Oil drilling in Biscathorpe
19th November 2018The decision has been taken by the planning authority Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) granting a temporary permission to drill for oil. The Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service (LWCS) don't have the powers to stop this exploration but we raised our concerns as part of the planning process; the Government had previously issued a longstanding petroleum extraction licence that extends across the Lincolnshire Wolds for conventional drilling. Fracking is currently not permitted from within National Parks and AONBs. Issues relating to the site should be taken up with the Planning Authority LCC on 01522 782070.
