Question

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answers to questions S6W-15384 and S6W-15385 by John Swinney on 7 March 2023, now that six months have passed since the winning bids were announced for Scotland's Green Freeports, whether it can provide an update on what the timescale is for when maps showing the Green Freeport designation areas will be made publicly available, including the associated outer 45km limit boundary, in order to indicate any legally protected sites for nature that fall within the Green Freeport boundaries, in light of such maps already being available for England's Freeports, and of reports that applicants were required to submit maps showing the designation area as part of the bidding process in Scotland.


Answer

Maps of the Green Freeport areas have been published on the UK Government’s website and can be accessed at: www.gov.uk/government/publications/green-freeports-in-scotland-bidding-prospectus .
