A developer with designs to build around 160 new homes in Kinross has appealed a council direction to provide an environmental impact assessment (EIA) to the dismay of a councillor concerned about the potential impact on Loch Leven.
It emerged this week Miller Homes has asked Scottish ministers to overrule a request from Perth and Kinross Council to supply an EIA to assure staff its plans to form the new homes on land north of Davies Park will not have a significant impact on the environment.
Kinross-shire councillor Willie Robertson, who recently wrote to Scotland’s environment minister with concerns about the amount of raw sewage already being discharged into Loch Leven when existing sewerage systems are overloaded, said this week he was “very disappointed” the company had opted to challenge the council’s instructions.
