Other Permit Submitted

Marine Scotland’s online project page for the Hywind Scotland Pilot Park shows that a detailed set of application materials was submitted under reference 06294/17/0 for a marine licence associated with the installation of rock, described as “Additional Deposits.” The listings include separate entries for “Hywind Scotland Pilot Park - 06294/17/0 - Additional Deposits,” “Method Statement,” and “Map,” all recorded as applications within the renewables-wind category and dated 16 December 2016, indicating a cohesive submission package for an activity‑specific marine licence rather than a project‑wide consent. These document titles collectively point to a regulated marine activity focused on rock installation at the Peterhead, Aberdeenshire offshore site.[1] Within the same reference sequence, the Marine Scotland page also lists “Hywind Scotland Pilot Park - 06294/17/0 - Marine Licence Application” as an application entry tied to the renewables-wind project, alongside consultee responses and, later, a granted “Marine Licence” for the same code. Together, this structure reflects the standard Marine Scotland process: initial submission of a marine licence application, supporting technical documents (method statement and maps), and associated consultation paperwork, followed by formal determination. For Hywind Scotland, the cluster of dated application documents on 16 December 2016 therefore marks the point at which the developer submitted an activity‑specific marine licence application to authorise the installation of rock/additional deposits at the project site. This submission represents a key regulatory step in enabling the permitted offshore construction and seabed intervention activities required for the Hywind Scotland Pilot Park, while remaining distinct from the broader project-level marine licence and EIA consents recorded elsewhere on the Marine Scotland portal.[1]
