Alun Cairns MP for the Vale of Glamorgan has expressed his dismay at the decision by the Planning Inspector to grant planning permission for the exploration for shale gas at a bore hole in Llandow.

The Vale of Glamorgan Council’s Planning Councillors had turned down the application for an exploratory bore hole to search for shale gas at the site in the Western Vale during 2011.  

The Vale MP, along with many residents, businesses and local campaigners had submitted their objections to the Planning Inspectorate as part of the Public Inquiry process.  Read more →

Vale MP Alun Cairns expressed his concern upon receiving confirmation that Coastal Oil & Gas, the company behind a controversial gas drilling scheme in Llandow is appealing the Vale Council’s rejection of its plans to the Welsh Government. 

Mr Cairns is keen for local residents and businesses to submit their representations and opinions with Welsh Government’s Planning Inspectorate by the 14th February 2012.
