NOTICE is hereby given that the Scottish Ministers have on 27 September 2024 in exercise of the powers conferred on them by Schedule 16 to the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, confirmed without modification the Perth and Kinross Council Core Path BLAI/29 and Right of Way 17/29 Stopping Up and Diversion Order 2024. The effect of the Order is to stop up a section of the footpath on the west side of Perth Road, Blairgowrie and divert it initially northwards and then southwards of the existing footpath as it approaches Perth Road. This will enable affordable housing to be constructed as part of the West Park development.

A copy of the Order and plan as confirmed may be inspected by prior arrangement at Perth and Kinross Council Offices, 2 High Street, Perth, PH1 5PH by any person free of charge by contacting LegalServices@pkc.gov.uk. A copy of the Order and plan may also be examined on the Perth and Kinross Council website: https://www.pkc.gov.uk/corepathdiversions.

The Order as confirmed came into operation on 27 September 2024 subject to the right of any person aggrieved by the Order applying to the Court of Session within 6 weeks of the date of publication of this Notice. The Court may quash the Order if satisfied that the Order is not within the powers of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, or that the applicant’s interests have been substantially prejudiced by a failure to comply with any requirement of the Act or of the Tribunals and Inquiries Act 1992, or of any orders, regulations or rules made under these Acts.
