Loxley appeal public inquiry scheduled for July 2021
UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce
that its appeal against Surrey County Council's ("SCC") refusal of
planning consent for the Loxley gas project will now be heard at a
public inquiry to commence on Tuesday 27(th) July 2021.
The Planning Inspectorate's formal appeal process has an
effective start date of March 1(st) and culminates with the public
inquiry, scheduled for up to nine days. Based upon the earlier than
expected inquiry date and the inspectorate's average post-inquiry
decision timescales, the inspector's ruling is likely to be issued
in autumn 2021.
Counsel continues to advise that there are strong grounds to
expect a positive appeal outcome as SCC's cited grounds for refusal
are in direct conflict with the advice of its professional Planning
and Highway Officers and their respective recommendations for
approval
As per the Company's release of 9th February 2020, UKOG's wholly
owned Loxley project, located in licence PEDL234, centres upon
appraising the second largest undeveloped gas accumulation
discovered and flow tested in the UK onshore. If successful, the
Company plans to use the gas as a feedstock for reformulation into
clean burning hydrogen with the energy capacity to power around
200,000 homes per year.
