Planning ‘flaws’ slammed in paper mill housing row
The concerns were raised after developer GL Hearn lodged a new application to build 89 houses on the site of the derelict Kinleith paper mill in Currie.
Residents said the firm was using a much older application, lodged in 1985, to push through an unpopular development that does not meet current planning laws. They added that a number of householders had not been notified.

Hide AdResident Archie Clark said: “Local people are disturbed that the city has chosen to notify only 11 at one end of the site.”
A council spokeswoman said: “Neighbourhood notification was carried out in line with Scottish Government legislation.”
A GL Hearn spokeswoman said: “We are engaged with the council as part of the planning application process which will consider affordable housing.”
