Protest: Notts County Council: A planning fraud
Wed 28th March, 2018 @ 08:30 - 10:00
The reason we are protesting is that Notts County Council has abandoned its responsibilities to the public in favour of helping the fracking gas industry.
Promises to keep people and the environment safe through the planning regime are being revealed as a con at the IGas exploratory shale gas drilling sites at Misson Springs and Tinker Lane (Blyth) in North Nottinghamshire.
Traffic management conditions were made to keep heavy vehicles out of the village, yet the traffic plan has not been enforced and is now being repeatedly violated.
Other conditions were put on IGas to protect a nearby ecologically sensitive area, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. These conditions have been dropped because IGas were behind schedule. Monitoring arrangements for noise which would disturb breeding owls and other species are effectively being left to the operator and it is impossible for independent observers to check their measurements.
Serious thought is now needed for a new type of planning regime as the existing one is failing.
