Re-submitted proposal for Sub-orbital Vertical Launch Spaceport Facility

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (CnES - Western Isles Council) have withdrawn their original planning application Ref. No. 19/00311 for Phase1of Spaceport 1 (the first phase of an overall proposed 4 phase development).

This has been replaced by a new application 21/00646/PPD for a Sub-orbital Vertical Launch Spaceport Facility, submitted on 11th Feb 2022. This is in effect a refinement of the original Phase 1 application.

The Council have advised that all previous objections will not be carried forward, and that should anyone wish to make representations in respect of the new application they will need to do so by the 13th March 2022.

A request to extend the period for representations to be made has been submitted to CnES, but there is no certainty that this will be granted.
