  • Sound of Gigha Proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment
    Marine Scotland Sound of Gigha proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment December 2020 Partial Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment Title of Proposal Sound of Gigha proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) Purpose and intended effect Background The Scottish Government is committed to a clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse marine and coastal environment that meets the long term needs of people and nature. In order to meet this commitment our seas must be managed in a sustainable manner - balancing the competing demands on marine resources. Biological and geological diversity must be protected to ensure our future marine ecosystem is capable of providing the economic and social benefits it yields today. The EU Wild Birds Directive (2009/147/EC as codified) requires Member States to classify as Special Protection Areas (SPAs) the most suitable territories for wild birds. Building on the work of the SPA Review Working Group and taking account of existing guidelines on the identification of SPAs (JNCC, 1999), Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) have identified 13 sites which they consider essential for marine SPA status. These proposals include sites supporting wintering waterfowl, important areas for red throated divers, terns, European shag and foraging seabirds. The Sound of Gigha proposed Special Protection Area (SPA) is centred around the island of Gigha, which lies some 4 kilometres (km) off the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll and Bute (Figure 1). The SPA covers a total area of 363.27km2 extending from Macrihanish Bay in the south to the entrance of Loch Caolisport off Knapdale to the North.

  • Arran, Argyll & Bute
    COURSES The GB&I Top 100 PLAY THE GB&I TOP 100 he remote location of many of Great Britain and Ireland’s finest courses means that playing them Arran, Argyll & Bute often becomes as much an ‘experience’T as it is a golf break.

Sea and air, indeed, are arguably more WORDS: Chris Bertram PHOTOGRAPHY: David Cannon, Getty useful. It would be convenient to describe our chosen area as ‘Scotland’s south west islands’. We can’t though, because three of the courses aren’t on an island – it just seems like they are. Hence, the map over the page has never been more useful. It perfectly illustrates the area we are covering as well as the extent of the challenge; a golf weekend in Southport is altogether more straightforward. But a lot less fun. Our trip takes in three main stops: the Machrihanish area near Campbeltown on mainland Scotland (albeit a slim finger of it); The Machrie on the Isle of Islay and the island of Arran. They are all fairly close to each as the crow flies but no one method of transport fits all. There are many ways to tackle the problem and GW has had experiences of two. Both were good. One option is to enlist the services of the Kintyre Express.

  • Machrihanish Airbase Development Brief
    Machrihanish Airbase Development Brief 1 Argyll and Bute Council – Development Services Machrihanish Airbase Development Brief 1. Introduction 1.1 This Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) has been prepared in recognition of the broad redevelopment opportunities now afforded at the former RAF/NATO airbase at Machrihanish. The former airbase is one of the most significant development/redevelopment opportunities within Argyll and Bute. By virtue of its scale and its prominent and accessible location, the site is considered to be of regional importance. It is considered to have the potential to deliver significant economic, environmental and social benefits and, as such, considerable care will need to be exercised in any development/redevelopment of the asset to maximise these benefits. 2. Purpose 2.1 The purpose of this brief is to set out in broad terms the planning requirements for any subsequent re-use of the assets within the base and to ensure that the economic development potential of such assets is used as far as possible to support the local economy and to maintain and provide additional jobs for the local population. This brief supplements the policies contained within the Argyll and Bute Development Plan (Structure and Local Plan). As Supplementary Guidance, this brief will be a material consideration in the determination of development proposals for the Machrihanish site. The brief will further inform the detailed ‘masterplan’ that will be prepared in order to demonstrate how any new proposals will address the requirements of both the Development Plan and the needs of the local area. 3. Site Location, Description and Disposition 3.1 The former airbase was initially closed as an operational RAF facility in 1994.

    DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES PLANNING, PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND LICENSING COMMITTEE 22 nd April 2015 ______________________________________________________________________________ MACHRIHANISH AIRBASE: MAST 1/10 and PDA 3001 and AFA 14/7 MASTERPLAN REPORT ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION Within the ‘Argyll & Bute Local Development Plan’ (March 2015) the land associated with the former RAF Machrihanish air base has been identified as a Strategic Masterplan Area for green energy/strategic business related development. The majority of the site has been designated as Area for Action 14/7 in recognition of the redevelopment and inward investment opportunities it affords. The extreme western end of the site has been designated separately as PDA 3001 for low density ‘up market’ housing development. The airfield has a history of occupation by the RAF, the US military and NATO forces. The longest runway in Scotland was constructed at the base during the 1960’s although following the end of the Cold War the base reverted to ‘care and maintenance‘ status which enabled part of that runway to become used for civilian aviation. Campbeltown Airport operated by HIAL now utilises the eastern end of the runway. Prior to total demilitarisation of the site, land surplus to MoD requirements was made available for commercial development. That included the disposal of the former military housing associated with the base (now private housing at the Sound of Kintyre) and the development within the confines of the base of large wind turbine tower manufacturing plant. Ultimately, the base was disposed of by Defence Estates in 2012 to the Machrihanish Airbase Community Company (MACC), a venture established for the purposes of acquisition, management and development.
