A four-year-old company is to outline plans to the public next week on extracting billions of cubic feet of gas in a remote and sensitive part of the North York Moors.
Proposals to explore for gas near the edge of the North York Moors would not cause “significant harm” to the national park, the park’s authority agreed this morning.
About 1,400 formal objections have been submitted in a public consultation on the Europa Oil & Gas exploration plans near the North York Moors national park. At the time of writing, just seven responses to the consultation supported the company’s planning application.
