BEIS seeking input on inclusion of fracking projects in NSIP regime.

Published On: July 29th, 2018Categories: News

The Government is consulting on the possible inclusion of shale gas production projects as part of the NSIP regime here.

They are particularly interested to hear from:

  • onshore oil and gas operators with an interest in developing shale gas production sites
  • anyone conducting research or providing advisory services relating to the exploration and development of shale gas resources
  • industry bodies, groups or individuals with an interest in the production of onshore shale gas
  • regulators dealing with the use, management and protection of onshore shale gas resources
  • planning authorities responsible for plan-making and decision taking in relation to planning applications for shale gas projects

Hare at Wilson Fearnall we are also seeking wider views in order that we can formulate a response ahead of the 25th October deadline.  Please get in touch if you would like to discuss or drop us a line.
