[Fiware-lab-help] New rules require councils to hit tougher targets

[UK Onshore Oil & Gas Summit]

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 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 & 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?

New rules require councils to hit tougher targets for determining
applications or face government intervention and the risk of sanctions.
Councils must now determine at least 50 per cent of onshore oil and gas
applications within 13 weeks or 16 weeks if an Environmental Impact
Assessment is required.

Such planning decisions are technical and subject to overlapping regulatory
regimes based on planning, environmental and safety authorisations. 2016
will see a major acceleration in application activity, what do councils
need to have in place to ensure they can cope with demand and new decision
timescales?
