WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL
FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT (SCOTLAND) ACT 2009 AND THE FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT (FLOOD PROTECTION SCHEMES, POTENTIALLY VULNERABLE AREAS AND LOCAL PLAN DISTRICTS) (SCOTLAND) REGULATIONS 2010 (AS AMENDED)
GRUGGIES BURN FLOOD ALLEVIATION SCHEME
Notice is hereby given in terms of paragraph 10, and paragraph 1, of schedule 2 of the above Act that on 24th July 2025 West Dunbartonshire Council confirmed the proposed Gruggies Burn Flood Alleviation Scheme without modification. The final decision was made in accordance with section 60 and paragraph 9 of schedule 2 of the above Act and Parts III & IV of the above Regulations.
In accordance with paragraph 11 of schedule 2 of the above Act the Gruggies Burn Flood Alleviation Scheme will become operative six weeks after notice of its confirmation is first published in a locally circulating newspaper, as is required under paragraph 10(2)(d) of schedule 2 of the above Act, unless an appeal in accordance with paragraph 12 of schedule 2 of the above Act is made against the Scheme i.e. between the period 24th July to 4th September 2025 inclusive.
An appeal may be made by way of summary application to the Sheriff of the Sheriffdom of North Strathclyde at: Sheriff Clerk's Office, Dumbarton Sheriff Court, Sheriff Court House, Church Street, Dumbarton G82 1QR. The grounds on which a decision can be appealed are: (a) that the confirmed scheme breaches the restriction in section 61(3) or does not comply with the requirement in section 61(4) of the above Act; (b) that, in reaching the decision, the local authority erred in law; or (c) that there was a failure to comply with a procedural requirement contained in schedule 2 of the above Act or the above Regulations.
The Sheriff may, on the application of the appellant, suspend the operation of the scheme, or any part of it, either generally or insofar as it affects any interest in land which the appellant has, pending determination of the appeal. If the Sheriff is satisfied that the interests of the applicant have been substantially prejudiced, as detailed in paragraph 12(7) of schedule 2 of the above Act, then the Sheriff may uphold the appeal and quash the scheme, or any part of it, either generally or insofar as it affects the interest in land which the appellant has.
