Main Issues Report Document

Potential Development Options – Volume 3 Lochgelly to Wormit (includes Landward Area at end)

January 2013

DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

All potential development sites, submitted by the end of the call for sites period (6th April 2012), and other sites that we considered could have development potential are listed in this document. The number of development options submitted far exceeded the number required for the FIFEplan.

We have carried out an initial site assessment of all the sites and highlighted any that we thought should not be assessed further. The reasons for this are noted on the individual site forms. Further investigation and assessment will be carried out before sites are identified for inclusion in the FIFEplan.

All sites listed in this document are included for information only as supporting information for the Environmental Report version 1. There is an opportunity to comment on the sites through the FIFEplan consultation running 14th January – 10th March 2013.

The sites are listed by settlement in alphabetical order. Those sites that are not located close to a settlement are included in the Landward section.

No potential development sites were submitted to Fife Council for the following settlements and so these settlements have not been included in this document:

Anstruther & Cellardyke Cupar Muir Lundin Links Arncroach Dunshalt Luthrie Auchtertool East Wemyss Methil Baintown Fordell Methilhill Ballingry Foodieash Mossgreen Balmalcolm Gateside Mount Melville Balmerino Grange of Lindores Newport on Tay Blebo Craigs Guardbridge New Gilston Boarhills Halbeath New Row Bonnybank High Valleyfield North Queensferry Buckhaven Kettlebridge & Kingskettle Pattiesmuir Chance Inn Kilconquhar & Barnyards Pitlessie Cluny Kilmany St Monans Coaltown of Wemyss Kilrenny Stratheden Colinsburgh Kincardine Strathmiglo Collessie Kinghorn Steelend Comrie Kirkton of Balmerino Tulliallan Craigrothie Letham Upper Largo Crombie Lochore West Wemyss Crosshill Lower Largo Culross Low Valleyfield

It is important to note that the number of sites included in this document far exceeds the number required in the Local Development Plan. These sites have no planning status. They have been included simply to highlight the options available and reflect all the sites submitted by the close of the Initial Call for Sites consultation (April 2012).

Blair House is a B listed building and is situated within the site, to the east (HS3420). The west of the site is classified as Hutton Land Classification 4.1 and the east is 3.2. There is a flood risk from Blair Burn around the west of the site - SEPA Flood Map Fluvial 200 V2.

Green Networks Assessment Summary Core Path 613, Comrie to Steelend runs along the western side of the site, enabling walking, cycling and horse riding. Opportunities could be taken to link this Core Path to the site. The site is surrounded by green and woodland areas to the north of the site. The trees along Blairwood Walk are recorded in the SSNW inventory as semi natural broadleaf. There are no recorded wildlife sites within the proposed site boundary, however the semi-rural natural of this area could support some unrecorded habitats.

Transport Assessment Summary The site has good proximity to local bus services along Main Street. There are services within easy walking distance of the site. Access would be taken from Blairwood Walk and from the access to the industrial estate off of Main Street.

Infrastructure Assessment Summary There appear to be no major infrastructure constraints associated with the site. There are existing community facilities in Oakley which can support and would benefit from additional development. Oakley has a Primary School, local shops, pubs and other community services.

Environmental Risks Assessment Summary It is not expected that there are any contamination problems associated with the site. The site does lie in a Coal Authority Referral Area but not a HSE consultation zone.

Energy Assessment Summary Some potential- There is no commitment made to this, however they suggest they would be willing to explore opportunity through a masterplanning process.

The site is greenfield and in agricultural use (all Prime Quality). There are no natural heritage designations on site, but the southern extremity is only 50 - 60 m from Firth of Forth SPA. There are 2 C Listed Buildings just outside the boundary of the 2 parcels of land.

Green Networks Assessment Summary Core path 637 runs along eastern boundary of the the easternmost site. Habitat comprises agricultural land in grass. There is scope for any proposal to enhance the Green network. Firth of Forth SPA is only 50/60 m from the southern boundary of the westernmost site.

Transport Assessment Summary Bus route runs along A985. Site is on the western edge of the built up area and so footpaths are limited. Vehicle access to residential portion of site from Hilton Road. Vehicle access to employment part of site from roundabout on Hilton Road/Caledonia way. No apparent major access issues.

