A move by a pair of developers to form a new junction east of Auchterarder accessing the A9 has drawn an objection from a local community council.
Muir Homes and the Stewart Milne Group sent Perth and Kinross Council their application to construct the slip road at Shinafoot at the end of October last year but it was only validated the week before Christmas.
The companies say their proposal meets an obligation written into an agreement struck with the council when it granted the pair outline permission to build homes on land at Castlemains and Kirkton back in 2013.
