3 November 2015 Aberdeenshire Local Item 6 Page 1 Infrastructure Services REPORT TO MARR AREA COMMITTEE – 3 NOVEMBER 2015 ABERDEENSHIRE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016: ISSUES RAISED IN RESPONSE TO THE PROPOSED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PROPOSED SUBMISSION TO SCOTTISH MINISTERS 1. Recommendation The Committee is recommended to: 1.1 Consider the draft “Schedule 4” documents on Aberdeenshire Council’s proposed response to issues raised to the proposed Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan and submit comments to Infrastructure Services Committee. 2. Background 2.1 Aberdeenshire Council is required to prepare and approve a Local Development Plan under the terms of Section 16 (1) of part 2 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The stages for preparing a Local Development Plan are advised in the Development Plan Scheme 2015 which was approved by Infrastructure Services Committee on 19 March 2015. A copy of the Development Plan Scheme was circulated to all Members. 2.2 Aberdeenshire Council agreed to publish the Proposed Local Development Plan on 12 March 2015 as the settled view of the Council. Prior to this meeting, all Members have been engaged with the Local Development Plan process. This included the identification of issues for the new plan through the Main Issues Report and also the consideration of responses through Area Committees and Infrastructure Services Committee. 2.3 The Infrastructure Services Committee, at meetings on 25 June 2014 and 27 November 2014, confirmed the general content of the Proposed Plan. Following further consultation with Area Committees, Aberdeenshire Council agreed on 12 March 2015 to publish the Proposed Local Development Plan. 2.4 In accordance with the decision of Full Council on 12 March 2015, the Proposed Local Development Plan was published on 27 March 2015 with a closing date for receipt of comments being 8 May 2015. 2.5 Having published and consulted on the Proposed Plan the planning authority must prepare responses to any issues that have been raised and have not been resolved. A summary of the unresolved issues has to be prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements and these are known as “Schedule 4 summary of unresolved issues” It should be noted that 897 responses to the Proposed Plan were received, generating 1778 issues. 2.6 The next stage of the Local Development Plan process is the Examination and the Schedule 4s form the basis of the analysis by the Reporter (a person appointed by the Scottish Minister and a member of staff from the DPEA) who will carry out the Examination. Item 6 Page 2 2.7 The Schedule 4s for the policies and settlements relevant to the Area Committee are attached as Appendices 1 and 2. In order to assist Members a series of summaries of some of the most relevant issues raised are contained in the first pages of the Appendices. 3. Discussion 3.1 As indicated in paragraph 2.2 of this Report, the Proposed Local Development Plan is the settled view of Council. Members are therefore not being asked to comment on the Plan itself, but on the Schedule 4s which are the Council’s reply to the issues raised by those who responded to the consultation. Were the Plan to be altered in any significant way at this stage it would result in the amended Plan, being consulted on again together with neighbour notification. Given the timescales involved to carry this out Aberdeenshire Council would have a period of not having an up-to-date Local Development Plan which would have serious consequences. 3.2 These consequences relate to the Council being vulnerable at planning appeals on unallocated sites. This would affect the Council’s relationship with communities who expect development to take place on the sites consulted on and allocated in the Plan and for development to be in accordance with the adopted policies. Development on unallocated sites could have serious consequences for road infrastructure and traffic management as well as school roll forecasts and the provision of education facilities all with potentially serious financial consequences for the Council. 3.3 In assessing the submissions received to the Proposed Plan there were a number of occasions where points were made that effectively provided updated factual information. Following discussion with the DPEA, it was agreed that as these points could be used to update the Plan without requiring consultation and statutory neighbour notification to take place. They will be put to the Reporter as “non-notifiable modifications”. Members will see a number of such non-notifiable modifications throughout the Schedule 4s. For example, The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), in particular, provided substantial updated information regarding flood risk for individual sites based on an improved flooding model published in early 2015. 3.4 Members will also note that on a few occasions “technical” changes are noted in the Schedule 4s and these are situations where it is necessary to reflect updated information that is unrelated to any submissions made on the Plan e.g. where a start has been made on a site with planning permission. 3.5 All Area Committees are being asked for their comments on the contents of the Schedule 4s and the comments received will be forwarded to the Infrastructure Services Committee who will be asked to endorse the Schedule 4s as the basis for Officers to defend the Proposed Local Development Plan as agreed by Full Council on 12 March 2015. Extracts from the minutes of Area Committee meetings (or draft minutes as in the case of Buchan and Garioch Area Committees) will be circulated as part of the papers with links to other relevant documents that will be submitted to the Examination e.g. Action Programme, a report on conformity with the Participation Statement within the Development Plan Scheme, and a Habitats Regulation Appraisal Record. Item 6 Page 3 3.6 The Head of Finance and Monitoring Officer within Business Services have been consulted and any comments by them incorporated within this Report. 4. Equalities, Staffing and Financial Implications 4.1 There are no equalities implications relating to this report that fall out with the normal service delivery for the Planning Service. 4.2 There are no staffing or financial implications arising as a direct consequence of this Report. The Policy Team of the Planning and Building Standards Service has sufficient resource to deal with the Local Development Plan Examination. Stephen Archer Director of Infrastructure Services Report prepared by Piers Blaxter, Team Leader 15 September 2015 Item 6 Page 4 ISSUES RAISED IN RESPONSE TO THE PROPOSED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PROPOSED SUBMISSION TO SCOTTISH MINISTERS APPENDIX 1: POLICY COMMENTS Summary of Schedule 4s: Policies ISSUE 1 OMISSIONS FROM THE PLAN Main objections raised in representations There is a deficit of discussion and evidence in the plan. Greater policy coverage of air quality issues should be included. Broadband and digital infrastructure requires a higher profile. Roll out plans for digital infrastructure should be included. This is supported by Scottish Planning Policy (SPP). Response The evidence base for the plan is included in the Main Issues Report (MIR) position papers and the Monitoring Report. Air quality issues were addressed through the site allocation process. SPP does not restate policy and guidance set out elsewhere. SPP is a significant material consideration and it is inappropriate to repeat national policy in the local development plan (LDP) when it is clearly stated. SPP seeks the LDP to encourage developers to explore opportunities for the provision of digital infrastructure to new homes and business premises. This is not a mandatory requirement. Infrastructure providers cannot predict their roll out plans for the next 10 years due to the rate of technological change, and in any case BT plc is committed to deliver access to fibre broadband to at least 96% of premises outwith the Highlands and Islands area by the end of 2017. List of non-notifiable modifications No change is required. ISSUE 2 INFLUENCES ON THE PLAN Main objections raised in representations The plan should provide greater clarity in relation to its strategic context. Greater policy coverage of air quality issues should be included. Consideration should be made of the National Marine Plan. The plan should support the delivery of the relevant River Basin Management Plan for the area. Response The strategic context is rightly contained in the Aberdeen City and Shire Strategic Development Plan (the SDP). Air quality issues were addressed through the site allocation process. Discussions with Marine Scotland and examination of Scotland’s National Marine Plan show that issues likely to arise which require alignment have been addressed. The River Dee Catchment Management Plan articulates the need to maintain the water quality of burns and streams in the Dee catchment, but only one of the actions relates to land use planning matters under specific control of the ALDP. List of non-notifiable modifications References to the Scottish National Marine Plan and river basin management processes could be added to the list of bullet points on page 5. ISSUE 3 VISION OF THE PLAN Main objections raised in representations More clarity is required on how Aberdeenshire Council will balance the need to support economic growth with protecting the environment and addressing climate change. Item 6 Page 5 The aim on green networks should be modified to stress the benefits derived from maintaining and enhancing water features and ensuring their connectivity. Additional aims should support community groups to buy land for the benefit of the community and support town centres. Aims relating to quality of life, protection and improvement of our natural and cultural heritage, creation of sustainable mixed communities and making the best use of our transport system are unnecessary and should be removed as they are already dealt with in the SDP.

