New Planning Regulations

Posted on: August 18, 2011

The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 revoke Part II of the 1999 Regulations, changing the definition of “application for multi-stage consent” ; introducing a requirement for the reasons for negative screening decisions to be provided in writing when requested ; and clarifying the circumstances when a Scottish minister is required to make a screening direction.

The Regulations are also amended to include sites and installations that may store and capture carbon emissions (required by the Directive on the geological storage of CO2 (2009/31/EC)).
