Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings), the AIM quoted West Africa, UK and Ireland focused oil and gas exploration, development and production company announces, further to its announcement of 18 May 2026 notifying the market that the Local Planning Authority ('LPA') of North Yorkshire Council ('NYC') had issued its decision to refuse planning permission for the Cloughton gas appraisal well, that Europa is appealing to the Secretary of State against the decision of the NYC.
The Company highlights that the refusal of the planning permission by the LPA went against 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.
Europa will update shareholders on the outcome of the appeal in due course.
