The results of the study will be reported
in an environmental statement which will support our application
for planning permission. The application awaits a decision from the Secretary of State on our preliminary submission for gas storage authorisation. Both the full environmental statement
and a non-technical summary will be published here on the project
website. Amongst other issues, the EIA will consider:
- The predicted visual impact of the above-ground developments
at Albury (well site), Furze Copse (gas processing facility)and
near West Horsley (above-ground tie-in to the gas grid). Photomontages
of predicted views of the completed development will be prepared.
- The impact of construction activities including traffic on
local roads and the potential for noise disturbance to local people
- Impact on natural resources, archaeology and protected species
- Operational impacts arising from noise and emissions to air
and water. Generally there will be few emissions during the operational
lifetime
- The safety of local people.
We would welcome any comments you may have on the issues that
need to be addressed by the EIA. Please use the feedback form on
our liaison page. |
