"Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, a UK and Ireland focussed exploration, development and production company notes the outcome of the Surrey County Council Planning and Regulatory Committee meeting on 18 October 2017 in connection with a conventional oil exploration well to test the Holmwood prospect at Bury Hill Wood, Coldharbour Lane, Surrey:

-- A planning application for a security fence for the drill site was approved by Surrey County Council ('SCC') at the Planning and Regulatory Committee meeting on 18 October 2017.

-- The Planning Committee elected to defer a decision on Condition 19 (Traffic Management Scheme) pending response to further requests for information from the Planning Committee.
