Hilson, C. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4114-6471 (2015) Framing fracking: which frames are heard in English planning and environmental policy and practice? Journal of Environmental Law, 27 (2). pp. 177-202. ISSN 1464-374X doi: 10.1093/jel/equ036

Abstract/Summary

Fracking in England has been the subject of significant controversy and has sparked not only public protest but also an associated framing war with differing social constructions of the technology adopted by different sides. This article explores the frames and counter-frames which have been employed by both the anti-fracking movement and by government and the oil and gas industry. It then considers the way in which the English planning and regulatory permitting systems have provided space for these frames within the relevant machinery for public participation. The article thus enables one to see which frames have been allowed a voice and which have been excluded.
