  • Planning & Building Standards Committee ITEM 6 SCOTTISH
    ITEM 6 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT CONSULTATION UNDER SECTION 36 OF THE ELECTRICITY ACT 1989 – PROPOSED WIND FARM AT EARLSHAUGH – REVISED SCHEME AND SUPPLEMENTARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT BY HEAD OF PLANNING AND REGULATORY SERVICES PLANNING AND BUILDING STANDARDS COMMITTEE 14 NOVEMBER 2011 1 PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 To advise the Scottish Government of the response from Scottish Borders Council on the Supplementary Environmental Information submitted in relation to a reduced scheme by Wind Energy (Earlshaugh) Ltd under Section 36 of the Electricity Act (Scotland) Regulations 2000 and deemed planning permission under Section 57 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, for a wind farm comprising 24 wind turbines and ancilliary equipment in the Earlshaugh area of the Tweed Valley. 2 PROCEDURE 2.1 The Scottish Government process applications for wind energy developments exceeding 50MW generating capacity but consult relevant Local Authorities for their views on such proposals. They advertise the application and have carried out direct consultation with other interested bodies. They have also followed this procedure for the revised scheme and the Supplementary Environmental Information. There is, therefore, no need for Scottish Borders Council to undertake a tandem process although consultation has taken place with relevant officers within the Council. 3 BACKGROUND TO REPORT 3.1 The original Section 36 application was considered in November 2008 by the Planning and Building Standards Committee and the full report is attached to this report as a detailed reference. The Council concluded that they should object to the original scheme for the following reasons: The proposed development would be contrary to policy I20 of the Scottish Borders Structure Plan 2001-2011 and Policy D4 – Renewable Energy Development of the Scottish Borders Local Plan 2008 in that the erection of 36 wind turbines and associated equipment would have an unacceptable adverse impact on the landscape character of the surrounding area.

  • A Strategy for Public Transport 2020 - 2035
    Keeping Edinburgh MOVING A Strategy for Public Transport 2020 - 2035 December 2019 Keeping Edinburgh MOVING The City is Slowing Down Edinburgh is suffering from worsening traffic congestion which delays buses and hinders efforts to curb the growth in car use. Unlike many other large UK cities which have well-developed suburban rail services, Edinburgh’s public transport is provided mostly by buses using the same roads as general traffic, resulting in low average speeds. A top priority for the city over the next few years must be to accelerate public transport journeys. 119.2 million passenger journeys were made on Lothian Buses in 2018, a decrease from 121.1 million in 2017, which the company’s directors attributed to slower journeys because of congestion and changes in travel patterns. These figures compare with the 212.3 million journeys made in the year to May 1962, despite competition from Scottish Omnibuses – highlighting the fact that city bus usage has almost halved over 55 years, while the population has grown from 464,000 to 518,000 people. The council’s recently-approved City Centre Transformation Strategy seeks to achieve a step-change in the quality of the environment of Edinburgh City Centre with a range of schemes to be pursued over the next ten years. Successful delivery of many aspects of the strategy will depend on a substantial reduction in the levels of traffic movement within the city centre. The strategy assumes a 25% reduction in vehicle movement, but is not linked to any wider programme of action to achieve significant modal shift from private car to public transport across the city.
