Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Hydrocarbon extraction by hydraulic fracturing has been proved to be extremely damaging to the environment and has caused numerous health problems. Therefore I feel the draft policy is weighted unfairly in favour of 'fracking'. Only in exceptional circumstances should it be permitted to take place where it can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that it will cause no harm.
