The councillors representing Highland Perthshire voted as follows:
C’llr Eleanor Howie was for the proposal, however she felt that it should have been handled as separate, individual developments and that the affordable element shouldn’t have been included.
C’llr Ken Lyall was for the development, but had a slight reservations about the demolition of the poultry unit and erection of three dwellings there, feeling that this might lead to further future development of the field in question.
