The timescale applicable to requests (a) to (d) begins with the awarding of the contract to build the AWPR/B-T Project to ABL (December 2014) up to the date of the request.

The signage which has been erected, both on a temporary and permanent, basis on the Balmedie to Tipperty Road include tourist signs, sometimes called “brown” tourist signs. Examples include signage for “Coastal Trail North” and “Country Park & Beach”.

There will be records of applicants and applications which fall under the scope of our request. For the avoidance of doubt, we are looking for information up to the making of a final determination in relation to all permanent and temporary brown tourist signs erected on the Balmedie to Tipperty Road. We are not requesting records relating to any later period in relation to each permanent and temporary brown tourist signs erected on the Balmedie to Tipperty Road, unless those records modify, amend or change in any way the relevant final determination.
