According to Nottinghamshire County Council, Island Gas Limited (IGas) has submitted an application to it seeking planning permission to install monitoring boreholes on land off Springs Road, to the north-east of Misson in Bassetlaw, which is close to the Nottinghamshire, Doncaster and North Lincolnshire local government boundary.
The proposed development would involve drilling of up to 12 boreholes across four locations, to monitor groundwater, the council said.
According to the council, the boreholes "would be monitored for a period of at least 12 months, and may be required for a longer period depending on the outcome of any future exploratory drilling application".
Sally Gill, planning manager at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: "The Infrastructure Act 2015 includes a requirement for the level of methane in groundwater to be monitored for a period of 12 months before any associated hydraulic fracturing – which would require a separate planning application - can begin.
"The proposed development would assist IGas in collecting the necessary monitoring information".
