Horse Hill production consent upheld by Court of Appeal

 

Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: ALBA) notes the announcement today by UK Oil & Gas Plc ("UKOG"), as majority shareholder of Horse Hill Developments Limited (the Operator of the Horse Hill Oil Project in the Weald Basin in southern England), that the long-running appeal by Finch et al to overturn the December 2020 Judicial Review judgment upholding the legality of Horse Hill's planning consent, has been refused by the Court of Appeal.

UKOG reports that this judgment means that the planning consent for Horse Hill oil production was granted entirely lawfully and, as such, confirms that Horse Hill can remain operational until the end of its commercial field life.

A copy of the judgment will be made available at  https://www.ukogplc.com   .
