Loxley High Court Update

 

UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: is pleased to announce that further to the
High Court's 20(th) July 2023 decision upholding the legality of the Loxley
conventional gas and hydrogen feedstock project's planning consent, the judge,
the Hon. Mrs Justice Steyn DBE, has refused Protect Dunsfold permission to
appeal the decision.

In refusing an appeal, Mrs Justice Steyn stated, "the proposed appeal has no
real prospect of success, and I am not persuaded there is any other compelling
reason to grant permission." She also ordered Waverley Borough Council, a
claimant under the prior action, to pay costs of £3,000 to UKOG.

This latest decision follows the  October 2022 ruling of Mrs Justice Lang,
who dismissed challenges by the same claimants and also ordered them to pay
costs.

Loxley planning consent continues to remain in full force and the Company's
plans to implement the project remain unchanged.

UKOG has consistently stated that Loxley can play its part in the government's
Hydrogen and British Energy Security Strategies via the supply of its gas as
feedstock for reformation into clean burning hydrogen. Loxley's hydrogen
potential forms part of the Company's move into the hydrogen space along with
its Dorset hydrogen storage and Hydrogen Battery project.
