Current status: Answered by Johann Lamont on 22 November 2005
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will list all proposed planning consents notified to it or Historic Scotland by local authorities or developers or agents acting in partnership with, or for, local authorities in respect of the Executive’s schools PPP programme and whether the proposed consents have been called in or cleared back to the respective local authorities in each case.
I should explain that responsibility for dealing with planning applications and planning matters generally rests initially with the planning authority. Scottish ministers would only consider intervening in the process, by calling in a planning application for their own determination, in the most exceptional circumstances, for example where a proposed development raises issues of significant national importance.
The following is a list of applications notified to the Scottish Executive and Historic Scotland by planning authorities in respect of school PPP projects. It covers the period January 1998 until November 2005. The list indicates whether the proposals were called in for determination by Scottish Ministers or cleared back to the local authority:
