Some important news - AMA has appealed the decision made by the council on their planning application for hideous flats on 1 Slateford Road.
You'll recall that the council threw out the planning application so we won that battle. Unfortunately AMA can make an appeal to the Scottish Government's planning directorate.
The Government officials will be sent all the objections that everyone has sent before (unless you've marked it as confidential).
If you objected to the planning application (hopefully you did!), you should receive a letter from the council about it. As usual, the stuff the council sends is rather confusing so I've phoned them so I can translate it for you.
As well as your previous objection letters, the Government will consider any new representations that you would like to make. You have got 14 days from when you receive your letter from the council to make these new objections. So, if you get your letter today, your deadline is 14 October. So, if you want to extend your arguments, make new points, re-affirm what you said before, then this is an opportunity for you to do so. Please take that opportunity!
Send your new letters to the Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals, 4 The Courtyard, Callendar Business Park, Falkirk (Tel: 01324 696 400), Remember, we are corresponding with the Government on this one and not the council,
Hope that helps. The FCARA Committee will keep you posted of any developments.
