Other Permit Awarded

Marine Scotland’s online Marine Licence details for the Hywind Scotland Pilot Park show that a specific marine licence associated with the installation of rock at the project site was granted under reference 06294/17/0. The listing “Hywind Scotland Pilot Park - 06294/17/0 - Marine Licence” is categorised as a Licence for Renewables – Wind and carries the date 2017-07-14, indicating the point at which this activity-specific authorisation was formally issued. A related entry on the same page describes “06294 - Installation of Rock - Peterhead, Aberdeenshire” as a post-consent renewables activity, confirming that this licence concerns regulated rock installation works for the offshore wind pilot park located approximately 25 km off Peterhead, North East Scotland, just outside the 12 nm territorial water limit. The document group for reference 06294/17/0 also includes associated consultee responses, an additional deposits document, a method statement, a map, and a marine licence application, showing that the July 2017 licence award followed a structured application and determination process. By issuing this marine licence, Marine Scotland authorised the controlled deposition and installation of rock material at the Hywind Scotland Pilot Park as part of the broader licensable marine activities covering construction, installation, operation and maintenance. This permit formed one of the post-consent regulatory steps required to enable the specific seabed intervention works associated with the project’s development.
