Egdon Resources plc said it would appeal against the refusal for a side-track drilling operation, associated testing and long-term oil production at Biscathorpe, Lincolnshire.
DECISION
In November 2021, Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) refused permission for the joint venture (JV) project on PEDL253.
In a statement today, operator Egdon said it had decided to appeal after reviewing the council’s decision notice, taking advice from the company’s planning and legal advisors and agreement with its JV partners.
Egdon added it was preparing documentation before submitting the appeal during Q1 2022.
The JV comprises Egdon (35.8%), Union Jack Oil plc (45%) and Montrose Industries Ltd (19.2%).
