Regulation 16 Transitional Provision - Requests for scoping opinions and directions under the Forestry (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 made prior to 18 March 2021

A request to the Forestry Commissioners for a scoping opinion under regulation 15 of the 2017 Regulations made prior to 18 March 2021 which remains outstanding on that date is to be treated as if it were a request for a scoping opinion made to the Scottish Ministers under regulation 15 of the 2017 Regulations, as that provision is amended by these Regulations.
