Wind Prospect Developments 2 Ltd (company registration number 06892032, registered office at 7 Hill Street, Bristol BS1 5PU), acting as agent for EDF Energy Renewables Limited (Company Number 06456689, registered office 40 Grosvenor Place, London, SW1X 7EN) has applied to the Scottish Ministers for consent to construct and operate a 7 turbine, 14 MW extension to Longpark Wind Farm near Stow in the Scottish Borders (Central Grid Reference NT 472 430) and for a direction under Section 57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 that planning permission for the development as proposed to be extended would be 52 MW comprising 26 turbines with a ground to blade tip height of 100-110 meters.

Notice is hereby given that Wind Prospect Developments 2 Ltd has now submitted to Scottish Ministers further information in the form of Further Environmental Information (FEI#2) comprising additional noise information and clarifications, a Unilateral Undertaking, additional landscape information and updated ecology information in respect of the Longpark Wind Farm Extension Environmental Statement Addendum.

On 26th August 2015 Further Environmental Information (FEI#1) was submitted to the Consents Unit. This provided additional noise information and clarifications. However, at that time, the consultation process was not fully completed for the purposes of the 2000 Regulations. The opportunity is now taken to re-advertise and republish this Further Environmental Information (FEI#1).

Copies of both Further Environmental Information documents (FEI#1 & FEI#2) are available for inspection, alongside the previously advertised Environmental Statement and Addendum, during normal office hours at:

• Stow Town Hall, Earlston Road, Stow, Galashiels, TD1 2QS

• Melrose Library, 18 Market Square, Melrose, TD6 9PN

• Scottish Borders Council, Council Headquarters, Newtown St. Boswells, Melrose, TD6 0SA

• The Scottish Government Library at Victoria Quay, Edinburgh, EH6 6QQ.

The additional noise information includes large electronic data files. These can only reasonably be made available on CD and on the website noted in the next paragraph. CDs including the data will be placed on deposit at the locations described above. It would be impracticable to deposit paper copies of the data.

The Further Environmental Information can also be viewed online at www.longparkextensiones.co.uk.

Copies of the Further Environmental Information may be obtained from Wind Prospect Developments 2 Ltd (tel: 0131 225 8545) at a charge of £30 (FEI#1) and £100 (FEI#2) hard copy and no charge on CD.

Any representations should be made in writing to The Scottish Government, Energy Consents Unit, 4th Floor, 5 Atlantic Quay, 150 Broomielaw, Glasgow G2 8LU or emailed to representations@scotland.gsi.gov.uk identifying the proposal and specifying grounds for objection or support, not later than 9th March 2016.

Representations should be dated and should clearly state the name (in block capitals) and full return email and postal address of those making representation. Only representations sent by email to the address stipulated will receive acknowledgement.

All previous representations received in relation to this development remain valid.
