    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.

    Bathing Water Profile for Thurso Bay (Central)

    Bathing Water Profile for Thurso Bay (Central) Thurso, Scotland _____________ Current water classification https://www2.sepa.org.uk/BathingWaters/Classifications.aspx _____________ Description Thurso Bay (Central) bathing water is situated on the north coast of Scotland adjacent to the town of Thurso. The designated bay is less than 1 km long and extends from Rockwell Point in the west to Little Ebb in the east. The beach is popular with bathers and water sport enthusiasts. During high and low tides the approximate distance to the water’s edge can vary from 0–160 metres. The sandy beach slopes gently towards the water. Site details Local authority Highland Council Year of designation 2008 Water sampling location ND 11697 68860 EC bathing water ID UKS7616085 Catchment description The catchment draining into the Thurso bathing water extends to 487 km2. The catchment varies in topography from hills (maximum elevation 440 metres) in the south to the low-lying land (average elevation 5 metres) along the coast. The main river within the bathing water catchment is the River Thurso which discharges to the east of the designated bathing water. Land use in the catchment is mainly split between rural land and bog. The principal rural land uses in the area are improved grassland (14%), shrub (12%) and coniferous woodland (10%). The upper catchment around Halkirk is mainly sheep farming with beef farming around Thurso. Less than one percent of the bathing water catchment is urban. The main population centre is the town of Thurso situated adjacent to the bathing water. Population density outside of Thurso is generally low (Map 2).

  • HORSE MUSSEL BEDS Image Map

    HORSE MUSSEL BEDS Image Map

    PRIORITY MARINE FEATURE (PMF) - FISHERIES MANAGEMENT REVIEW Feature HORSE MUSSEL BEDS Image Map Image: Rob Cook Description Characteristics - Horse mussels (Modiolus modiolus) may occur as isolated individuals or aggregated into beds in the form of scattered clumps, thin layers or dense raised hummocks or mounds, with densities reaching up to 400 individuals per m2 (Lindenbaum et al., 2008). Individuals can grow to lengths >150 mm and live for >45 years (Anwar et al., 1990). The mussels attach to the substratum and to each other using tough threads (known as byssus) to create a distinctive biogenic habitat (or reef) that stabilises seabed sediments and can extend over several hectares. Silt, organic waste and shell material accumulate within the structure and further increase the bed height. In this way, horse mussel beds significantly modify sedimentary habitats and provide substrate, refuge and ecological niches for a wide variety of organisms. The beds increase local biodiversity and may provide settling grounds for commercially important bivalves, such as queen scallops. Fish make use of both the higher production of benthic prey and the added structural complexity (OSPAR, 2009). Definition - Beds are formed from clumps of horse mussels and shells covering more than 30% of the seabed over an area of at least 5 m x 5 m. Live adult horse mussels must be present. The horse mussels may be semi-infaunal (partially embedded within the seabed sediments - with densities of greater than 5 live individuals per m2) or form epifaunal mounds (standing clear of the substrate with more than 10 live individuals per clump) (Morris, 2015).

  • Discover Thurso Tourism Workshops—Learning Summary

    Discover Thurso Tourism Workshops—Learning Summary

    Discover Thurso Tourism Workshops—Learning Summary Workshop Purpose The rationale behindLocalisation Workshops is to connect the peo- ple who interact with our visitors to the information than can enhance their time here and create a better sense of Thurso. Ever heard someone say Thurso under-sells itself? Discover Thurso workshops aim to empower people to not only sell the town, but to champion Thurso’s tourism offering. Why Localisation No other organisation across Scotland is responsible for or even qualified to specifically promote Thurso; it’s something we have to do ourselves. Many of our visitors may just be passing through on the NC500, or staying 1-night before heading to Orkney, but they’re a captive audience—they’re looking for things like golden sand beaches, 2,000 year old monuments, castles, whisky, Scottish food, the Northern Lights, traditional music and so on. Things we can offer readily. If we localise our knowledge and our conversations with tourists—that is, to focus them on Thurso— we’re spreading a positive message about the town to people who, even if they don’t come back to Scotland one day, will definitely be telling friends about wee places that caught their eye on the way round. What you can do… 1. Engage Tourists—Dornoch scores incredibly well when it asks its visitors whether they’d consider returning to the town, in large part to their hospitality. They asked their visitors what the most positive aspect to their stay in Dornoch was—the answer? Engaging with friendly locals. 2. Know the town, make recommendations—A Thurso bartender recently made a couple’s day when she was able to recommend Wolfburn and Dunnet Bay Distillery tours as activities for a rainy day.
