Broadford Bridge Planning Update

UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) announces that its application to extend the planning consent at its Broadford Bridge (UKOG 100%) site, primarily to assess the viability of converting the site to harness geothermal heat and power, was today refused by West Sussex County Council.  Although the envisaged geothermal scheme is entirely peripheral to the Company's core petroleum and hydrogen storage activities and is of no current materiality, the Company will further consider its position and has  six months in which to lodge an appeal should it so decide.
