Proposal : Relocation of Ardmaddy fish farm - comprising 12 No. 100m circumference cages plus installation of feed barge Site Address : Port Na Morachd, Seil Sound DECISION ROUTE Local Government Scotland Act 1973 (A) THE APPLICATION (i) Development Requiring Express Planning Permission • Formation of Marine Salmon Fish Farm comprising 12 No. 100m circumference cages, walkways, mooring grid and associated lines, • Installation of feed barge; • Installation of underwater lighting. (ii) Other specified operations • Servicing from existing shore bases at Loch Craignish and Croabh Haven; • Removal of 18 No. 24m x 24m steel cages from existing site at Ardmaddy North and relinquishment of lease. (B) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that permission be granted subject to: i) a pre-determination hearing be convened in response to the number and complexity of the representations received; ii) the conditions and reasons set out in this report. (C) CONSULTATIONS: Scottish Environment Protection Agency (27.07.11 & 11.12.12) – In order to address the likelihood of significant effects upon the Firth of Lorn Special Area of Conservation (SAC) SEPA will require to undertake a Habitats Directive ‘appropriate assessment’ as part of its Controlled Activities Regulations (CAR) licence application, and until this Page 2 process is completed it is not possible to say whether the biomass proposed will be licensable under CAR. Subsequent response in 2012 confirming that a CAR licence has been granted and supplying a copy of the ‘appropriate assessment’ undertaken by SEPA in support of that consent. Comment: Pollution control is exercised by SEPA and government advice to planning authorities is not to seek to use the planning process to duplicate other regulatory regimes. Where multiple consents are necessary there is no prescribed order in which they should be obtained. However, in view of the importance of potential pollution effects upon protected habitats and species in this particular case, and given the large numbers of representations to the planning application being related to pollution issues, the applicants were advised by planning officers to agree to this planning application being held in abeyance, in order to allow them to pursue a CAR licence application in advance of the determination of the planning application, so that that the consequences of pollution could be assessed by the appropriate agency and conclusions reached, outwith the planning process. An application was duly submitted and processed by SEPA, who undertook a Habitats Regulations ‘appropriate assessment’ in the consideration of that application. In view of the number of adverse third party representations to the CAR licence application, the intended decision by SEPA was the subject of review by Scottish Ministers before being issued. No intervention in the intended course of action arose as a consequence of this and a CAR licence was duly granted. Scottish Natural Heritage (28.08.11 & 26.02.13) – in view of the likely significant effect on the Firth of Lorn Special Area of Conservation the planning authority is advised to undertake an ‘appropriate assessment’ having regard to the conservation objectives of the SAC addressing the transport of organic wastes and chemotherapeutants from the site. Further comment will be made once the AA has been concluded. In terms of European protected species the proposal has the potential to affect otters and cetaceans. It is not expected that the site would affect otters significantly. The deployment of acoustic deterrent devices to deter seals could have consequences for porpoises as whilst research indicates that they will avoid areas where ADD’s are in operation (but will return once they are switched off), continuous operation could have the effect of excluding them from the Sound. SNH consent should therefore be required for the deployment of ADD’s at this location. Whilst the faunal analysis of the seabed shows a relatively diverse and abundant community no benthic impacts prejudicial to national interests have been identified. Predators such as seals, otters and pisciverous birds are common in this locality. The applicant considers that double nets are impractical in this location due to strong tidal currents and SNH concurs that tensioned nets with anti-chafe panels as employed at many other sites will be sufficient to minimise risk of escapes. The applicant’s predator control plans and risk assessments require some updating (subsequently completed). Whilst there are no salmon rivers within 15km, sea trout will frequent the area year round. Sea lice treatments to SSPO Code of Good Practice Standards and operation in accordance with the local Farm Management Agreement will minimise impacts on wild fish, as will the intended use of well boats for chemical treatments, rather than the more traditional tarpaulin method employed at the existing site. White cluster anemone is present in the vicinity of the site and the SEPA CAR assessment should address consequences for this Priority Marine Species. In terms of landscape impacts as the proposal does not affect any national designations SNH has no objections on landscape, visual or recreational/amenity grounds. Localised impacts could be reduced by repositioning the barge to the south end of the site where