Perth and Kinross Council has extended a public consultation involving two planning applications filed by a company believed to be supplying material for the Cross Tay Link Road (CTLR) project after concerns were aired at a public meeting.
A number of people who attended the most recent meeting of Dunkeld and Birnam Community Council (DBCC) raised a range of concerns about the local authority’s handling of the applications lodged by Mills Contractors relating to its work at Newtyle Quarry.
Their concerns included a lack of notification about the applications and that it appeared no environmental bodies have been consulted about the applications despite them both involving proposals to continue extracting material from the site for a further seven-and-a-half years.
