SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL PLANNING AND BUILDING STANDARDS COMMITTEE 6 MARCH 2017 APPLICATION FOR CONSENT UNDER SECTION 36 OF THE ELECTRICITY ACT 1989 ITEM: REFERENCE NUMBER: 14/00530/S36 OFFICER: Julie Hayward WARD: Hawick and Denholm PROPOSAL: Erection of 15 turbines 132 high to tip, access track, compound, permanent anemometer mast and 2 no borrow pits SITE: Land North, South, East and West of Birneyknowe Cottage Hawick APPLICANT: Banks Renewables AGENT: None 1.0 PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 To advise the Scottish Government of the response from Scottish Borders Council on the application by Banks Renewables to construct a 15 turbine wind farm on land north, south, east and west of Birneyknowe Cottage Hawick. 2.0 PROCEDURE 2.1 Scottish Borders Council (SBC) is a consultee as a ‘relevant planning authority’. 2.2 The views of SBC will be provided to the Energy Consents Unit at the Scottish Government (ECU), the body responsible for processing onshore Section 36 planning applications. In this instance, the application is required to be determined via Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 because the wind farm would have an output of more than 50MW. The ECU advertises the application and carries out consultation with other interested bodies. There is, therefore, no need for SBC to undertake a tandem process, although consultation has taken place with relevant specialists within the Council. 2.3 It should be noted that if permission is granted, the local authority (rather than the ECU) would become the relevant enforcement authority responsible for monitoring compliance with the terms of an approval and any conditions imposed thereon.
