Abstract
This chapter provides a review of some aspects of the decision and approval process involved in the siting of liquefied energy gas (LEG) facilities at Mossmorran and Braefoot Bay in Fife, Scotland. The terms of reference for this decision process were for the international oil companies Shell and Esso to obtain outline planning permission (i.e., official approval in principle) for the following:
-
(a)
An application by Shell for natural gas liquids separation facilities at Mossmorran, and associated jetty facilities at Braefoot Bay.
-
(b)
An application by Esso for an ethylene cracker plant at Mossmorran and associated jetty facilities at Braefoot Bay.
-
(c)
An application by Esso for industrial development at Mossmorran.
This chapter was written by Sally Macgill, based on a more comprehensive case study (Macgill 1982). The author worked closely with Joanne Linnerooth in integrating the case study material within the MAMP framework.
