Following the submission of the FEI Report, consultation responses from statutory consultees and stakeholders has necessitated the preparation of an FEI Update to provide clarification and additional information.

The application, EIA Report, FEI Report, and FEI Update materials are available to view and download on this website, and on the Scottish Government Energy Consents website. The materials discuss the proposed project in detail and provide an analysis and conclusions of the assessments undertaken.

Details of the public consultation process are provided in the Public Notice. Members of the public can make representations to the ECU not later than 05 April 2024.
