Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many applications for consent have been refused by the Marine Management Organisation since 2010.
This question was answered on 7th March 2016
The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) database was established in April 2011 and accurate data for marine licence applications determined by the MMO are limited to post 1 April 2011. However, I can confirm that since April 2011:
- 50 fully determined marine licence applications have required an appropriate assessment;
- 151 fully determined marine licence applications have required an environmental impact assessment;
- 44 marine licence applications have been refused; and,
- 3,849 fully determined marine licence applications have been approved, including 1,848 variations to an existing marine licence.
