That the Parliament acknowledges the reported concerns of residents on the Isle of Arran regarding proposals from Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) to develop an industrial site for timber transport at Whitefield Farm at King’s Cross; notes the efforts of the campaign group, Friends of King’s Cross, in raising awareness of the issue; understands that existing timber export arrangements in Brodick will be sufficient to meet the required felling levels for the next 15 years, which, it believes, makes a new timber export facility at King’s Cross unnecessary; believes that Whitefield Farm is used to grow food and is an integral part of the coastal strip landscape of Arran, and that the development of a timber export facility would lead to environmental damage; recognises that this strip is home to rare flora and fauna, which, it considers, could be put at risk by this facility; notes with concern the reported potential impact of noise levels of the facility on King’s Cross; believes that this area is cherished by residents and visitors, including the religious community on Holy Isle, for its tranquillity; understands that commercial forestry is now part of Arran’s economy, but believes that this must be balanced with the needs of the wider island community and economy, and urges the Scottish Government to engage with Friends of King’s Cross and FLS to ensure that the existing timber export arrangements in Brodick are maintained and that the reported negative impact of the proposed new timber export facility at Whitefield Farm is avoided.
