Third Energy is expected to submit its planning application to frack its well at Kirby Misperton in North Yorkshire this week. Campaigners against the plans have said they were very disappointed that the company was going ahead, despite local opposition.
Anti-fracking campaigners say the Ryedale area of North Yorkshire could see up to 950 fracking wells.
