Local Map

 Hundreds of area specific Petroleum Exploration and Development Licences (PEDL’s) have been granted in the UK to Energy Companies, giving them the rights to extract hydrocarbons including CBM, UCG and shale gas.
Before any companies can explore and/extract they have to gain Planning Permission from your local authority.
