Calliacher - Yet Another Public Inquiry

 I&H Brown have appealed against the rejection of their proposed development on the Calliacher site by Perth & Kinross Council's Development Control Committee. This will be dealt with by a full Public Inquiry - not just written submissions. Please help us fund this.

Logiealmond Rejected

Perth & Kinross Council's Development Control Committee unanimously rejected Mansfields Estates proposal for Logiealmond. No news of any appeal by Mansfield Estates/ AMEC at this point

Calliacher  Rejected - Again

Perth & Kinross Council's Development Control Committee rejected I&H Brown's  latest proposal for Calliachar. Whilst the committee were aware of a Government Reporter's views on a previous Section 36 submission for the Calliachar site, it was pointed out that the Reporter was not in a position to predetermine the permission of a speculative future development. It was also pointed out, amongst other things, that this submission was, like previous submissions, contrary to Council policies and guidelines; it was unlikely to deliver any significant long term local employment; and that environmentally its possible benefits were unlikey to outweigh its obvious harm.  We were also heartened by the submission against the development by The John Muir Trust, which pointed out its unquestionable environmental credentials.

Griffin Given Go Ahead

Following on from their retracted press release last week, it has finally been officially confirmed by the Scottish Government, that GreenPower have been granted planning permission for the Griffin Forest development. It would appear the Scottish Government's not listening to local copmmunities and not listening to their local councils.
