What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to eliminate or amend the Notice of Review period of 3 months in order that the Council Complaint Procedure can be concluded prior to a request for a Local Body Review.

What the petitioner did first

The petitioner has had personal experience of appealing a decision to refuse a planning application. The experience made the petitioner aware of problems arising from the interfaces between the complaint and review systems.
As such, the petitioner contacted his Ward Councillors and MSP making them aware of the issues. The MSP wrote to the Minister of Planning and Local Government whose response failed to eliminate petitioner concerns.
