Environment Appeals
Under a wide variety of provisions covered in
environmental legislation, appeals (or questions,
representations, objections etc.) can be made to the
Scottish Ministers by affected parties who are not content
with a decision made by an enforcing authority, such as the
Scottish
Environment Protection Agency.
Appeals are usually dealt with either by written
representations or by way of a hearing. Once the
appropriate procedures have been completed, and the
Scottish Ministers are sufficiently informed on the facts
of a case, they will consider all the evidence available
and determine the appeal.
Further information on Environmental Appeals can be
obtained from the Scottish Executive's Determinations
Team. Their contact telephone number is 0131 244 0198, and
their e-mail address is
