[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nPlanning Decision\n\nThe Directors of Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc confirm yesterday's decision\nof the Planning Committee of Surrey County Council to refuse planning\npermission for the UK onshore Holmwood-1 exploration well. \n\nThe combination of the very close voting result and the recommendation by the\nPlanning Officers to allow the drilling, following an exhaustive review of the\napplication, gives the Directors and partners sufficient justification to\nappeal this decision on the grounds that the decision to refuse was not made\npurely on the facts of the case.\n\nPaul Barrett said that, \"We believe the proposal submitted to the Council was\ntechnically strong, fully supported by the County's own Planning Officers and\nas such the refusal is thought likely to be overturned on appeal.\"\n\nHolmwood is situated in PEDL143, the owners of which are Europa Oil & Gas Ltd\n(Operator) (40%), with partners Egdon Resources (40%) and Warwick Energy\n(20%).\n\nFor further information, please contact:\n\nEuropa Oil & Gas Paul Barrett 01235 553266\n\nfinnCap Sarah Wharry 0207 220 0567\n ","length":1139,"tagName":"div"}]
