The question

To ask the Scottish Executive which of the 65 notified cases affecting trunk roads and special roads, as listed in Table 6 of the 2001 Fourth Annual Report of the Planning Audit Unit, were called in by ministers for determination; what the outcome was in each case, and what steps it takes in cases cleared back to local authorities for determination to ensure that consents are refused or conditioned in order to reflect the consultation responses given by it on matters affecting trunk roads and special trunk roads.

The 65 notified cases listed in Table 6 of the Fourth Annual Report of the Planning Audit Unit were not all correctly attributed to the appropriate local authorities as a result of a printing error. The table in the report has now been corrected in line with the undernoted, which also provides the additional information requested.When a planning application is cleared back to a planning authority for determination it is for the authority to have regard to any consultation responses received. Once an application has been cleared back in this manner, statute does not provide the Scottish ministers with any further powers to intervene.Notified Planning Applications Affecting Trunk and Special Roads April 1996 to March 2001Council | Notified | Called-In | Call-In Revoked | Application Withdrawn | Granted | Refused
