We move to petition PE605 from Mr George Makins, on behalf of Auchencairn community council, which calls for a public inquiry into the planning application for wind turbines. This is a last-minute addition to the list of new petitions under consideration this morning and was supposed to be dealt with at our meeting on 11 March. However, as the minister is expected to make an announcement shortly on the planning application for the Robin Rigg development, it has been suggested that we consider the petition this morning. After all, the minister could have already decided the matter by 11 March.It is proposed that the committee agree to formally refer the petition to the Deputy Minister for Environment and Rural Development, urging him to consider the petitioner's calls for a local public inquiry as part of the decision-making process. We might also wish to pass a copy of the petition to the Minister for Social Justice, who has an interest in the general planning matters associated with it. Are members agreed?Members indicated agreement.
