Bosses of T in the Park are celebrating being given council approval for their new site  at Strathallan Castle in Perthshire.

The three-day concert  was waiting planning approval from Perth and Kinross Council, and faced some local opposition with the meeting hearing arguments from supporters and opponents of the plan. However after the 90-minute meeting of the development management committee, councillors unanimously backed the application submitted by DF Concerts, subject to a number of conditions.

The result of which is that the festival has been approved for the next three years, so its impact locally can be fully assessed.

Geoff Ellis, CEO of organisers DF Concerts & Events, said, "We’re happy that the committee has approved our application and our team can get on with the plans for a fantastic first year of T in the Park at Strathallan Castle.”

"We’d like to thank the business and tourism sector who recognise the value of the event as one of Scotland’s national treasures and offered tremendous support throughout the process. Most importantly, massive thanks go to the local communities surrounding Strathallan who spent a huge amount of their own precious time to show the country that they warmly welcome T in the Park. We will deliver a festival to make them proud and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship, just like the one we had in Kinross and Milnathort for the last 18 years.”

"We do also understand that not everyone wanted the event at Strathallan but we would hope that these people now accept the decision following what has undoubtedly been the most rigorous and intensive process for staging an event in Scotland's history. It is our intention to work closely with ALL residents to ensure that we are excellent neighbours and minimise any disruption to local life. We also hope they will appreciate that it is our intention to continue to work with the relevant authorities and organisations to ensure the long-term protection and safe-guarding of the local environment surrounding Strathallan.”

"We’re now excited about welcoming an outstanding line-up and the best audience in the world to the most beautiful festival site in the country this July!"
