Can you imagine the council officials being interrogated by the Deveron suits plus the gifted amateurs of the Concerned residents' Assoc and the APT plus the Common Good Fund self-taught experts, not to mention the talent on the Suburban Community Council? It might resemble a planning slaughter house by the close of proceedings.

It means that their option on Sandown will remain open whilst we await the appeal to be heard, if their appeal is not successful they can then if they so wish put in a revised plan. The overall delay must surely be in the hope that the economy will improve and if they are forced to revise their plans that by then the housing market will be more buoyant. If the Sainsbury’s hearing was anything to go by then the competence of numerous Highland Council officials will be openly contested which may lead to some sympathy for Deveron which could possibly edge the judgment in their favour?
