Loxley Planning Consent Meeting to be Rerun
UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to note that
following questions raised as to the lawfulness of the planning
committee meeting ("PCM") held on 29(th) June, during which the
Company's Loxley gas appraisal project was presented for
determination, Surrey County Council (SCC) have decided that the
Loxley Gas project should be redetermined at a future PCM. The
Company now expects the Loxley project to be redetermined by SCC in
the PCM scheduled on 17 September.
Following the 29 June meeting, in which the members voted by 6
to 5 against SCC's planning officer's recommendation to consent to
UKOG's Loxley application, the Company sent SCC a formal legal
letter of complaint outlining a series of procedural and other
legal issues that potentially affected the lawfulness of decisions
made during the meeting.
SCC also acknowledge that their Monitoring Officer received in
excess of 100 similar complaints alleging that there were
procedural irregularities that invalidated the result. Following
the PCM no formal determination notice was issued to the Company by
SCC, meaning the project remains officially undetermined.
The Company welcomes the chance to restate why the low-impact
Loxley project is of material local and national economic
importance, is fully compliant with Net Zero, and presents minimal
local business, local highway and environmental impacts. The
Environment Agency has already issued a permit covering all aspects
of the development.
We trust that the 17 September re-run will result in a decision
fully commensurate with the facts presented, natural law and fair
democratic process.
