FIFE S planning system has been branded farcical by Dunfermline campaigners. Calais Woods Conservation Group helped drum up 270 objections against plans submitted by Shepherd Offshore to create a southern access road serving new homes near the £180 million super campus site. When the developers withdrew proposals recently, the group celebrated a small victory, but are now exasperated at news that plans will be resubmitted and the campaign will need to start over again. It follows protests by the group against the felling of dozens of trees on land near Dunlin Drive (where the road was proposed) without warning last month. Forestry Scotland investigated the incident and has since concluded that Shepherd had not broken the law – but if it fells any more trees it could become liable for prosecution.
