With regard to hydrocarbons: inherent conflict between any form of extraction and SO3: minimise and mitigate impact on climate change, and national objective that planning supports transition to low-carbon economy. Now that coal has almost entirely been removed from electricity generation, any further development of oil or gas reserves is a increase in net contribution to climate change. Renewable forms of electricity generation are by now the largest growth area by far.
While on one hand the desire to treat all forms of oil or gas extraction equally makes sense on many levels, the document was presumably drafted before the recent seismic activity at Preston New Road. For shale gas, should there be a comment about such activity?
