Minerals Local Plan Issues and Options consultation
Q24 Are you aware of any issues relating to hydrocarbon extraction that should be considered through the Minerals Local Plan review?
Representation ID: 30129
Received: 13/12/2017
Respondent: Oxton Parish Council
Oxton Parish Council has serious concerns about fracking in Nottinghamshire and believe it should not be carried out as the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. The main concerns are with the contamination of water and the difficulties of disposing of this contaminated water. Also that the process uses exceptionally large amounts of water which itself is a scarce resource. It is therefore questionable whether this process is sustainable.
Oxton Parish Council would like to make the following comments on the Minerals Local Plan as part of the Issues and Options consultation.
A high priority should be given to ensuring no extraction of any minerals is carried out in the Green Belt.
