Water regulations and energy developments
Walker, Beverley
Water regulations and energy developments - Scottish Planning and Environmental Law (120) 20 April 2007, 37-38(2) .
Examines issues raised by the overlaps between different systems of regulations. Many activities requiring authorisation under the Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 also require planning permission. Warns against planning regulations being used beyond their remit due to a perceived shortcoming in other areas of regulation. Wind farm developers could be caught between two systems because of the need to obtain early authorisation under the Electricity Act while planning applications are at an early stage.
WATER ENVIRONMENT (CONTROLLED ACTIVITIES) (SCOTLAND) REGULATIONS 2005
ENVIRONMENT AND WATER SERVICES (SCOTLAND) ACT 2003
ENVIRONMENT AND WATER SERVICES (SCOTLAND) ACT 2003 (CONSEQUENTIAL PROVISIONS AND MODIFICATIONS) ORDER 2006