FIFEplan SEA Version 1 - January 2013 Local Development Plan Candidate Sites Site Ref LDP-ROS003 ± Europarc/Rosyth Waterfront, Ferry Toll Road Enterprise, Planning & Rosyth Scale 1:18,000 Protective Services Version 1 - Jan 2013

Site Name and Location Europarc/Rosyth Waterfront, Ferry Toll Road, Rosyth Current Local Plan Dunfermline and West Fife Local Plan Status in Current Local Plan In the DWFLP the site includes, protected employment land, employment sites ROS008, ROS009, ROS010, ROS011, ROS012 and ROS013, Brownfield site ROS016, Proposed use of site Mixed Use Development Physical Assessment Summary This is a large brownfield site to the north east and east of the dockyard complex. It is bounded to the south by the Firth of Forth, to the west by St Margaret's Marsh SSSI and to the west by the dockyard area. To the north it is bounded by a road. It comprises a number of parcels of land. These are in a variety of uses - buildings, vacant land, some mature woodland, amenity grassland and scrub. There is a flood risk. Within the site there are two Scheduled Ancient Monuments - Rosyth Castle and Dovecot. There are also two B Listed buildings 100m from the site, in the dockyard complex.

Green Networks Assessment Summary Core paths 703 and 837 run to the north of the site and Core path 662 runs through the site. The site contains an ancient woodland, Orchardhead, which also enjoys TPO status. The Firth of Forth SPA is on the southern edge of the site. St Margaret's Marsh SSSI lies to the immediate east of the site. The proposal does in fact involve a small strip of land in the SSSI. Any development would have to be sensitive to the SPA, SSSI and Orchardhead Wood. However rehabilitation of the derelict land has the potential to enhance the green network if planned properly.

Transport Assessment Summary Bus routes run to the west and north of the site. Footpath access links the site with the dockyard complex. The ferry terminal is located some 260m away and Ferrytoll interchange is 1km away to the east. Vehicular access should not pose any apparent major issues.

Infrastructure Assessment Summary The nearest community facilities (shops, schools etc) are in Rosyth.

Environmental Risks Assessment Summary Site is in Aerodrome Safeguard Zone, HSE Consultation Zone (Rosyth Dockyard), and NAT Consultation Zone

Energy Assessment Summary Some potential - some interest has been shown by the site promoter.

Development Viability Assessment No evidence provided.

Any other relevant information Submitted proposal similar but exactly same as emerging Local Plan allocations. Developers seek a slightly wider range of uses eg an Area of Mixed Use and also seek to locate a nursing home in clearing in Orchardhead Wood. The proposal also involves a small strip of land at the western edge of St Margaret's SSSI - this needs to be fully checked.

Site Name and Location A985 Site, Rosyth Current Local Plan Dunfermline and West Fife Local Plan Status in Current Local Plan Countryside, Local landscape area and within Dunfermline green belt (DWFLP proposal DUN086). Proposed use of site Employment Physical Assessment Summary The site lies along the north side of the A985 on the south western boundary of Rosyth. Its north west corner bounds the hamlet of Pattiesmuir. It is greenfield currently in agriculture. There are no natural heritage designations on site. The site does slope down to the Brankholm Burn on its northern edge. It lies within a Special Landscape Area and in the area designated as Green Belt in the emerging Local Plan. Land is Prime Quality. Pattiesmuir Conservation area lies about 80 m from the north west corner of the site.

Green Networks Assessment Summary Core Path 701 runs to the west of the site. Brankholm Burn forms northern boundary of site. Some trees and shrubs along course of burn. The site could provide an enhancement to the green network. Firth of Forth SPA is about 700 m to the south.

Transport Assessment Summary Bus route runs along A985. Access to be taken from A985. No problem at this stage, but consultation would need to take place with trunk Roads Authority. Pedestrian access to site unclear at this stage.

Infrastructure Assessment Summary Nearest shops about 1 km away to the east.

Environmental Risks Assessment Summary Assessment to be carried out.

Energy Assessment Summary Some potential - some interest has been shown by the site promoter.

Site Name and Location Castlandhill (north and west), Rosyth Current Local Plan Dunfermline and West Fife Local Plan Status in Current Local Plan Countryside Proposed use of site Housing; Affordable Housing; Other Physical Assessment Summary The site is "U" shaped and located to the west of the M90 motorway. It is bounded to the SW, W and N by residential areas. The site is greenfield in agricultural land (grazing) with the exception of a small area of woodland in the south west corner. It generally comprises the lower SW, W and N slopes of Castlandhill. The site is also bounded on the upper slopes by agricultural grassland. There are no natural heritage designations on site. The site does slope but the severity is not known and would have to be investigated. No built heritage designations on site although Rosyth Castle Dovecot is located 370m to the south of the site.

Green Networks Assessment Summary Firth of Forth SPA is 650m to the south of the site. Core Path 630 runs through the south west of the site. Most of the habitat is improved grassland but there is a very limited amount of semi natural woodland in the south east of the site. Given the existence of woodlands just outside the south eastern boundary of the site there is potential to enhance the green network by sensitive planting and landscaping.

Transport Assessment Summary Access into the site could be taken from various points, including the B980. On its southern side the site is 100 from a bus route. At its nearest point the site is 200 m from the nearest primary school. There are shops and local facilities to the north and west of the site.

