Cloughton Well - Planning Application Update

 

 

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the AIM quoted West Africa, UK and
Ireland focused oil and gas exploration, development and production company
announces, further to its announcement of 27 April 2026, that it has been
notified by North Yorkshire Council ("NYC") that the Local Planning Authority
("LPA") has now issued its decision to refuse planning permission for the
Cloughton gas appraisal well. This refusal is despite the recommendation made
by the NYC's own planning officers who, after rigorously analysing the
planning application and the 13 independent experts whose separate reports all
supported the application, advised the LPA to approve the application.

 

The Company is disappointed with the LPA's decision and strongly disagrees
with the basis of the refusal. Europa is now assessing its options with a view
to appealing the decision and is confident that on appeal the planning
permission will be approved.
