Fracking Applications to be Considered by Nottinghamshire County Council

Nottinghamshire County Council will resume considerations for two shale gas exploration sites at Misson, Bassetlaw at a council meeting on Tuesday 15^th November. Councillors delayed their decision on the application, the first for shale gas in the county, after a warning from a legal adviser to Friends of the Earth that approval could allow illegal actions to be carried out on the site.

A second Nottinghamshire IGas application, to drill a shale gas well at Tinker Lane, (A634) between Blyth and Barnby Moor, has been scheduled for discussion by the planning committee meeting on 20^th December 2016 or at a standalone meeting near this date.
