Dear Mr Glen,
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2002 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
RELATING TO PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS FOR PLANNING APPLICATION
09/01361/WOPP
I refer to your letter request for information received by Fife
Council on the 8th February 2010, our ref: 537.
I am pleased to enclose a list of neighbours who were notified by
the Council, these were selected on the basis that their properties
are within 20 metres of the application site. The objections are
all available to view on-line at www.fife.gov.uk/planning. In
total, 33 letters were received.
The Council did not organise a public meeting as this is not
required by legislation, however the application is being
considered at the Cowdenbeath Area Committee on 3rd March 2010.
I hope that this response meets your requirements.
If you are not satisfied with the way we have handled your request,
you have the right to request a review of the decision. Please
write to: Chief Legal Officer, Legal Services, Performance &
Organisational Support, Fife House, North Street, Glenrothes, KY7
5LT, or e-mail to [email address] within 3 calendar months
of receipt of our decision. If this fails to resolve the matter to
your complete satisfaction, you have the right to apply to the
Scottish Information Commissioner for a decision.
Yours sincerely,
Monica Kellock Planner (Development Promotion & Design)

Dear Karen Berry & Monica Kellock
Thank you for your reply, however the web address you provided me
is wrong, and I believe the correct address is:
http://planning.fife.gov.uk/online/appli...,
also there is a discrepancy in your figures, you stated 33
objections were received, yet the website says 32, can this please
be confirmed.
Your e-mail states "I am pleased to enclose a list of neighbours
who were notified by the Council, these were selected on the basis
that their properties
are within 20 metres of the application site." yet their is no list
mentioned in the e-mail or attached as a file, can you please
confirm this as well.
Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely,

I've received all the information that was requested. There was a very small discrepancy in the numbers given by 1 which could be a simple error, but they are looking into it, and will give me an update.
I wasn't actually expecting a reply until the 15th of March, so I am happy that I received this reply early, especially since this request was part of a campaign by the Lochgelly Community Regeneration Forum and lochgelly.org.uk which will be concluded Tomorrow at the Cowdenbeath Area Committee.

Hi Karen,
I've resolved the discrepancy in the figures so I will not need a
reply. The website shows 32 objections but isn't showing the latest
objection from the Community Council. This objection was mentioned
at the Cowdenbeath Area Committee who also confirmed the numbers of
33 objections.
Once again thank you for your time and quick response, as far as I
am concerned, the request is closed and successful (ie - all
information provided)
Thanks again
Kind Regards - James Glen
