1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT Peterhead Port Authority (“the Applicant”) has applied to the Scottish Ministers for a Harbour Revision Order under section 14 of the Harbours Act 1964 (“the 1964 Act”).

2. The Order will confer powers on the Applicant to construct and maintain works in the port of Peterhead involving an extension and deepening of the existing berth pocket at Smith Quay, reclamation of land to the north west of Smith Quay, partial demolition of a berthing dolphin and construction of a jetty extension and mooring dolphin at Smith Quay. It also alters the harbour limits of the port, provides for the possibility of one, two or three year terms of office of the members of the Applicant and repeals superseded, obsolete or otherwise unnecessary statutory provision affecting the port.

3. The Scottish Ministers have advised by letter dated 25 November 2025 that they have decided in accordance with paragraph 4 of Schedule 3 to the 1964 Act that the application does not relate to a project which falls within Annex I to Council Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (“the Directive”) and does relate to a project which falls within Annex II to the Directive being a construction of a port installation. The Scottish Ministers have concluded that it is not a relevant project in terms of Schedule 3 to the 1964 Act because it would be unlikely to have significant effects on the environment. Accordingly, no environmental statement is required.

4. A copy of the draft Order, the deposited plans which accompanied the application and the letter dated 25 November 2025 may be inspected, free of charge, between the opening hours of 8.30am and 4pm Monday to Friday at the offices of Peterhead Port Authority, Harbour Office, West Pier, Peterhead, AB42 1DW and between the opening hours of 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday at the offices of the under mentioned Agent until the expiry of the forty-two day period specified below. Any person requiring further information concerning the proposed works should apply in writing for that information to either one of those offices quoting reference “PPA HRO”.

5. Paragraph 16 of Schedule 3 to the 1964 Act (which requires information to be supplied concerning a project which is likely to have significant effects on the environment in Great Britain and in another European Economic Area State) does not apply to the application.

6. Any person wishing to make an objection or representation to the Scottish Ministers concerning the application should write to Dario Dalla Costa, Ports Policy Advisor, Ports and Harbours Branch, Transport Scotland, Area 2F North, Victoria Quay, Edinburgh EH6 6QQ or email harbourorders@transport.gov.scot within forty-two days from the date at the foot of this notice quoting The Peterhead Port Authority Harbour Revision Order stating the grounds of their objection or representation and giving an address to which correspondence relating to the objection or representation may be sent.

7. All objections or representations made, including personal information provided to Scottish Ministers, will be shared with the applicant who may contact you to discuss your concerns. Names and the text of any representation may also be published on Transport Scotland’s website due to Freedom of Information requirements. If you wish to discuss any issues relating to the use of your personal data please contact the person specified in paragraph 6 of this notice.

8. If an objection is duly made to the application and not withdrawn the Scottish Ministers may, before making their decision (i) cause an inquiry to be held, or (ii) give to the objector an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by them.
