Ministers have come under fire for ignoring specialist decision-making as it emerged they overturned nearly all appealed planning decisions made last year by the agency it tasks with protecting the nation’s heritage and half of those made by local authorities.
Scottish Government Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals (DPEA) data shows that ministers overruled councils on 45% of their planning decisions on appeal last year.
