From Cllrs Davidson and Fraser
MOWI have moved their fish cages and they are now in the wrong place. MOWI do not have planning permission for the current site and they have agreed to move it, but not committed to a timescale.
The original location of the fish cages will interfere with the tailrace of the proposed hydro-electric scheme and permission had been granted for a revised position. However, they can’t currently move it to their revised agreed position as the water is too shallow. MOWI are unwilling to return the cages to the previous site saying it will interfere with the Hydro tailrace construction. We do not consider this argument to be valid.
It seems unlikely that Red John will be operating for some years to come and hence they could use the original site and take time to explore and agree suitable sites. Therefore Planning Services may just put a enforcement order in place and MOWI would have to move back.
