Any representations to the application may be submitted via the Energy
Consents Unit website at http://www.energyconsents.scot/Register.aspx or by
email to the Scottish Government, Energy Consents Unit mailbox at
representations@gov.scot or alternatively by post to the Scottish
Government, Energy Consents Unit, 4th Floor, 5 Atlantic Quay, 150
Broomielaw, Glasgow, G2 8LU, identifying the proposal and specifying the
grounds for representation.
Written or emailed representations should be dated, clearly stating the
name (in block capitals), full return email and postal address of those
making representations. Only representations sent by email to the address
stipulated will receive acknowledgement.
All representations should be received not later than 5th December 2016,
although Ministers may consider representations received after this date.
When initial comments from statutory consultees are received further public
notices will give advice on how this information may be viewed by members
of the public, and how representations may be made to Scottish Ministers.
During the consideration of the proposal, Scottish Ministers may formally
request further information to supplement the Environmental Statement and
this will also be advertised in such a manner.
As a result of a statutory objection from the relevant planning authority,
or where Scottish Ministers decide to exercise their discretion to do so,
Scottish Ministers can also cause a Public Local Inquiry (PLI) to be held.
Following receipt of all views and representations, Scottish Ministers will
determine the application for consent in two ways:
– Consent the proposal, with or without conditions attached; or
– Reject the proposal
