To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-8799 by Stewart Stevenson on 1 February 2008, what additional resources and support it has provided to (a) East Ayrshire Council and (b) South Ayrshire Council from the consultant employed by the Executive to offer assistance to planning authorities, broken down by windfarm application.
Answer
I refer the member to the answer to question S3W-8799 on 1 February 2008. The resources referred to are the time and expertise of the consultants. They are providing advice and support to the councils on the preparation of spatial frameworks and policies for wind farms. The consultants have written to the councils to explain their work and seek initial feedback on the services they can offer. They have also invited the councils to attend a workshop in March. The consultant''s remit does not include work on specific applications so a break down on that basis cannot be provided.
