Preferred Options consultation document

Representation ID: 94129

Received: 13/10/2019

Respondent: Mr Robert Foster

Representation Summary:

Fracking is not sustainable, highly damaging environmentally and totally unnecessary when non carbon energy sources are being rapidly developed to eliminate fossil fuels. Investigatory drilling to evaluate viability of fracking should not be permitted. I am aware it is permitted by national policies but NCC should determine on the basis of environmental impact and adverse effect on sustainability that it should not form a permitted part of the Plan.
