The primary purpose of the SDPA is to prepare and keep under review a strategic development plan for its area. In addition to this it has a role in commenting on nationally and regionally significant planning applications, providing input to other regional plans and strategies and monitoring changes to the physical, economic, social and environmental characteristics of the area. 2.2 The work of the SDPA is influenced by the Planning Act as well as a series of Regulations, Orders and Circulars as well as Scottish Planning Policy and the National Planning Framework, all accessible from the SDPA website (www.aberdeencityandshire-sdpa.gov.uk). 2.3 The SDPA’s ‘Minute of Agreement and Standing Orders’ (May 2010) set out the constitution, terms of reference, administrative arrangements and standing orders of the SDPA (http://www.aberdeencityandshire- sdpa.gov.uk/nmsruntime/saveasdialog.asp?lID=550&sID=38). 3 Discussion 3.1 Following the local government elections in May 2017 there has been a substantial change in membership of the SDPA, with both the previous chair and vice-chair no longer members. 3.2 The previous chair (Cllr Peter Argyle, Aberdeenshire Council) held the position since December 2014 with Cllr Ramsay Milne (Aberdeen City Council) as vice- chair. 3.3 The constitution of the SDPA requires that the Chair and Vice Chair are to be elected by Members of the SDPA; are not to be from the same council, shall hold office for a period of 2 years; and at the end of the Chair’s term of office Item: 1 Page: 4 the Vice Chair automatically assumes the role of Chair and a new Vice Chair is elected. 4 Recommendations 4.1 It is recommended that Members of the SDPA elect a chair and vice-chair in accordance with the SDPA’s constitution.

In Aberdeen City, 15ha of employment land was developed (well above an average development rate of 6ha per annum over the previous 10 years), with 27ha under construction (2) Local Development Plans The Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2017 was adopted by Aberdeen City Council on 20 January 2017, a further round of consultation has taken place on their proposed Supplementary Guidance and the results of the public consultation were reported to council on 15 March 2017.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

The Council area is split into two distinct geographical types: the western part of the Council area is dominated by the Grampian mountain range and includes large areas of forest and moorland. The northern, eastern and southern parts of the Council area are somewhat less mountainous with large expanses of agricultural land, coastal grassland and a greater density of small towns. The population of the Aberdeenshire Council area is approximately 240,000 with largest urban populations residing in Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Inverurie, Stonehaven, Westhill and Ellon. A large proportion of the Aberdeenshire population is involved in the off-shore oil and gas industry. A significant proportion of the population are also involved in the traditional industries of farming, forestry and fishing with approximately one third of Scotland’s agricultural produce originating in the region. The industrial and commercial areas are primarily located in the east of the Council area around Aberdeen, Stonehaven, Peterhead and Fraserburgh.

New Pitsligo & St John’s Primary School School Street New Pitsligo Fraserburgh Aberdeenshire AB43 6NE Tel: 01771 653232 Fax: 01771 653775 [email protected] www.newpitsligo-st-johns.aberdeenshire.sch.uk 19th April 2018 Dear Parents/Carers, We are really enjoying the sunny start to our new term. Please remember, if your child is likely to burn, please put sun cream on in the morning as we do not put sun cream on in school. Alas the warm weather may not stay and we can easily have four seasons in one day in our playground so it is a good idea to still being a coat every day. Reports: You will receive two copies of your child’s report. Please sign and return one copy to school. Safety: Please do not cut through the staff car park to come into the playground. There are cars coming in and out all day and so it is not a safe short cut. Also, parents are asked not to park in the staff car park as spaces are limited. Parents Evening: Parents evening takes place on Thursday 26th April and appointments will be issued shortly. After School Clubs: Football continues after school on Thursdays. Purple Mash computer club restarts for P4 – P7 pupils on Tuesdays from Tuesday 1st May 3pm – 4pm. Choir will begin for P3 - P7 pupils from 3pm – 3.45pm on Thursdays from Thursday 10th May.

The settlement is characterised by the woodland setting of Balmedie House and the long sand beaches of Balmedie Country Park. Balmedie is a key settlement in both the Energetica area and the Aberdeen to Peterhead strategic growth area (SGA). As such, Balmedie will play an important role in delivering strategic housing and employment allowances. In line with the vision of Energetica, it is expected that new development in Balmedie will contribute to transforming the area into a high quality lifestyle, leisure and global business location. Balmedie is expected to become an increasingly attractive location for development as the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route reaches completion and decreases commuting times to Aberdeen. It is important that the individual character of the village is retained in the face of increased demand. The village currently has a range of services and facilities, which should be sustained during the period of this plan. In addition, the plan will seek to improve community facilities, including new health care provision.

  • Issues Raised in Response to the Proposed Local Development Plan and Proposed Submission to Scottish Ministers Appendix 2 Settlement Comments
    ISSUES RAISED IN RESPONSE TO THE PROPOSED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PROPOSED SUBMISSION TO SCOTTISH MINISTERS APPENDIX 2 SETTLEMENT COMMENTS Shaping Buchan – Summary of Schedule 4s Minor technical changes are also proposed to improve the accuracy of information now provided by Scottish Water and SEPA (see Schedule 4 7908). “Schedule 4” documents (so named because of the requirement to follow the form specified by Schedule 4 of the relevant Regulations) have not been produced for those settlements where there have been no representations. Ardallie Main objections raised in representation Number of planned units on site OP1 should be reduced to take into account already submitted proposals. Development of site OP1 should include road upgrades. Response by Planning Authority The approved houses on site OP1 would take up part of the allocation, and no change is required. Upgrading the existing road to an adoptable standard is already required by the development brief. The section of private road heading east from site OP1 is not required to link the site to the public road network so it is not appropriate to require its upgrading. Minor technical change Remove the settlement boundary annotation (which only covers the allocated, protected and reserved sites), for consistency. Auchnagatt Main objections raised in representation Amend OP2 reference to strategic landscaping or extend site OP2 further south to the minor watercourse, so that strategic landscaping can be implemented outwith the allocated area. Response by Planning Authority The reference to strategic landscaping is only a recommendation – the most appropriate position and nature of strategic landscaping would be determined at the planning application stage.
