What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to demonstrate how the current planning process ensures planning applicants are unable to interfere with the rights of third parties to object to planning applications and to ensure that appropriate sanctions are in place when it has been shown that the planning applicant has attempted to interfere with these rights by any means.

What the petitioner did first

Following different planning applications, interference by a planning applicant was directed to members of the public causing several to withdraw from further participation in the planning process. The Police were notified but did not take any remedial action. The Local Authority’s Councillors were also approached and recommended contact with the Police. The Planning Authority were also notified but stated they could do nothing.