Site Name and Location Castlandhill (south), Rosyth Current Local Plan Dunfermline and West Fife Local Plan Status in Current Local Plan Countryside Proposed use of site Leisure/Community; Other Physical Assessment Summary The site is greenfield and currently comprises agricultural land and broadleaved woodland. Its is bounded to the west by the M90 and to the south by a minor road. It is on a south facing slope facing the Forth. Land to the east is being developed for the roads infrastructure supporting the Replacement Forth Crossing. There are no landscape designations on site, but St Margaret's Marsh SSSI lies 75m to the south across the minor road. Ferryhills SSSI lies 75 m to the east across the M90. The Firth of Forth SPA lies 475 m away to the south. There are no built heritage designations on site. There are 2 B Listed and one C Listed structures to the east, the nearest of which is 275 m away. They are all across the M90.

Green Networks Assessment Summary Core Path 837 runs along the minor road to the south of the site. Approximately 50% of the site comprises mature woodland, which would in the main be retained. New woodland planting would be undertaken to replace lost trees and extend the cover. The proposal has potential to enhance the green network.

Transport Assessment Summary A bus route runs to the south of the site. The Ferrytoll interchange is 200m to the east and the ferry terminal is 1.6 kms to the west. Given the location of the site, access by foot is limited. Vehicular access into the site would be taken from the Rosyth Link Road and Castlandhill Road. Due to road realignment (associated with the Replacement Forth Crossing) discussions have taken place with Transport Scotland. Given the strategic location, vehicular access would have to be checked with Transportation Infrastructure Assessment Summary Given the non - residential nature of the proposal, access to local services such as schools is not an important factor.

Environmental Risks Assessment Summary Site is in HSE Hazard Safeguard Zone (Rosyth Dockyard), Aerodrome Safeguard Zone, and NAT Consultation Zone.

Energy Assessment Summary Little potential - no interest has been shown by the site promoter.

Development Viability Assessment Supporting Statement indicates some support from Tourism Scotland and "local agents".

Any other relevant information This site was rejected by the Reporters in the recent LP Examination. The site is across the minor road from the emerging Local Plan proposal ROS015 Gateway site (Community/Leisure use).

Reason why the site will not be assessed further Proposals for the southern hillside of St Andrews were considered through the SAEFLP examination report. The reporter concluded that development would be detrimental to the landscape setting of St Andrews, that it should not be allocated for development and that the site should instead be part of the St Andrews Green Belt. There are already long term proposals for the growth of St Andrews through the St Andrews West Strategic Land Allocation. The proposal is not acceptable in terms of green belt policy and the impact on the landscape setting of St Andrews.

There is mature woodland to the southwest with long-standing and broadleaf trees recorded in the SNH ancient woodlands and TPO directory. There is no recorded flood risk, the nearest area affected being the coastline which sits at a considerably lower level than the site. The Crombie Old Parish Church which lies to the south of the site is recorded as being listed. The site has a Hutton Institute Land Classification grading of 2.

Green Networks Assessment Summary The entire site is located within the Upper Forth LLA. Core paths 689 and 690 run very close to the site, core path 696 runs along the coast further south. The nearest watercourse is the Firth of Forth/ Torry Bay. The Torryburn flows through a narrow valley into the estuary further northwest of the site. There is formal and informal greenspaces around the site. The woodland surrounding the site is recorded in the Ancient Woodland Inventory (NW of site) and in the SSNW Inventory (Semi- natural broadleaf).

Transport Assessment Summary Walking distances, in the opinion of the examiners, would be excessive, particularly from the SW end of the site to bus services on Main Street and to the limited village services in Torryburn and in Newmills, over a mile away to the east. Existing access can be taken off of the adjacent housing development and it is expected that there would be limited need to upgrade existing roads.

Infrastructure Assessment Summary The site appears to be free from infrastructure constraints, a letter confirming sufficient water supply has been provided by Scottish Water. There are limited village services in Torryburn and in Newmills over a mile away to the east. The nearest Schools are in Cairneyhill and High Valleyfield.

Environmental Risks Assessment Summary The site lies within a Coal Authority Referral Area. There are no obvious contamination issues associated with the site. The site is not located within a hazard safeguard zone.

Energy Assessment Summary Muir homes is willing to explore opportunities for on-site renewable technologies to support the Council's aspirations.

Development Viability Assessment It would appear the site is capable of being marketed effectively. Higher end housing is proposed for the site.

