Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 31978

Received: 28/09/2018

Respondent: Hazel Pickering

Representation Summary:

I object to exploratory drilling which may lead to full fracking on the following grounds:

* industrialisation of greenbelt land
* possibility of underground water source being contaminated
* pollution - from chemicals used in the drilling process and the fumes from increased hgv movements
* possible seismic occurrences
* use of huge amounts of water - allowed in drought conditions when the public is expected to conserve water.
* Ecology - vibration, lighting, noise will affect the habitats of local wildlife

Finally, the Govt should be moving away from the use of fossil fuel to renewable energy by 2020.
