From Ruth Hayhurst's site .

Looks like another council is being obstructive and refusing planning on the basis of non-reasons .

This is just for drilling an exploratory borehole to 830m to obtain core samples with the assurance it would be P&A'd two months later .  Dart applied in June 2014 .

I'm not sure how much easier this will become after the election and once Digas/Cuadrilla have reference sites .

Looking on the bright side , although the economics of CBM can be excellent and capex is low , it could be considered an unnecessary risk to the main event - which is shale .
