Cuadrilla has confirmed that it will not be returning 50% of the area of its exploration licence in Lancashire as had been expected when the first term expires at the end of this month.
In a statement, the company said the government had changed the requirements of the licence. As a result, it would be handing back only a small section of the licensed area.
Opponents of Cuadrilla’s plans said the new rules were to the detriment of residents and would deepen distrust and anger towards the government.
