Travellers in Kinross-shire could escape eviction threat after meeting demands

Travellers in Kinross-shire could escape eviction threat after meeting demands

Travellers who faced ground-breaking legal action to evict them from an authorised Kinross-shire camp have won praise from council officers.

In March, families living at the remote Crook Moss site, near Fossoway, were warned they could have planning permission revoked after failing to comply with a series of enforcement orders.

The site was granted retrospective planning consent to house up to 15 Gypsy/Traveller caravans in 2013, despite objections from residents.

If Perth and Kinross Council withdraws consent, it would be the first time such action has been taken in Scotland.

Next month, members of the development management committee will be told that the community has made good progress in meeting a catalogue of demands.

In his report, development quality manager Nick Brian said that there had been no new complaints about noise, with loud electricity generators now kept in insulated units.

Scottish Power is working on linking the pitches up to the main supply, Mr Brian said.

He said that concerns about drainage, water supply and landscaping were also being addressed.

“There has been clear progress in the key areas of concern in relation to compliance with the conditions,” Mr Brian said.

“The timescales for compliance, as set out by members of the committee in September, are still on track.”

The issue was originally raised by councillor Willie Robertson after complaints from residents, particularly about noisy generators.

Villagers were also upset about the visual impact of the camp, which was previously a rubbish dump.
