Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: The national roads directorate proposes subject to planning approval, to use Marlin lodge as a
temporary office from which the contractor and the Scottish Office's site representative would manage site operations during the
Dumbreck to Malletsheugh's three-year maintenance period. A planning application for a "change of use" for the property has been
lodged with East Renfrewshire council.
When the land required for the adjacent road scheme is identified, it is expected that Marlin lodge and any surplus land will be
disposed of in line with the statutory guidelines.
