Mowi Scotland has submitted an appeal to a recent refusal of planning permission for its Loch Hourn salmon farm.
Should the appeal be successful it would grant permission for an additional fish pen to be installed, together with an increase in the farms production capacity by 10%.
“After careful consideration we have concluded there are strong evidence-based grounds to contest the reasons for refusal and, in accordance with the statutory provision, we intend to appeal against the decision,” said Stephen MacIntyre, head of environment at Mowi Scotland.
