Planning application
26/00176/PPD
Raft Langass Clachan Isle Of North Uist
Proposal
Installation of a small (4m x 4m) raft in Loch a Bharpa, Isle of North Uist . There will be a 220mm water intake pipe suspended under the raft, which will run for approximately 80m on the loch bed to an existing dam to the south east of the raft. This is to supply freshwater to the existing Bakkafrost Langass Hatchery. The current intake pipe for the hatchery is situated in the existing dam wall, this application is to extend the intake pipe out into the loch area and suspend it, to minimise the risk of organic material being sucked into the pipe. The pipe will be fitted with a filter cover on the end. The raft will be comprised of grey plastic floats and moored by a single point to the loch bed. This application also seeks retrospective permission for the installation of an access track, which was previously installed to facilitate repair works carried out on the existing dam.

The process from here
This application is with Na h-Eileanan Siar for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.
