Details

This impact assessment assesses the impact of the government’s changes to secondary legislation to make the procedural requirements for oil and gas extraction less onerous. The government’s proposals are:

• to streamline the requirements to notify landowners of applications on their land
• to introduce a standard application form for onshore oil and gas developments.

Further the government has clarified how application fees for onshore oil and gas developments should be calculated by planning authorities.
