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.

DESCRIPTION Allanton is located just over 7 miles from Duns and just under 10 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed. The population of Allanton in the 2001 Census was 86. The village is located within the Eastern Strategic Development Area (SDA) as defined by the SESplan. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Allanton is located above the riverbanks of the Blackadder Water and Whiteadder Water which meet just north of the village. The character of Allanton is largely defined by the fact that it developed as an estate village of Blackadder House; splay fronted lodges display the old entrance and the village has developed around them in a linear fashion along the road.

  • 7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This Is A
    7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This is a ‘wash-up’ section, in which I look briefly at a number of small streams, mostly called burns, which flow directly to the sea or the Firth of Forth, but which in terms of discharge rate are mainly an order of magnitude smaller than the rivers looked at so far. For each, I give a short account of the course and pick out a few features of interest, presenting photographs as seems appropriate. Starting furthest to the east, the streams dealt with are as follows: 1. Dunglas Burn 2. Thornton Burn 3. Spott Burn 4. Biel Water 5. East Peffer Burn 6. West Peffer Burn 7. Niddrie Burn 8. Braid Burn 9. Midhope Burn As shall become clear, some of these streams change their names more than once along their lengths and most are formed at the junction of other named streams, but hopefully any confusion will be resolved in the accounts which follow. 7.1 The Dunglas Burn The stream begins life as the Oldhamstocks Burn which collects water from a number of springs on Monynut Edge, the eastern flank of the Lammermuir Hills. No one of these feeders dominates, so the source is taken as where the name Oldhamstocks Burn appears, at grid point NT 713 699, close to the 200m contour. After flowing c3km east, the name changes to the Dunglas Burn which flows slightly north-east in a deep, steep- sided valley for just over 7km to reach the sea. For the downstream part of its course the burn is the boundary between the Lothians and the Scottish Borders, but upstream it flows in the former region.

  • 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.
