@aprscotland.bsky.socialCelebrating our big win on Wednesday when the Government announced all hyperscale data centres over 50MW will require Environmental Impact Assessments AND and then a Parliament vote for pausing all planning applications for up to 12 months until guidance is issued.

@aprscotland.bsky.socialWe are calling for the Scottish Government to put in place an immediate moratorium for hyperscale data centres, as Greens force a vote on the subject at Holyrood this week.

@aprscotland.bsky.socialWe have made a template to help you email your MSPs to request that they ask the Minister for Public Finance make an EIA screening direction for the two data centres to ensure they get an Environmental Impact Assessment. aprs.scot/news/urgen...
@aprscotland.bsky.socialURGENT ACTION NEEDED! Two new planning applications have been submitted for hyperscale AI data centres, one in Greenock and one in Chapelhall, Airdrie, and neither is being required to do an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). We are asking people to email their MSPs. 1/2
