Having reviewed the information provided in emails on 12 and 23 September, SEPA confirm that
our response to this application has not changed our stance on flood risk at the site and our
previous objection still stands. 
Flood Risk
We note that SEPA were previously contacted to confirm the dates of updates to our Flood Map. We
were unable to provide this information at the time due to the recent cyber-attack. Whilst we do not
have the details of what each Map update involved or what changes occurred as a result, the dates
of the updates are as follows. 
Indicative River and Coastal Flood Map (Scotland) (IRCFM(S)) was released in 2006 which has
been superseded by the SEPA Flood Map
Version 1.0 January 2014
Version 1.1 March 2015
Version 1.2 December 2015
Version 1.3 April 2018
Version 2.0 November 2020

Disclaimer
This advice is given without prejudice to any decision made on elements of the proposal regulated by us, as such a decision may take
into account factors not considered at this time. We prefer all the technical information required for any SEPA consents to be submitted
at the same time as the planning or similar application. However, we consider it to be at the applicant's commercial risk if any significant
changes required during the regulatory stage necessitate a further planning application or similar application and/or neighbour
notification or advertising. We have relied on the accuracy and completeness of the information supplied to us in providing the above
advice and can take no responsibility for incorrect data or interpretation, or omissions, in such information. If we have not referred to a
particular issue in our response, it should not be assumed that there is no impact associated with that issue. For planning applications, if
you did not specifically request advice on flood risk, then advice will not have been provided on this issue. Further information on our
consultation arrangements generally can be found on our website planning pages - www.sepa.org.uk/environment/land/planning/.