it would be better screened by higher ground on Torsa to the west . Whilst the area is frequented by tour boats, yachts and kayaks and the development will give rise to Page 3 localised impacts these are not considered to be such that they will significantly affect the overall experience of the Sound and the wider Firth of Lorn. Following the production of the Council’s draft ‘appropriate assessment’ SNH has confirmed its satisfaction with the content. Comment: The option of relocating the feed barge to the southern end of the site has been resisted by the applicants, as for operational reasons a barge location at the least exposed end of the site is preferable as it presents less risk to containment in the event of the barge moorings being compromised in storm conditions. The applicants have however agreed to reduce the scale of the barge from 26m x 18 m to 14m x 10m in order to lessen its visual impact and amended plans to that effect have been submitted. Marine Scotland Science (02.08.11) – No objection. Note the intention to use well boats for sea lice treatments and the potential to use Wrasse as a supplementary means of lice control. There are no major Atlantis salmon fisheries within 15km so wild salmonids in this area are likely to be marine phase sea trout throughout the year and migrating salmon. Provided the site is operated in accordance with the existing Farm Management Agreement for the area, in accordance with the SSPO Good Practice Guidelines and the necessary steps are taken to control lice numbers and to maintain equipment to minimise risk of escapes, then impacts upon wild fish will be minimised. It is recommended that it should be a condition of any consent that the existing site at Ardmaddy North is relinquished. Argyll & District Salmon Fishery Board (11.07.11) – No specific objections but it is noted that the development involves a significant increase in biomass and that it would be preferable for this to be maintained in the initial period following relocation to enable the applicant to demonstrate that SSPO Code of Good Practice sea lice levels can be achieved. In the event of an approval, it should be a requirement that the current site be closed and the lease surrendered. Historic Scotland – response awaited. Northern Lighthouse Board (08.07.11) – no objection but advice given as to navigation marking and

  • SMALL BLUE in ANGUS – 2012 SURVEY SUMMARY
    SMALL BLUE in ANGUS – 2012 SURVEY SUMMARY Compiled by Duncan Davidson, East Scotland Branch, Butterfly Conservation Introduction The Small Blue is a UKBAP priority species, which has suffered severe declines in recent decades. This project was set up to help understand the butterfly’s status in Angus and to achieve the following aims over a five year period: gain a definitive view of the distribution of the butterfly and its foodplant, Kidney Vetch identify new and potential sites generate awareness with landowners and others develop plans for the conservation and extension of colonies 2012 was the first year of the project, when it was planned to survey historical sites and identify potential action sites. As a first step, the county was divided into survey areas and volunteers chose particular areas of interest. This was initiated at a volunteer training day in Arbroath, where there was a enthusiastic turnout of 14 volunteers. The following survey areas were designated: Barry Buddon & Carnoustie East Haven to Elliot Seaton Cliffs Lunan Bay, Ethie to Usan Montrose & Kinnaber Friockheim to Balgavies Forfar Glamis Barry Buddon & Carnoustie Because Barry Buddon is a military site, access can be difficult and it was planned that survey work would take place during the annual visit arranged through Dundee Nats and others, on 24 June. In the event, there were five separate sightings of Small Blue and one volunteer recorded Kidney Vetch in a number of other areas. It took one volunteer five visits to Carnoustie dunes before he saw a handful of Small Blue butterflies on 19 June, so sometimes perseverance is required.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Angus Coastal Festival Programme
    Explore Scotland’s Undiscovered Coast ANGUS COASTAL FESTIVAL 7-17 September 2018 PROGRAMME OF EVENTS Welcome If you need an excuse to explore one of Scotland’s hidden corners, to discover the county’s rich natural history, explore golden beaches, rock pools, wide expanses of sand dunes and flower-strewn cliffs, then please join our Angus Coastal Festival events between 7th and 17th September! Angus is famous for its abundant wildlife – puffins and Small Blue butterflies in the summer, migrant birds in the autumn, roaming whales and dolphins, thrift and kidney vetch. Its diversity is unparalleled on the North Sea coast. There are few crowds, the weather can be mild, the wildlife is sublime and the places to explore are outstanding. Our very first Angus Coastal Festival will highlight some of the hidden - and not so hidden – corners, encouraging you to look deeper and take home some special memories, whether your home is nearby or many miles away. Everyone is welcome to join in the events, from spotting wildlife with youngsters, enjoying a guided cycle ride, joining the beach cleans being organised by local communities all-round the coast, listening to a myriad of talks or enjoying the exhibitions.
