Allow UKOG PLC to produce oil and gas from weald basin licences
The local planning authorities seem to be influenced by vocal minorities who scaremonger people inducing delays and unnecessary objections to very scientific and detailed applications made by UKOG. Planning decisions which affect the nation should perhaps be taken by the central government.
The government has emphasized the importance of sustainable onshore oil and gas exploration, appraisal and production in the national planning policy framework given the benefits of reducing imports, creating jobs, community benefits and sustainable transition away from coal to cleaner energy. Mineral resources of the country are for the benefit of all and control of these resources by local authorities and residents influenced by vocal unscientific minorities disregards the greater good for the majority.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.
Local planning decisions are a matter for local authorities. You could start a petition seeking to remove all similar planning decisions to the Government, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
