Representations should be dated and should clearly state the name (in block capitals) and the full return email or postal address of those making representation. When additional information, which is substantive to the environmental statement, is received from the applicant or statutory consultee, 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 the Scottish Ministers. During the consideration of the proposal, the Scottish Ministers may formally request further information to supplement the environmental statement and this will also be publicised. As a result of a statutory objection from the relevant planning authority in relation to the deemed planning element (or where the Scottish Ministers decide to exercise their discretion to do so) the Scottish Ministers shall cause a Public Local Inquiry (PLI) to be held. Following receipt of all views and representations, the Scottish Ministers will determine the application for consent in one of two ways: • Consent the proposal, with or without conditions attached; or • Reject the proposal. Fair Processing Notice The Scottish Government’s Marine Scotland Licensing Operations Team (MS-LOT) determine applications for marine licences under the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010 and the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, and section 36 consents under The Electricity Act 1989 (as amended). During the consultation process any person having an interest in the outcome of the application may make representation to MS-LOT. The representation may contain personal information, for example a name or address. This representation will only be used for the purpose of determining an application and will be stored securely in the Scottish Government’s official corporate record. Representations will be shared with the applicant and/or agent acting on behalf of the applicant, any people or organisations that we consult in relation to the application, the Directorate of Planning and Environmental Appeals should the Scottish Ministers call a PLI and, where necessary, be published online, however personal information will be removed before sharing or publishing.
