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