[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nUK Oil & Gas PLC\n(\"UKOG\" or the \"Company\")\n \nLoxley High Court Update\n \nUK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: is pleased to announce that further to the High Court's 20th July 2023 decision upholding the legality of the Loxley conventional gas and hydrogen feedstock project's planning consent, the judge, the Hon. Mrs Justice Steyn DBE, has refused Protect Dunsfold permission to appeal the decision.\nIn refusing an appeal, Mrs Justice Steyn stated, \"the proposed appeal has no real prospect of success, and I am not persuaded there is any other compelling reason to grant permission.\" She also ordered Waverley Borough Council, a claimant under the prior action, to pay costs of £3,000 to UKOG.\nThis latest decision follows the October 2022 ruling of Mrs Justice Lang, who dismissed challenges by the same claimants and also ordered them to pay costs.\nLoxley planning consent continues to remain in full force and the Company's plans to implement the project remain unchanged.\nUKOG has consistently stated that Loxley can play its part in the government's Hydrogen and British Energy Security Strategies via the supply of its gas as feedstock for reformation into clean burning hydrogen. Loxley's hydrogen potential forms part of the Company's move into the hydrogen space along with its Dorset hydrogen storage and Hydrogen Battery project.\n \n \n\n\n\n For further information, please contact:\n\n\n\n UK Oil & Gas PLC\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n Stephen Sanderson / Allen D Howard\n \n\n\nTel: 01483 941493\n\n\n\n\n WH Ireland Ltd (Nominated Adviser and Broker)\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n James Joyce / Andrew de Andrade / James Bavister\n \n\n\nTel: 020 7220 1666\n \n\n\n\n\n Communications\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n Brian Alexander\n\n\nTel: 01483 941493\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nThis announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the UK version of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (\"MAR\").
