Executive Summary
Energy UK is generally supportive of the measures proposed, including the new pre-application measures. However, too much emphasis is likely put on the role of pre-application measures to enhance the system, and there are areas which require further detail and information. We have concerns over the proposals to variate consents based on environmental and technological factors, as these are not sufficiently well defined at present. We very much support reform of the Electricity Act 1989 for a more efficient implementation of the planning system in Scotland for generation infrastructure, and look forward to engaging on future reforms to the planning system in Scotland.
