Candidates Views; David McGrath, IND - THC Ward 18




Hi 

I am standing for the Highland council.

Planning as you are aware is one of my concerns. I believe that all planning decisions should be decided at a local level, not as is the present H.C. system where councillors from out with the area are making decisions on our future development plans, with no knowledge of the location or feelings of the resident population where councillors are gagged from speaking out publicly against an application. 


When a major development is refused planing permission, the developer then takes it to a Scottish government planing enquiry, to challenge a local decision and a local plan the developers do not like .Very undemocratic and not good for democracy !


Yours faithfully DAVID MC GRATH { candidate WARD 18 H.C. }
