Developers whose plans to form a new slip road and junction on the A9 near Auchterarder were thwarted by the local authority last year have appealed to the Scottish Government to overturn the decision.
Perth and Kinross Council’s planning committee backed a recommendation from officials last November to refuse a joint application from Muir Homes and Stewart Milne Homes to make the changes at Shinafoot over concerns about road safety and traffic congestion.
The committee was told the duo’s application to form a southbound off-slip road onto the A9 only and not provide a separate southbound on-slip road through the same proposal was “unacceptable” as this did not meet a legal agreement made over a decade ago.
