I am deeply concerned that there is no separate and detailed section on so called fracking as implications on the county and local communities are immense.Given our experiences in Misson and the complete contempt shown by IGas the community by naming our group in an injunction, we are reliant on clear processes that should be included as part of this plan.

As the county council you have a duty of care to both current residents and to protect the landscape and environment. I would urge you to take this on board and publish a more detailed plan which gives clear guidance on approaches to industrialisation of the countryside , impact on traffic management, groundwater controls and contamination as well as potential issues with horizontal drilling.
