		<description><![CDATA[The Court of Session has rejected a judicial review challenge to South Lanarkshire&#8217;s heroic decision to approve the controversial Dovesdale Farm energy from waste plant (see blogs here and here). The application had received over 20,000 objections from the public, more than the entire population of neighbouring Larkhall.  The challenge hinged on three allegations: first, that the committee [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=planningblog.brodies.com&amp;blog=11000558&amp;post=1486&amp;subd=brodiesplanningblog&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The A-listed Dome restaurant on George Street, Edinburgh, has a number of awnings , parasols and canopies around it with varying degrees of fixture to the buildings.

In the last year (29 December 2010 to 28 December 2011), there were 276 planning appeals decided by DPEA reporters. This is down from 457 the previous year (to 28 December 2010).
