Cllr Debra Storr - Ellon & District

Next week the Menie Estate PLI concluded with site visits on Tuesday and Wednesday and Closing Submissions at the AECC on Thursday.

And then it’s up to the Reporters to make a recommendation and John Swinney to make a decision.   It all hinges on the comparative values we place on our environment, the integrity of our planning system and economic development.

I still believe that there is a modified smaller scale development that would provide great benefit without trashing a SSSI.  This applicant still says they want all or nothing.  That is a pity - we could have a win-win here with just a little compromise.
