The council has granted the extension. This win proves that stalling tactics will not stop us from getting the time we need to dig into these drilling plans. Keep your eyes on the local council website for the new consultation dates.

Major Minerals Application - Lodge Farm, Clapp Gate, Appleby, DN15 0DB, MIN/2016/810
We the undersigned respectfully request that North Lincolnshire Council extend the consultation period to ensure this ‘Major Mineral Application’ is given the consideration it deserves. Many parish councils will not have the chance to respond to this as they will not have met between the application going in and the consultation period ending, furthermore, some parish councils close over the summer and as such will miss their chance to respond.
Given the long term plans for this site we feel it is imperative that all parish councils are given the opportunity to exercise their duty of care towards their communities and have a full understanding of all the implications associated with this complicated petrochemical application.
We believe that the public have a right to know more about this application and how it will impact on them and their daily lives, it would appear that this is not a straightforward conventional oil well, but will require stimulation through means of Radial Drilling Proppant Squeeze and/or Acidification. We believe the public have a right to know more detailed information about the differences in production methods, armed with this knowledge they can then make their own informed decision whether to support the application or not.
We must also highlight that a second planning application on the same site ( North Lincolnshire Council PA/2016/808) has now gone live, given the vast amount of technical data involved we ask for an extension of the consultation period so residents and public servants have adequate time to read and understand the documents.
In addition, a third active consultation period is underway in relation to the site, this time by the Environment Agency. Egdon Resources have applied for changes to their waste permits. We do not believe that at this time residents and neighbouring communities fully understand the nature and impact this development will have, and ask for more time which will enable them digest and understand the documents.

We are approaching one hundred signatures and need to hit that mark immediately to show the council we mean business. Post this link to your Facebook page right now and text three friends to ask them to sign. Don't let this momentum stall when the local parish councils need our support the most.

It is imperative that the parish councils and the public are given plenty of time to consider these applications which are not straightforward in the sense that for oil to flow there will need to be 'stimulation' (and everything extra which that entails)
Please do not rush this permit through without proper scrutiny and opportunity for input. As an environmental scientist and daughter of a petroleum engineer, I believe I have a relatively informed opinion and would expect the right to respond to the application.
It is important to give people time to respond to complex technical applications such as these, and it would be entirely appropriate to extend the deadlines to allow due consideration for the new technology that is being proposed.
We need to consider this application very seriously, we and local planning officers/local councillors etc need an appropriate length of time to assess the impact of this application. risks to the environment with traffic, water and soil pollution, waste management etc etc
It is scandalous that our government thinks it can ride roughshod over local communities in this way. Just where has local democracy gone if local communities do not have time to properly assess the impact of such developments
I want to add my support to ban fracking !
I live 1 mile for Horsehill where acidization was performed earlier in 2016. I breathed the air whilst jogging past site and suffered medical issues for the following 1 - 2 months. I believe this process is severely detrimental to the environment and to human and animal health.

No credible planning decision can be made on the scant detail presented in this application. A fully informed and open consultation, with independent review and scrutiny must be made available for any informed decision to be made.
