This claim needs to be clarified. I have just discovered that the reason INEOS has no licence for the area around the M1 is unlikely to have anything to do with the presence of the motorway. It arises from the fact that the Duke of Devonshire holds historical rights in that area for the extraction of oil. Perhaps these rights are now being interpreted to mean that the Duke's rights extend to him having the licence to seek to search for shale gas in that area. It is interesting that the legislation which took away people's rights to block fracking operations under their homes, did not apply to the Duke of Devonshire's rights in the area which includes the Heath Junction. This leaves the question of what the Duke of Devonshire will do in this area. (a) Will he do nothing, thus protecting the area from fracking, (b) Will he seek to set up his own programme of fracking for the area, or (c) will he strike a deal with INEOS to let them undertake fracking in "his" territory ?Harry Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600933854461096745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31588679.post-76918726495202819042016-09-14T18:42:46.223+01:002016-09-14T18:42:46.223+01:00Liz : It is a big day for us tomorrow in Dronfield...Liz : It is a big day for us tomorrow in Dronfield with Environment and other Agencies holding the drop-in session shown above.
