How to Oppose Egdon's Gas Drilling Plans by Helping to Draw a Line in the Chalk

The best way to do this is to submit an objection response.

It does not have to be a lengthy ‘academic’ response. Just one that states your concerns.

The things which the Planning Committee will consider are Material Considerations (valid points):

  • Impact on traffic & highway safety

  • Impact on noise, light, air quality or smell pollution

  • Impact on water quality

  • Impact on local services & infrastructure

  • Heritage, ecology & conservation impact

  • Flood risk

  • Compliance with planning policy

​

You can choose to make reference to all, or whichever you are most concerned about.

You can list these or explain your case.

​

How to Submit an Objection:

Online:

Email: planning.control@northyorks.gov.uk

 

You can either type an e mail response, in support or objecting, or attach a word document or pdf, of a pre-prepared response.

 

Ask to ensure your response is posted on the Online Planning register for application: NY/2025/0113/FUL

If you need help with this contact us by e mail at: info@lineinthechalk.uk

Remember:

  • You can submit more than one objection

  • If more than one adult lives in your household, you should all submit

  • Ask your friends, family, work colleagues etc. to do so as well!

  • Anyone can submit an objection from anywhere in the world

​

The number of objections may not be decisive in themselves, but they clearly indicate to Councillors, the levels of community concerns.

 

Thanks for your support!
