Thanks Christine
I think it is useful to share this with my colleagues if only to document my attempts to resolve the issue privately

Dear Councillors
I am aware that you have all received a copy of a letter addressed to me, from Frances McCartney, Solicitor.
The issues raised by Ms McCartney will be addressed at your meeting tomorrow by the relevant officers from Planning and Environmental Services and Corporate Services.
In the meantime some of you have asked to have sight of the correspondence between myself and Councillor Storr that is referred to in that letter. Regrettably the content of my initial response to Councillor Storr was incorrect and there has been further correspondence as a result of that. In the circumstances it seems appropriate to provide you with the entire correspondence which you will find below.
I trust this is of assistance.
Yours sincerely
Christine Gore

Re: Marram grass planting at Menie
Dear Councillor Storr,
Apologies, I was at the wrong end of the process.
The need for a pre-application consultation only applies to Major Applications submitted on or after 3 August. The determination process for Major Applications applies to any such applications determined after 3 August, and provides that Major Applications which represent a significant departure from the development plan should be the subject of a pre-determination hearing and thereafter considered by full Council. However, whilst this application is a departure, officers do not consider it to be a significant departure, which is why it appears on the agenda for Formartine Area Committee tomorrow.
I trust this clarification is helpful.
Regards,
Christine.

Dear Councillor Storr,
This application was submitted prior to the new Regulations regarding, among other things, the planning hierarchy, coming into effect on 3 August. It therefore falls to be considered under the previous legislation, to which the statutory major applications process does not apply.
I trust this clarification is helpful.
Yours sincerely,

Marram grass planting at Menie
Hi Christine and Raymond
I am rather surprised to find the above application on the agenda for Formartine next week
Thiis appears to be an application covering more than 2 ha and as no Masterplan has been agreed it is not covered by the outline planning application
Should it not therefore fall into the Major applications process?
Debra
