Perth and Kinross Council is investigating a complaint a developer has blocked off a core path west of Luncarty and formed a lengthy diversion without proper permission.
The local authority made a point of mentioning anyone wishing to modify core path LUNC/122 as part of planned work at Cramflat Farm had to apply for a special order to do so before making any changes when it ruled on a planning application last year.
The council’s community greenspace team said it was apparent from drawings submitted by G L Smith they wanted to shift the core path “substantially” so they could demolish old agricultural buildings and build new ones plus a new dwellinghouse in their place.
