For the retention of the BRX4 well, the regularisation of the BRX4Z side-track, and the appraisal of BRX4Z using production plant and equipment within the existing site, for a temporary period of three years (part retrospective).
Additional documents: Minutes: Officers:
Caroline Smith, Planning Development Manager Stephen Jenkins, Deputy Planning Development Manager David Maxwell, Senior Planning Officer Saira Tamboo, Planning Lawyer
Speakers:
Mr McDonald, proxy for Mr Taylor MEP, a local resident, made representation in objection to the application. He made the following points:
- That there had been a series of minor earthquakes in the area and that more research was needed to find out the causes of this. - That the application should be deferred until there was an opportunity to monitor and review the potential damage. - That part of the application was retrospective. - That the application had negative effects on the environment. - That more information was needed on the economic benefits of the application. - That the increased Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) would cause issues on the narrow county lanes. - That it was unclear why the application required a temporary period of three years.
Ms Zalucka, a local resident, made representation in objection to the application. She made the following points:
- That the County Planning Authority should work in cooperation with other regulators to consider issues related to the application. - That the oil works make the area less desirable to live in. - That Angus Energy previously started works on the side-track without the County Planning Authority’s permission and should be punished for breaking the rules. - That the Brockham Wellsite operated under an outdated environmental permit and so the application should be deferred until a new permit is in place. Alternatively, conditions should be put in place to prevent appraisal works until a new permit is in place and to limit the appraisal phase to no more than six months.
Ms Smith, a local resident, made representations in objection to the application. She made the following points:
- That the application was vague and lacked detail. - That Angus Energy drilled the side track without permission which was an intentional breach of planning. - Provided examples of when Angus Energy had breached planning conditions and had worked outside the agreed work-hours. - That more information was needed on Angus Energy’s intentions as one could argue that this was a commercially non-productive well. - That the application was not clear on how large quantities of fresh water would be transported to the site. - That the various proposals in the application were vague and needed more detail. - Asked that the application be rejected.
Mr Tucker, proxy for Mrs Elcoate, a local resident, made representation in objection to the application. He made the following points:
- Referred to the work of a professor working at the University of Edinburgh who had suggested that the recent earthquake activity was a result of the hydrocarbon exploration. - That all activity should be paused whilst a full scientific analysis was undertaken. - That there was evidence that earthquakes could damage the integrity of wells. - Stated various concerns relating to the relationship between the wellsite works and seismic activity in the area. - Asked ... view the full minutes text for item 26/18 |
