COLVEND COMMUNITY COUNCIL HELD A PUBLIC MEETING ON 25th JUNE
Summary Minutes
Last night's Public Meeting was attended by approx 40 people which was quite a good turnout considering the extreme heat we have had. 8 of the 40 were Sandyhills residents.
Ronnie Morris chaired the meeting and ran through a power point presentation prepared by the Community Council on the application, this included possible objection reasons.
The audience were a bit confused during the presentation regarding the different applications; I interjected and gave background information on the timing, the applications and the state of play with them. I think this did help the audience to understand what has been going on in the last 5 years.
Gillespie Leisure had been invited to attend but declined.
No one in the room was in support of the current application.
The Community Council have updated their web page with details of how-to object, deadline dates and possible objection points.
It was stressed time was short and everyone had to get on with sending in an objection or support letter before Thursday 2nd July.
Local community what's app groups etc would be updated again to remind everyone of the urgency of the situation.
After the meeting a few Sandyhills residents were interviewed by a BBC Radio Scotland reporter. The report will be aired on Monday and will be on BBC sounds to replay.
The Road's Department have added a Consultee response which is now on the planning website. I have attached it to this email.

Our aim is to work with everyone who is concerned with retaining the enjoyment of visiting this beautiful beach and bay.
The proposed applications would severely impact our beautiful unspoilt beach, sand dunes, and woodland. With the potential increased size of the ' Site ' the pressure on the environment will be huge and irreversible.
The visual impact of such a development in the heart of the designated East Stewartry Coast National Scenic Area (NSA) will be immense.
Sandyhills is one of the finest, unspoilt beaches in Dumfries & Galloway and currently offers open access to all.
This website has been commissioned by local residents of Sandyhills to help keep everyone who loves Sandyhills up to date with the progress of the various planning applications . You can also stay up to date by joining our Facebook page or find us on Instagram. We would be grateful if you can spread the word far and wide and get others to follow progress too.
Sandyhills Beach right now needs your help.
