Parliamentary analysis

Cross party aye

This vote is most similar to a group of votes where there is a cross party consensus in favour of a motion.

There may be scattered opposition (which is why a vote is being held at all), but it does not break down clearly along government/opposition lines.

Motion

Motion type: Other(?)

The result of the division on motion S6M-17862, in the name of Jackie Baillie, on planning, as amended, is: For 91, Against 1, Abstentions 21. Motion, as amended, agreed to, That the Parliament agrees that the Lomond Banks planning application for a development at Balloch should be called in for determination by the Scottish Ministers;

that any subsequent decision on the planning application should be made in a fair and impartial way that takes into account all relevant legal requirements and maintains the integrity of the planning process;

believes that the significant public interest in this application and its location within a national park make it a matter of national interest, and asks that ministers assess the application’s compatibility with National Planning Framework 4, as approved by the Parliament in 2023, and with the statutory aims of the national park.
