The firm said the 18x12m platform will allow for a ‘safe position from which to observe work on the site and from which to conduct peaceful and lawful protest, if they wish’.

The site has been built on a farmer’s field anti-fracking protesters were last month banned from entering without permission.

However, Cuadrilla said the farmer has given permission for the viewing area, which a High Court judge last month refused to limit protesters to, ruling it could set a precedent restricting legitimate protest.
