Why is this important?
Consider this as a response to the current consultation on the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council Development Plan open until 14th September.
Issue Ref: DPS/248/03
The communities in Fermanagh fought hard for the inclusion of the following in Fermanagh Omagh District Council's Local Development Plan:
"The Council will not permit exploitation of unconventional hydrocarbon extraction until it is proved that there
would be no adverse effects on the environment or public health"
This has been changed to:
"The Council will not permit exploitation of unconventional hydrocarbon extraction until there is sufficient and
robust evidence on all associated impacts on the environment and human health."
Please revert to the original wording which protects the communities of Fermanagh and it's surrounds from fracking.
