Whether it will list any applications for wind farms that have been referred to the Ministry of Defence for approval.

Applications for consent undersection 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 are subject to consultation with interestedparties. In view of its wide-ranging safeguarding interests, the Ministry of Defenceis one of these bodies and is accordingly invited to comment on all applicationsreceived. Consultees, such as the Ministry of Defence do not approve applications,but have the opportunity to comment on them in light of their interests. These commentsare a material consideration in the determination of the application.
A list of all applications fors36 consent made since September 2001 is available on the energy web page (www.scotland.gov.uk/enterprise/energy). We do not holda central record of applications for wind farm developments under the local planningsystem, but these too are subject to consultation with the Ministry of Defence.