  • 3 Alternatives Considered
    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement Part A: The Scheme 3 Alternatives Considered 3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 This chapter provides an outline of the development of the AWPR including an overview of the assessment work that has been undertaken in the selection of a preferred route and a summary of the objectives of the proposed scheme. 3.2 Background 3.2.1 As described in Chapter 2 (Need for the Scheme), a peripheral route around Aberdeen has been considered since the 1950s, and in the 1990s a western leg route corridor was proposed (the Western Peripheral Route; WPR). The WPR as identified by Grampian Regional Council and its successor authorities was subsequently extended to link with the A90 north of Aberdeen by NESTRANS. The route corridor comprising the WPR and this additional link was named the AWPR and in April 2003 was adopted and promoted by the Scottish Executive as a Trunk Road within a funding partnership of the Scottish Executive, Aberdeen City Council, and Aberdeenshire Council. 3.2.2 The AWPR was refined within this corridor from April 2003 until December 2004, when Transport Scotland requested that consideration be given to additional corridors. In December 2005, following consideration of the alternative corridors, including public consultation held in Spring 2005, the Minister for Transport announced that the AWPR would be taken forward on the Milltimber Brae Route with a Fastlink to Stonehaven. 3.2.3 Various options have been considered at each of the stages described above. The option consideration process included production of many reports and papers that set out the engineering, economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages of alternative routes and corridors.

