"Landowners in the Sussex Downs National Park are mounting a "legal blockade" to block a potential fracking site. Solicitors for residents near Fernhurst, in West Sussex, have written to Celtique Energie and the Energy Secretary Ed Davey to explicitly deny permission to drill under their land . It comes after the government said it may alter trespass law to make drilling under property easier for companies. Plans to frack were vehemently opposed in Balcombe, also in Sussex, last year. Fracking is a method of extracting energy, such as shale gas, from rocks by forcing it out under high pressure."
