On 15 January 2026, Marine Scotland listed a document titled “Public Notice - Further Additional Information - Muir Mhor Offshore Wind Farm - 00011025/00011026” on its marine licensing portal for the Muir Mhòr Offshore Wind Farm project. The entry appears under the project’s applications and supporting documentation, categorised as an application for a renewables – wind project. The title and context indicate that Marine Scotland issued a formal public notice relating to further additional information submitted for the offshore wind farm, specifically linked to the generating station and transmission marine licence applications referenced by numbers 00011025 and 00011026. The timing of the public notice follows a sequence of application materials for Muir Mhòr: the original marine licence applications for construction and operation of the generating station and transmission works, as well as the Section 36 consent application and Environmental Impact Assessment Report, were submitted in early December 2024. Additional Information – Supplementary Information for the project was then submitted on 7 October 2025, followed by an “Environmental Impact Assessment Report – Further Additional Information – Muir Mhor Offshore Wind Farm – 00011025/00011026” dated 14 January 2026. The public notice on 15 January 2026 therefore signals that Marine Scotland moved to formally notify stakeholders and the wider public about this further additional information. This step marks a further stage in the statutory consultation process for the Muir Mhòr Offshore Wind Farm as Marine Scotland considers the expanded information set associated with the licence and consent applications. The listing of the public notice alongside subsequent consultation response documents suggests a structured process in which interested parties are invited to review and comment on the updated material before Marine Scotland progresses its assessment and eventual decisions on the marine licences and associated consents for the project.
