  • RSPB Scotland
    RSPB Scotland Letter Writing Briefing Last Chance for Scotland’s Seabirds Our seabirds are the fastest declining group of bird species globally. In Scotland, coastal cliff-tops that were once immense seabird 'cities' have been left like eerily silent ghost towns. The problem will continue to worsen unless the Scottish Government takes action now. The Government is proposing 33 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) that will protect some of Scotland’s most amazing marine wildlife, but unfortunately they ignore those most in need of protection - Scotland’s seabirds. MPAs have been proposed in different locations around Scotland’s coast and out at sea. These areas will protect important species and habitats from marine activities that could harm them. MPAs will do a lot to help Scotland’s seas, and the many creatures within them, but unfortunately, they will do nothing for the majority of Scotland’s seabirds. The Scottish Government argue that seabirds are already adequately protected, but this is not the case. We have seen terrible declines in many seabird populations over the last ten years and scientists predict that we could see seabirds go extinct from some parts of the country within the next ten years. We need MPAs that protect areas of national importance for our iconic seabirds, not just areas of European importance, which is currently the case. The proposals for MPAs must be improved. The Scottish Government must designate all the proposed MPAs but also add seabirds to the list of species to be protected. In addition, the Firth of Forth Banks Complex proposed MPA must have sandeels added to the list of species to be protected.

  • Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015
    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.

  • Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan Report by Director of Development and Infrastructure
    1 The Highland Council Agenda 9. Item Sutherland County Committee Report CC/ Caithness Committee No 16/16 30 August 2016 31 August 2016 Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan Report by Director of Development and Infrastructure Summary This report presents a summary of issues raised in comments received on the Proposed Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) and seeks approval for the Council’s response to these issues and next steps. In accordance with the Council’s Scheme of Delegation, the two Local Committees are asked to consider the report and decide on these matters. The recommended Council position is to defend the Proposed Plan, subject to only minor modifications, which would mean that the next stage would be submission to Ministers and progression to Examination. Other options would involve further consultation on a Modified Plan. The report explains the implications of each way forward. 1. Background 1.1 The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three area local development plans to be prepared by the Highland Council. Together with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and more detailed Supplementary Guidance, CaSPlan will form part of the Council’s Development Plan against which planning decisions will be made in the Caithness and Sutherland area. 1.2 The Proposed Plan consultation for CaSPlan ran from 22 January to 18 March 2016. Around 201 organisations or individuals responded, raising around 636 comments. This includes a few comments received on the associated Proposed Action Programme. All these comments have been published on the development plans consultation portal consult.highland.gov.uk.

  • The Essex Biodiversity Action Plan
    THE ESSEX BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN In much of Essex we can still enjoy a great richness of wildlife. Bluebell woods , open meadows with butterflies, birds in our urban gardens, river valleys winding through farmland, and a spectacular coastline .Wild animals and plants surrounding us in our countryside and gardens enhance our quality of life and, together with the habitats and communities they form, help us define what we mean by Essex. This is the biodiversity of Essex ; we so easily take this for granted but action is required if it is to be maintained and enhanced. What is BIODIVERSITY? “Biodiversity : the variety of life.- Biodiversity is all living things, from the tiny garden ant to the giant redwood tree. You will find biodiversity everywhere, in window boxes and wild woods, roadsides and rainforests, snow fields and seashore .” ( Biodiversity : The UK Steering Group Report 1995) Biological Diversity, or biodiversity, is the variety of life that is all around us and all over the world. It encompasses all living things from microscopic organisms to the largest trees. Not just exotic, rare and endangered plants and animals are included, but also those that are found in back gardens, parks and ponds. Biodiversity is also the assemblages of species and their surroundings that we call habitats. Biodiversity is everywhere and we rely on it for our survival. Global Biodiversity and the Rio Challenge In June 1992 leaders of over 150 countries gathered together in Rio de Janeiro for the ‘Earth Summit’. At this conference environmental issues and concerns were addressed, including the loss of the world’s biodiversity.

INTRODUCTION 1 2. STRATEGIC & POLICY CONTEXT 4 3. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BOROUGH 6 4. KEY PRINCIPLES 7 5. RELATIONSHIP WITH CORE STRATEGY VISION, 7 OBJECTIVES & ISSUES 6. SITE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS 8 7. MONITORING & IMPLEMENTATION 19 8. NEXT STEPS 19 APPENDICES 20 GLOSSARY OF TERMS REFERENCE LIST INTERNAL DRAFT VERSION JUNE 2006 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 We would like to get your views on future development and planning of Thurrock to 2021. A new system of “Spatial Planning” has been introduced that goes beyond traditional land-use planning and seeks to integrate the various uses of land with the various activities that people use land for. The new spatial plans must involve wider community consultation and involvement and be based on principles of sustainable development. 1.2 The main over-arching document within the LDF portfolio is the Core Strategy. This sets out the vision, objectives and strategy for the development of the whole area of the borough. The Site Specific Allocations and Policies is very important as it underpins the delivery of the Core Strategy. It enables the public to be consulted on the various specific site proposals that will guide development in accordance with the Core Strategy. 1.3 Many policies in the plans will be implemented through the day-to-day control of development through consideration of planning applications. This document also looks at the range of such Development Control policies that might be needed.

  • Site Improvement Plan Essex Estuaries
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Essex Estuaries Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.
