Hutton Energy Exploratory Work Approved
Hutton Energy have recently been granted permission for exploratory drilling. I don't have full details, but a local group have organised a peaceful protest on 10th May 2015 at the site. Please meet at 1pm and show your support. You can find further details of the protest here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1425564024415449/

Oil Drilling in Radcliffe on Trent: Our Village Takes Yet Another Hit
Yesterday's Nottingham Post ran a story about the plans to conduct test drilling for oil at Radcliffe on Trent. We found about this accidentally when one of our community members alerted us. This is really frustrating yet again to find out about something that has the potential to have a huge impact impact upon our community. What is more worrying is that the planning documentation reveals that none of our local councillors raised any objections.
You can read the full story from the Post here: http://www.nottinghampost.com/Drilling-oil/story-25842888-detail/story.html
The planning documentation can be found here: http://www.newtonenergy.ca/investors/pdf/Newton-Energy-Harlequin-3-Planning-Statement-130615-Redacted.pdf
The deadline to comment on the application is 3rd February.
The information about how to do so can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ng12-2aw-hutton-energy-uk-limited-environmental-permit-application-advertisement/ng12-2aw-hutton-energy-uk-limited-environmental-permit-application-advertisement
At a quick glance of the documents, it is interesting to note that the predicted sound pollution would exceed legal and acceptable parameters at night time for those living on Saxondale Drive. I wonder if they are aware of this. Please do forward this onto anyone living currently living in Saxondale.
The planning document reveals maps and photographs of existing extraction sites. Pretty ugly stuff!
It seems like we are being hit from all sides in our community and we don't seem to find out about these things until it is too late.
Listen again to Andy Whittaker's show (12th Jan 2015) tune in from 1hr 6mins to hear Hutton Energy discuss their plans for petroleum extraction from the Radcliffe on Trent Harlequin 3 site. Listen again here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02fwvwr
