§ Mr. KennedyTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the proposal which he has received from Highland regional council concerning the upgrading of the A850 Broadford-Kyleakin road, Isle of Skye, with particular reference to(a) the number of objections received and (b) whether he intends to call the application in for public inquiry procedures.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonMy right hon. and learned Friend considered the notice of intention to develop, submitted to him by Highland regional council as planning authority on 15 December 1988, together with the 213 letters of objection received, and has decided that the issues involved do not warrant his intervention. A letter was sent to Highland regional council on 23 February indicating that planning permission for the proposed development was deemed to have been granted.
