The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) today (Tuesday) raises the alarm about Government proposals that would exclude smaller scale shale oil exploration from environmental regulation. A consultation by the Government, which closed yesterday, proposes the removal of its ability and responsibility to regulate smaller scale, but potentially hazardous, onshore oil exploration under the ‘Environmental Permitting Regulations’.

There was a massive response to our December survey, it clearly struck a chord with members and the wider public. We’d like to thank all those who responded and now invite your thoughts on the values and commitments you’ve highlighted to inform our developing Sussex Countryside Charter.

We want to send a strong message to people who have an influence on our futures and to strengthen partnerships, working together to protect and enrich the countryside.

Local councils struggling to meet government housing targets are caught in an impossible ‘catch 22’ under existing planning laws, warns CPRE Sussex.
