Broughton Town Council

Wressle Well Site Public Enquiry

October 29, 2019

A public enquiry is to be help at The Hobbies Centre, Wesley Road, Scunthorpe, DN16 1SA and is scheduled for 6 days commencing at 10,00am on the 5th November 2019. The dates scheduled are the 5th-8th and 12th-13th November 2019.

Broughton Town Council continues to oppose this application, at its meeting on Monday 23rd July 2018 stated – “The Council strongly objects due to concerns about the potential hazard to drinking water in the future”

However, at a closed meeting of the North Lincolnshire Planning Committee on Wednesday 17th July 2019, a decision was made that has not been made public which effects this planning application – https://democracy.northlincs.gov.uk/meetings/planning-committee/planning-committee-2019-20/planning-committee-17-july-2019/

Following this meeting, Egdon resources state on their website –

“The Company has been advised that following a closed meeting held by North Lincolnshire Council (“NLC”) on 17 July 2019, a decision has been made that NLC will not be presenting evidence at the Public Inquiry and will withdraw its case in respect of this appeal subject to the agreement of acceptable planning conditions.” – http://www.egdon-resources.com/home/project-sites/wressle/
