Petition

Planning Circular 3/2009 (PE1320)

This petition is by Douglas McKenzie on behalf of Communities Against Airfield Open Cast. The Public Petitions Committee referred it to this committee under rule 15.6.2 of standing orders. Members will note the contents of the petition in their meeting papers. I welcome Mr McKenzie, who is present in the gallery. It is suggested that discussion of the petition should take place at a round-table evidence session next week.

As there are no comments from members on the suggestions in the paper, the question is, that we hold an evidence-taking session on the issues raised in the petition with the chief planner, the Royal Town Planning Institute and COSLA at our meeting next week, and that we consider in private, in due course, the evidence received at that meeting and what further action, if any, we wish to take on the petition. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

As agreed earlier, we now move into private session.

11:21 Meeting continued in private until 11:26.
