IGas submits Tinker Lane shale gas application
Wed, 8 June 2016
IGas has confirmed it has applied for planning permission to drill for shale gas at Tinker Lane, in Bassetlaw, north Nottinghamshire. This is the company’s second application for shale gas exploration in the area. Later this summer, councillors are expected to decide on proposals for two wells at Springs Lane, Misson.
The Misson application does not include fracking and IGas has said the Tinker Lane application will not either. But the company has said it may apply later to hydraulically fracture at the sites in future.
