The question
To ask the Scottish Government when it will announce its decision on planning application (a) PPA-320-2092 for residential development and associated uses in Wishaw and (b) PPA-320-2093 for residential development and associated works in North Lanarkshire.
The answer
The appeals in respect of a residential development at Weymysshill Farm, Overtown, Wishaw, and at land west of Morningside, Newmains, North Lanarkshire are currently with reporters at the Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA) of the Scottish Government.
The appointed reporters in both these appeals have undertaken inspections of the sites relevant to the appeals. In both cases the reporters are considering whether they have enough information to submit a report with recommendations to Scottish Ministers or if they will require to obtain further information from parties involved in the appeals.
The reporters are making every effort to conclude the information gathering stage and to prepare their reports for Scottish Ministers. It will then be for ministers to consider the reporters’ recommendations made on the appeals. Ministers focus on efficient decision making and will endeavour to issue decisions on the appeals as quickly as possible, and within two months of planning and architecture division officials receiving the reports from DPEA.
