The OIC has said members of the public are welcome to attend this meeting, which will be held in the Community Room at Pierowall Junior High School, Westray, on 2 June at 2.15pm.

Councillor Rob Crichton, Chair of the Planning Committee, said: "The Committee's visit to Westray will enable Councillors to make a determination with a site visit very fresh in their minds.

"There was a good turnout at the Committee's last visit to Westray in November 2012, and we hope local folk will again come along to watch proceedings."
