Scottish Construction Now<\/em> writes:<\/p>\n

Glasgow City Council\u2019s\u00a0planning local review committee granted permission for East Kilbride-based\u00a0Zoom Developments\u00a0to build four five-bedroom homes on green belt land in Carmunnock.<\/p>\n

A previous application for the site was rejected last year after the local authority decided that it was not considered to be in accordance with its development plan for the area and would result in the loss of green belt land \u201cwith a significant adverse impact on the landscape character of Carmunnock village\u201d.<\/p>\n

Carmunnock Community Council\u00a0has\u00a0called on the chief executive of the council to investigate the \u201cfarcical\u201d decision and has launched a crowd-funded attempt to potentially fight the decision through a judicial review in the Court of Session. Almost\u00a0\u00a32,000 had been raised in the space of 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Community council chair, John Lawless, said: \u201cIn my experience, it is the worst example of a council planning meeting I have ever seen and we demand the chief executive finds out what happened and why? Carmunnock is the last remaining village within the Glasgow City Council boundary and has a green belt to protect it. That is being destroyed with this decision. This decision has ramifications for every green belt in Scotland. It\u2019s a green belt giveaway.\u201d<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Glasgow City Council spokesman\u00a0confirmed the planning local review committee\u2019s decision, adding that the committee members had \u201csufficient information before them to determine the review\u201d.<\/p>\n
