A Kinross charity has applied a third time for permission to create a new warm-up and spectator area for hockey players and fans beside an artificial pitch in the town.
The last application lodged by Kinross Astro to put down hardstanding on a grassy area next to the pitch at the King George V Playing Fields was refused by Perth and Kinross Council planning officials under delegated powers as well as the Local Review Body on appeal.
Community greenspace workers recommended the application be refused after noting residents had raised objections to the charity’s proposal to remove three mature trees in order to form the new warm-up and spectator area.
