Environment Agency receives applications for Surrey oilfield permits

The Environment Agency has received 3 applications for environmental permits at the Holmwood oil and gas site, off Coldharbour Lane, Surrey.

The applications are for bespoke Environmental Permit and 2 Standard Rules Permits. They have been submitted by the site Europa Oil and Gas Ltd to begin exploration on-shore drilling for oil or gas at the site.

In deciding whether or not to issue the permits, the Environment Agency said it will take into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements.

An Environment Agency spokesperson said:

“An environmental permit sets out stringent conditions that a site must adhere to. We will not issue an environmental permit for a site if we consider that activities taking place will cause significant pollution to the environment or harm to human health.”
