Updated statement on major planning application for West Riverside and Woodbank House

“As the Planning Authority considering a live application we are limited in what we can say at this stage in the process, but we do provide updates on where we are in the process on our website.

“We assess the application against relevant planning policies, including those set out in our Local Development Plan. Until all the information has been considered, including responses from the public and statutory consultees like SEPA, the local Community Council and relevant local authority departments, we are not in a position to make a recommendation to members of our Board about whether to approve or refuse the application.

“All responses and public comments will be taken into account when determining the application, including those submitted online through the Scottish Green Party campaign.

“No determination date has been set for this application. Once a date has been confirmed it will be publicised and everyone who has submitted a representation to the application will be informed.”
