  • Updating and Screening Assessment 2012
    2012 Air Quality Updating and Screening Assessment for Scottish Borders Council In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management April 2012 Scottish Borders Council Local Authority David A Brown Officer Department Environment & Infrastructure Council Offices, Rosetta Road, Peebles, Address EH45 8HG Telephone 01721 726 358 ext 6462 e-mail [email protected] Report Reference SBC/USA/2011/1 number Date May 2012 Scottish Borders Council USA 2012 1 Scottish Borders Council Executive Summary Scottish Borders Council undertakes a program of Air Quality Assessment in accordance with the Guidance produced by the UK Government and Devolved Administrations. Reports are produced annually on a rolling program. Earlier rounds of review and assessment have shown that the main industrial pollutants are unlikely to exceed the UK Air Quality Objectives at any location within the Council’s area. And that only NO2 from road traffic and PM10 from domestic fuel consumption still required to be considered. A Detailed Assessment of PM10 levels was subsequently undertaken at a location agreed with the Scottish Government and Scottish Environmental Protection Agency as a worst possible case. This work has shown that no part of the Councils area was at risk of exceeding the Air Quality Objective for PM10. As part of the air quality monitoring programme, the Council monitored nitrogen dioxide (NO2) using diffusion tubes at 19 different locations. The monitoring of NO2 has shown no exceedences of the NO2 Objectives, with levels on average decreasing annually. In 2010 the number of sites was reduced to 14 with the background sites at Peebles, Kelso and Melrose being discontinued.

  • 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.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

The popularity of our annual Highland Archaeology Festival goes on from strength to strength. We aim to celebrate our shared history, heritage and archaeology and showcase the incredible heritage on our doorsteps as well as the importance of protecting this for future generations. The educational and economic benefits that this can bring to communities cannot be overstated. New research is being carried out daily by both local groups and universities as well as in advance of construction. Highland Council is committed to letting everyone have access to the results of this work, either through our Historic Environment Record (HER) website or through our programme of events for the festival. Our keynote talks this year provide a great illustration of the significance of Highland research to the wider, national picture. These lectures, held at the council chamber in Inverness, will cover the prehistoric period, the early medieval and the industrial archaeology of more recent times.

  • Settlement Profile Jedburgh
    SETTLEMENT PROFILE JEDBURGH HOUSING MARKET AREA LOCALITY POPULATION Central Cheviot 4,030 PLACEMAKING CONSIDERATIONS The historic settlement of Jedburgh was built either side of the Jed Water which runs on a north-south axis, and is framed by Lanton Hill (280 metres) and Black Law (338 metres) to the west and south west and by lower more undulating hills to the east. The Conservation Area of Jedburgh includes much of the historic core of the town including the Abbey and the Castle Gaol. Similar to Edinburgh Old Town in its layout, Jedburgh has a long street that rises terminating with the castle at the highest point. The High Street is characterised by a mix of commercial, residential and social facilities, the central area is focused around where the Mercat Cross once sat with roads leading off in various directions. Properties within the Conservation Area are built in rows with some detached properties particularly along Friarsgate. Ranging from two to three and a half storeys in height, properties vary in styles. Although the elements highlighted above are important and contribute greatly to the character of Jedburgh they do not do so in isolation. Building materials and architectural details are also just as important. Sandstone, some whinstone, harling, and slate all help to form the character. Architectural details such as sash and case windows (though there are some unfortunate uPVC replacements), rybats, margins, detailed door heads above some entrances and in some instances pilasters all add to the sense of place. Any new development must therefore aim to contribute to the existing character of the Conservation Area.
