In reply As i said earlier if this land is classed the same as the land previously refused then where in Shetland could you build as it is grazing the same as 99% of Shetland. I believe this was considered by planning but thought to cause to much traffic to existing main street.As in a new road outwith who pays for that as it would be a massive undertaking if it was ever allowed? It is a distance away but as i understand it was designed in accordance with Architectural & Design Scotland who was recommended by the local planning . Again reading all reports it sounds as if the costly road infrastructure could not be undertaken unless enough houses could be built to make it viable .

That,s a good point. Is there any scalloway residents past,present or hopefully sometime in the future willing to comment?

THINGS WE WANT TO KNOW in relation to the Utnabrake Planning!!!!!! 1.Why has the planning taken so long in respect to a decision? 2.Can they not tell the difference between land that is workable ie ploughable and grazing?(if utnabrake is classed as good agricultural land and deemed unsuitable for housing then so is the rest of Shetland) 3.With a lot of local building firms having to lay of staff would it not be appropriate for the local authorities to help this application and in doing so secure much needed work(jobs) for the local economy? 4.Does the fact that the waiting list for Scalloway area coming to approximately 300 mean nothing? I,m sure theres more so feel free to add more or answer the above.
