When to add your comment

You must add your comment in writing either within 21 days of the date of the neighbour notification or before the end of the newspaper advert period (where applicable). If comments are late or are only made on non-planning grounds, they will not be accepted.

Only the lead petitioner will receive any correspondence in relation to the application.

Comments about energy infrastructure applications

Energy infrastructure applications with references ending in S36 or S37 are consultations submitted to us by the Scottish Government Energy Consent Unit.

These applications are determined by the Scottish Ministers. The Energy Consents Unit (ECU) is responsible for administering any comments on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.
