Nairn South - Community Councils to press for full local public inquiry

The Nairn South appeal by the Scotia consortium is due to be determined by the Scottish Government Reporter by written evidence only. The Gurn understands that the Nairn's three community councils (River, West and Suburban) are to write to the DPEA (Department of Planning and Environmental Appeals) and ask, in the light of their considerable concerns, that an inquiry be held locally where the various representations can be open to public cross-examination.
Earlier this week we reported how local landowner Charles Allenby (who has rival planning ambitions for the Nairn South area) had also asked through his representatives for a hearing to be held in Nairn.
