Further Petition update

The SAS Petition was heard for the fourth time this morning. The Committee seemed to have read and understood the concerns raised in our last submission and have agreed to obtain more evidence from both the Planning and Energy Ministers as well as consulting with Planning Aid Scotland (PAS) and The Department for Planning and Environmental Appeals (DPEA) to get a better understand of the training they receive. They will also consult Greg Hands MP, Minister of State for Business, Energy and Clean Growth and Alister Jack MP Secretary of State for Scotland. Video clip below
