There are a number of key issues that SOWLIS considers needs to be within the ES as WA intend to ‘scope out’ of the final planning application important issues such as Ecology and Biodiversity Assessment, an Arboricultural Assessment, Climate/ Whole Carbon Life Cycle, Highways, Transport and Access.

Please see the SOWLIS response letter dated 14 June 2022 sent to ABC. We are currently waiting for a response and will update once we hear more.
