2.3 Of the eight Local Authority responses, six came from individual Local Authorities and two represented the collective views of the Scottish Energy Officers Network ( SEON) and the Scottish HECA Officers Network ( SHON).
2.4 Relatively few energy related businesses and environmental groups responded, one individual responded and the two uncategorised responses were received from a property developer and a private landlord.
2.5 The consultation asked for views and comments on energy efficiency and microgeneration policy development under chapter headings rather than asking specific questions and therefore the responses received did not follow a standard format. Additionally, each respondent did not comment on all of the sections of the consultation. A full breakdown of which respondents commented on which sections of the consultation is contained in Annex 1.
2.6 Where respondents gave permission, their individual responses have been published on the Scottish Government website at www.scotland.gov.uk/publications. All respondents are listed in Annex 2.
2.7 All non-confidential responses are available to the public in hard copy at the Scottish Government Library, K Spur, Saughton House, Broomhouse Drive, Edinburgh, EH11 3XD.
