Under reference to item 8 of the Minute of the meeting of this Consultative Forum held on 17 February 2017 it was advised that this planning application was now moving forward to a public inquiry, the date of which was still to be confirmed.
The issue was raised as to why the Chair of the Park Authority and the Interim Regional Park Manager were unable to appear at a public inquiry. It was agreed that clarification would be sought from the Heads of Corporate Governance and Planning & Housing, Renfrewshire Council as to whether the Chair of the Park Authority Joint Committee and the Interim Regional Park Manager could represent the Park at a public inquiry and if not the reasons why not.
Concern was expressed that there was no reference in the Planning Officers report in relation to an objection by Clyde Muirshiel Park. The Interim Regional Park Manager advised that comments had been submitted and it was agreed that the comments from the Park Manager would be circulated to all members of the Consultative Forum.
