Newhills Development Framework.Pdf NEWHILLS Development Framework October 2014 Project: Newhills Expansion Area Development Framework Document: Development Framework Document Number: 120446-DF-SG-review Issue Revision By Approved Date First issue Client sign-off CDGG PMAC 19/12/2013 Rev A ACCC ReviRe ew CDG PMAC 23/01/2014 Rev B Final draft submission CDG PMAC 06/02/2014 Reve C Revision for Scottish Government review CDG PMAC 21/10/2014 pg. 1 The Newhills Expansion Area is a major urban expansion area on the western edge of Aberdeen City. It is one of the most significant expansion areas for Aberdeen in the next 20 years. Strategically, the Newhills area will form a new western boundary to the city and benefits from excellent connections via the AWPR and the A96(T) both into the city and outward to the surrounding area. As one of a series of masterplan zones that have been identified by Aberdeen City Council (ACC), an over-arching Development Framework is required which co-ordinates the three separate Opportunity Sites and ensures that the overall area is considered as a whole. The Aberdeen Masterplanning Process: A Guide for Developers has been followed which states that “developers will be expected to work together to prepare Masterplans for each zone, and coordinate the planning and delivery of associated infrastructure requirements.” This document sets out a Development Framework for opportunity sites identified in the Aberdeen Local Development Plan (ALDP) as OP20, OP21 and OP22. This Framework provides a structure for future masterplan(s) and application(s) for Planning Permission in Principle. The Newhills Development Framework and Masterplan was produced prior to the adoption of the Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2017, however its content remains valid and the document is still relevant in informing decision making. As part of the publication of the Local Development Plan 2017, an appraisal of the document has been undertaken and, as part of this process, policy references within the document have been reviewed and updated. Any queries concerning the text of the document should be directed to Planning and Sustainable Development (03000 200292 or [email protected]) for clarification.

  • Man in Moray
    10 0 I w! Fig.2.1 Moray. MANIN MORAY 5,000 years of history Ian Keillar Synopsis The extent of Moray is defined and the physical conditions briefly described. Traces of Mesolithic man have been found in the Culbin, and later Neolithic peoples found Moray an attractive place to settle. As metal working became established, trades routes followed and Moray flourished. As the climate deteriorated, so, apparently, did the political situation and defensive sites became necessary. The Romans came and went and the Picts rose and fell. The Vikings did not linger on these shores and MacBeth never met any witches near Forres. The Kings of Scots divided and ruled until they themselves set a pattern, which still continues, that if you want to get on you must go south to London. In distant Moray, brave men like Montrose and foolish men like Prince Charles Edward, fought for their rightful king. The Stuarts, however, ill rewarded their followers. Road makers and bridge builders half tamed the rivers, and the railways com­ pleted the process. With wars came boom years for the farmers, but even feather beds wear out and Moray is once more in apparent decline. However, all declines are relative and the old adage still has relevance: 'Speak wee] o the Hielans but live in the Laich.' Physical The name Moray is now applied to a local authority administrative District extending from west of Forres and the Findhorn to Cullen and stretching down in an irregular triangle into the highlands of the Cairngorms (Fig.2. l ). In Medieval times, Moray reached as far as Lochalsh on the west coast and there has always been some difficulty in defining the bound­ aries of the province.

  • Bucksburn Primary School, Inverurie Road, Bucksburn
    BUCKSBURN PRIMARY SCHOOL, INVERURIE ROAD, BUCKSBURN ERECTION OF ONE SINGLE STOREY AND ONE TWO STOREY CLASSROOM ACCOMMODATION UNITS For: Aberdeen City Council Application Type : Detailed Planning Permission Advert : Can't notify neighbour(s) Application Ref. : P130449 Advertised on: 17/04/2013 Application Date: 05/04/2013 Committee Date: 30 May 2013 Officer : Lucy Greene Community Council : Ward : Dyce/Bucksburn/Danestone(B Crockett/G Lawrence/N MacGregor/G Samarai) RECOMMENDATION: Approve subject to conditions DESCRIPTION The application site consists of the existing Bucksburn Primary School site and lies on the south side of Inverurie Road (A96 trunk road), behind of row of residential properties that front onto the main road. The existing single storey school buildings lie towards the southern end of the triangular shaped site. Vehicles reach the existing school via an existing access road off the Inverurie Road, almost opposite the Britannia Hotel. To the south and west of the school lie agricultural fields; to the north west is the nursery that is linked to the school via steps; to the east is a large grassed recreational area containing a children’s play area. The land within the school site is at a higher level than the properties to the north, with the level difference being such that the area of playground immediately to the south of the residential properties, would be just below the level of the upper floor windows.