Local Development Plan Candidate Sites Site Ref LDP-LWD001 ± Former Comrie Colliery Site, nr Blairhall Enterprise, Planning & Landward Scale 1:18,000 Protective Services Version 1 - Jan 2013

Site Name and Location Former Comrie Colliery Site, nr Blairhall. Current Local Plan Dunfermline and West Fife Local Plan Status in Current Local Plan Countryside Proposed use of site Housing; Affordable Housing; Leisure/Community Physical Assessment Summary The former colliery site now consists of derelict land left after Comrie Colliery operational activities. Part of the site is occupied by offices and associated facilities involved in the preparation of opencast coal being mined in accordance with Planning Permission Ref10/01458/EIA. The central core of dereliction is surrounded by untenanted agricultural land.

Green Networks Assessment Summary Core paths 627 and 628 lie a short distance to the east of the site- therefore there is likely to be some potential to link these into or through the site if required. The Bourtree Burn appears to flow along the northern boundary of the derelict mine works. There appear to be some existing water bodies within the site, likely remnants of past mining. The rural location of the site would allow potential for improving green networks, both formal and informal. Maggie McKinlays wood and Lockshaw Moss lie adjacent to the site. There appear to be no major biodiversity issues with the site, however due to the countryside location there may be unrecorded habitats in or adjacent to the site.

Transport Assessment Summary The site is very isolated with the closest main transport links at the A907 road and Blairhall to the south and on the Saline/Comrie road to the east. Bus services in this part of Fife are fairly limited but there are links between Stirling/Alloa and Dunfermline along the A907 approximately 800m south of the site (as the crow flies). Under planning permission ref. 10/01458/EIA a new access has been constructed onto the A907 to the south west of the site. Infrastructure Assessment Summary No details provided. However given the previous history of the site it is possible there is water and drainage facilities in place. The adequacy of these along with other infrastructure will have to be assessed. The site is remote and is not within reasonable walking distance of community facilities.

Environmental Risks Assessment Summary There is significant contamination upon the site related to the former mine workings. The site is to be remediated based upon an existing planning consent for opencast workings at the site. Existing allocated housing developments in Saline and Blairhall are to contribute financially to the sites remediation. The area is within a Coal Authority Consultation zone.

Energy Assessment Summary No. There may be opportunity to consider mine water heating as a possible option. However the lower level of proposed development and the isolation of the site from any major built up areas may preclude a financially viable solution. The site could have some opportunity for onsite renewable generation which could be worth exploring.

Development Viability Assessment A statement provided by the developer suggests that there is market interest in developing the site. However no further information has been provided suggesting there is a need to increase the level of development for commercial viability purposes.

Any other relevant information No further information supplied.

Site Name and Location Land at The Smiddy, Kemback Bridge, by Cupar Current Local Plan St Andrews and East Fife Local Plan Status in Current Local Plan Countryside Proposed use of site Housing Physical Assessment Summary The site is not currently used for any purpose. An informal path cuts across the site in a north-easterly direction. The site is greenfield with a small amount of tree cover on the north-westernmost corner and a small knoll in the centre of the site. There are no natural heritage designations on the site. The site is part of the Dura Den Special Landscape Area (Local Landscape Area) The western part of the site slopes considerably. The eastern section of the site falls within the SEPA 1-in-200-year fluvial flood area. The site is classified as Prime Agricultural Land (Class 2) by the Hutton Institute.

Green Networks Assessment Summary There are no core paths or cycleways on the site itself but Core Path 99 runs adjacent to the south westerly boundary of the site. There are no habitats identified on the site although it is possible that the woodland on the north-western section of the site and the central knoll could house some wildlife. The Ceres Burn is located close to the east of the site and runs parallel. There is an area of woodland on the north-western section of the site as well as a wooded knoll in the centre of the site. There is no formal greenspace designation on the site but the presence of the informal pathway indicates that the site may be used by locals for access to surrounding countryside. Given the proximity of the site to woodland it is likely that development of the site could provide an opportunity to enhance the green network provision in the area. Transport Assessment Summary The site is within 200m of a bus stop. It is within 500m of Kemback Church and Bowling Green however there are no other facilities in the hamlet. There are no formal cyclepaths in and around Kemback and a single-lane B class carriageway links to the nearest villages of Pitscottie and Dairise and to the town of Cupar. Two potential access points into the site are located at the north-eastern boundary and the south-western boundary. Infrastructure Assessment Summary No known water/waste water constraints - Scottish water to confirm. No known Education capacity issues - FC Education to confirm. No known issues re; electricity or gas - Scottish Power to confirm. There are very few community facilities in the immediate area - these are limited to a church and a bowling green.

Environmental Risks Assessment Summary No apparent contamination issues on site - confirmation required. Not within a HSE consultation zone. Ground conditions appear stable but may require further investigation as site slopes on the western side. Not within a Coal Authority consultation zone. Not within a Railtrack tunnel consultation zone; not within a Trunk Road consultation zone.

Energy Assessment Summary Some potential - although the site promoter has not expressed how the site will be served in Energy purposes, the site is owned and promoted by Fife Council which supports a move towards Low Carbon development.
