Cauldhall Moor Penicuik (South of Rosewell)
Here is the planning application from Scottish Coal - with many documents attached. If you wish to read a summary, the Pre-Application Consultation Report Volume 6, pages 10-19 (See Planning Application above - Document D-v6 PAC Report) /RosewellandDistrict/documents/pre-application-consultation-report-volume-6.pdf responds to the issues raised at the Public Exhibition (attended by 45 people) in Rosewell on 3 October 2012, and also to RDCC's letter of 29 October 2012 - /RosewellandDistrict/documents/rdccs-comments-on-cauldhall-moor-opencast-development.doc in response to the Scoping Report.
The ES Non Technical Summary Volume 4 (See Planning Application above - Document D-v4 es non technical summary) is also helpful. At the next RDCC meeting on 11 March we will display a hard copy set of the full application, and we have some copies of the current Scottish Coal February Newsletter, DVD-ROMs of the application and the ES Non Technical Summary for distribution to residents.
UPDATE - Please view RDCC's letter of 4 April 2013 - /RosewellandDistrict/documents/cauldhallpa-rdcc-response.doc in response to the full planning application (this should be read in conjunction with our above response dated 29 October 2012).
UPDATE - (Extract from RDCC AGM Minutes of 22 April 2013) Residents who attended our 11 March meeting will recall we informed you that Scottish Resources Group (SRG)/Scottish Coal was in financial difficulties and that the project had been put on hold. It came as little surprise, therefore when media reports last weekend announced that SRG had gone into liquidation, with the loss of 590 jobs. We are very sorry about the loss of jobs and, most particularly, for local people who have been affected. In these circumstances, the Chair felt that any discussion would be hypothetical until further public information is available.
UPDATE 17.8.13 - Please click on the planning application at the top of the page and view the last document dated 16 August 2013. This correspondence confirms that Hargreaves are now the applicant for the planning application and will be submitting comments to Midlothian Council on the various consultation responses. RDCC will monitor these comments closely to ensure that the conditions we submitted to Scottish Coal (Scottish Resources Group), and which they addressed positively, are all met by Hargreaves.