  • August 2019 Newsletter
    August 2019 Newsletter Firstly, thanks very much to you all for your interest and joining Grampian Cycle Partnership! We have been overwhelmed by the many really kind and supportive comments we have received to date. We are absolutely committed to working positively for cycling across the north east. GCP truly believe we can encourage more people to take up cycling or cycle more by working constructively together with the army of committed and enthusiastic people already doing some fantastic pieces of work across the City, Shire and Moray. Over the last few months, GCP has been meeting with partners and other stakeholders on several projects as well as being involved in ongoing cycling issues for the region. We are taking this time to review what’s going on and tell you what we have been up to. We genuinely think it’s an exciting time for cycling in the area and GCP’s partners have been at the forefront. Please find below some information on what we’ve been involved with so far. Westhill to Aberdeen cycle path An initial open meeting was held with cyclists who use this path to discuss the issues and set up a working project group to document these issues and work with the councils to develop the improvements to this important corridor. This cycle path continues to be among the busiest routes in the whole of the north east. Stonehaven to Aberdeen cycle path At our last meeting we committed to form a similar group for the links to and from the City from the south.

  • KN001 Land at Burnside Croft, Drumlithie
    ABERDEENSHIRE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2021 LAND AT BURNSIDE CROFT DRUMLITHIE PROPOSED SMALL SCALE HOUSING SITE Introduction The welcomes the opportunity of early engagement with Aberdeenshire Council regarding the preparation of the next Local Development Plan. In this regard the has been commissioned by to bring to the attention of the Planning Authority the opportunity for a limited extension of the settlement boundary of Drumlithie. A site plan accompanies this ‘bid’. Background The site was considered through the Examination process associated with the current Local Development Plan. In this regard it is useful to consider the comments of the Reporter. He concluded: “4. This modest triangular site falls within the protected land designation P1, which is intended “to conserve the woodland corridor and amenity area for the village”. The site does have a rather unkempt appearance, and given it relates well to the village and site OP1 I consider that a modest development which retained the trees adjacent to the burn, together with the two mature trees on the western boundary of the site, would not compromise the integrity of the P1 designation. 5. Whilst I find the site does have some planning merit, the inclusion of this site is unjustified as a structured environmental assessment process has not been undertaken, nor is there evidence of public engagement, contrary to paragraph 118 of Circular 6/2013 ‘Development Planning’. On this basis no modifications are recommended. There is however scope for a small‐scale proposal on the site to be considered through the development management process, in the context of policy R2.” Clearly, the Reporter had some sympathy for my client.

The hotel was surrounded by a very large garden full of greenery and, as in many other parts of the world, it was used for the wedding photographs. Now, being Ethiopia, we are not talking about (relatively) well behaved groups of relatives being marshalled into formal groups.

    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall.
