Why your views matter

Why are we consulting?

This is your opportunity to let us know about any risks you believe the activity(ies) will have on:

• the water environment, including potential impacts to species and habitats 
• the interests of other users of the water environment, resulting from an aspect of the proposed activity(ies) that we regulate.

How we will manage responses

At the end of the consultation, we will publish all comments. You can tell us within the consultation if you do not want your comment published. If this is the case, we will publish a note saying that we received a response but have not made it publicly available.

We will write to everyone who responded to the consultation and provided contact details, outlining the feedback received, how it has been taken into account and our proposed decision. If you disagree with our decision, you will be given the opportunity to request that Scottish Ministers ‘call-in’ the application for their determination.

Scottish Minister may agree to call-in an application if: 

• the representation provides clear reason for the objection, supported by evidence;
• the objection relates to material considerations raised during determination of the application.

The full criteria for Ministerial consideration are listed on gov.scot.

The final decision will be published on this website along with the authorisation, if granted.

What happens next

After the consultation has closed, we’ll take account of all relevant comments or objections and decide whether to grant the authorisation.

Your comments or objections will be published unless you ask us not to, in which case we’ll publish a note saying that we received a response but have not made it publicly available.

Final decisions and issued documentation will be published here. If you have any queries, please contact registry@sepa.org.uk
