Pitfalls in planning bill proposals

Following today’s legislative programme announcements by the First Minister, Scottish Environment LINK has responded by urging the Parliament to reconsider the decision in the Planning White Paper not to introduce a limited third party right of appeal into the planning system.

Together with the Association of Scottish Community Councils, LINK are organising a public petition that also insists that all planning decisions, especially those related to the proposed National Planning Framework, must be open to challenge and public inquiry.
