Response to Supplementary Minerals Guidance on Fife Council’s Local Development Plan

Our consultation response to the Fife Council Local Development Plan.

We describe how there is a growing body of evidence that environmental and health risks associated with onshore unconventional gas extraction, including coalbed methane, are inherent and impossible to eliminate. Therefore we recommend that the Fife Council take this opportunity to ban unconventional gas through its Local Development Plan and barring that to implement a moratorium.
