Solo reported that the Environment Agency granted the necessary permits to Horse Hill Developments (HHDL), the operator of Horse Hill licences PEDL 137 and PEDL 246, to enable HHDL to carry out extended well tests, drill a side-track well from the existing Horse Hill-1 well (HH-1) and drill and test a new borehole at the HH-1 site.

As previously advised, a planning application in relation to these proposed activities was submitted to Surrey County Council (SCC).

We have been informed by HHDL that SCC has confirmed that the planning application is now scheduled to be determined at October's meeting of its planning committee.

Members of the planning committee completed a scheduled visit to the Horse Hill site yesterday, 7 September, in preparation for the October meeting.

Solo owns 10% of HHDL, which owns 65% of the Horse Hill Petroleum Licences containing the HH-1 oil discovery, and therefore a 6.5% interest in the licences, well and the discovery.
