine a new light on the potential of the Southeast Orphan and the Carson basins.”

And now from last week ...
hxxps://www.ctvnews.ca/business/n-l-announces-agreement-to-develop-deepwater-bay-du-nord-oil-project-1.4028841

Only 10 wells and all this 500km offshore (helicopters have to travel half full) in Iceberg infested waters and over 1000m deep .. makes the Porcupine sound like the Maldives

[currypasty] 01/8/2018 09:08

anyone going to the meeting

[aland1] 31/7/2018 17:29

I have just submitted my comments in favour of approval. Anyone interested in doing so has until the 16th August to do so. The more we can get to do this the better chance we have of gaining approval. You know you want to guys, as doing anything other than this could seriously damage your wealth! GL all. 👍

planners said the facilities and infrastructure currently on the site were not “highly intrusive” and did not have a “significantly detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area”.

They concluded:


“Given the relatively modest duration of the proposed extension to the restoration period, the lack of demonstrable environmental harm as a result of this extension and the financial implications of potentially abortive work should the extension be denied, it is considered that, in this instance, there are material considerations which outweigh the identified policy conflicts.”
