Read the original article on bbc.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The BBC reports that Europa Oil & Gas has appealed North Yorkshire Council's refusal of a temporary gas exploration wellsite at Burniston, and that the local MP has vowed to keep fighting it. The company's claims about jobs, supply and expert backing are all attributed to the company, and the council's reasons for refusal are given. Nothing in the article misleads its reader.
“citing concerns about its impact on the landscape, tourism, nearby residents and the authority's climate objectives”
The article gives the council's stated reasons for refusal, including its climate objectives. The reader learns why the plan was rejected, not only that it was.
“Europa said its proposal complied with existing legislation and has previously argued the scheme could create jobs, support the local economy and help increase supplies of domestically produced gas”
The developer's case for the project is clearly attributed to the developer. The article does not adopt it in its own voice as settled fact.
“any move to extract gas commercially would require further approvals”
The article tells the reader exactly what a successful appeal would and would not allow. This stops readers overstating what is at stake in the appeal.
