UK Oil & Gas: Planning and Environment Summit 6th July 2016, Manchester Conference Centre An energy revolution is underway. The government have set out the vital role gas will play in the UK’s transition to a low-carbon and energy secure future. The 14th Onshore Oil and Gas Licensing Round will enable a significant amount of the UK’s shale gas prospects to be taken forward to be explored and tested safely. The process is not without controversy with concerns over environmental impacts and noise pollution resulting in legal appeals and public demonstrations. How can stakeholders work together to reach the best decisions for both local communities and national need? The British Geological Survey estimates that Bowland Shale in the North of England contains 1,300 trillion cubic feet of gas whilst in Southern England shale rocks hold 4.4bn barrels of oil. There is however vehement opposition to fracking in terms of the risks to the environment, the threat to the health of local communities, and disruption to the quality of life of local people. How can controversy be reduced and all stakeholders engaged? What actions can local authorities and charities take to best evaluate the economical benefits alongside the environmental impacts of operations?
