FOLLOWING CORRECT PROCEDURE?

I have been making enquires into the reasons why Fife Council did not object to the listing of Kilrymont and am now in a position to tell you all. It appears that only one person in Development Services dealt with the matter and, unable to find any planning proposals for Kilrymont School, informed Historic Scotland that the Council had no objections to the listing. This individual did follow correct procedure but it does beg the question of why the Education Service was not consulted. I was informed that this was “not common practice”. I would assert that a little joined up thinking would not have gone amiss here. After all, It’s not every day Historic Scotland ask to have a school listed and it’s not every day one individual is in a position to sign off on the future of 1800 pupils! I have written to the Chief Executive at Council, Ronnie Hinds, asking him to approach Historic Scotland to review the decision. I’ll let you know how far I get.
