J2/02/1/243 JUSTICE 2 COMMITTEE Consideration of 2003/4 Budget Background 1. The Scottish Executive’s budget proposals for 2003/4 will be published around Easter and subject committees will be required to report to the Finance Committee around the end of May. 2. Last year, the two Justice Committees decided, with the agreement of the Bureau, to meet jointly to scrutinise the budget proposals. This decision took account of the fact that each committee gains a different range of information and expertise from its work during the year. 3. The committees also agreed in principle to appoint an adviser on the budget last year but were unable to identify a suitable person in the time available. This year there will be some support available from the Finance Committee’s adviser, Professor Arthur Midwinter. However, as he will be covering the whole of the budget, some subject committees are also proposing to appoint their own advisers. 2003/4 budget process 4. The Committee is invited to agree that permission should again be sought from the Bureau to meet jointly to consider the budget proposals this year. 5. The Committee is also invited to agree in principle that an adviser should be appointed to assist with the budget scrutiny, assuming that a suitable person can be identified. If this is agreed, once a shortlist of names has been drawn up, the clerks will arrange a joint meeting of the two Justice Committees to consider it.

  • Kinbrace Drove Stance Summary
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON MHG10266 Name: Kinbrace Drove Stance Summary: A two-compartment enclosure probably constructed as a drove stance. Grid Reference: NC866286 Civil Parish: Kildonan Geographical Area: Sutherland Date of Survey: 26 January 2012 Monument Type: Stock enclosure Full Description: The stance is situated on a grassy haugh on the east bank of the River Helmsdale and consists of a rectangular enclosure with two compartments. The earthen dykes are up to one metre in height but are poorly preserved and discontinuous in places. In the south dyke there is a probable entrance near the south east corner and a second gap further to the west. A mound ten metres north of the enclosure is suggestive of a small building but might be a natural feature. It is likely that two drove roads from the north converged at or near to this location – the Ca na Catanach (MHG 835) from Caithness and the route from Syre in Strathnaver – while the drove road south from this point enters the hill ground near Borrobol and continues to Invershin. The stance lies 3.5 km south of the site of the former drovers’ inn at Achentoul. It is possible that the stance passed out of use when this inn (which is likely to have had its own stance) came into operation, or it may have been used as an alternative site for assembling droves and holding them overnight. The monument is currently recorded as a Stock Enclosure but its configuration and location indicates that it was probably a drove stance. Other References: Rev Donald Sage, in ‘Parish Life in the North of Scotland’, wrote: About three miles below, the river receives a considerable addition to its volume by the water of Strathbeag which, rising about eight miles to the N.E., there joins the Helmisdale.

Representee Comment Whole Policy Text WS General Comment Scottish Water In relation to the Local Plan Map Booklet, we welcome the inclusion of the table prepared for each settlement, suggesting the level of capacity for both water and sewerage treatment. A detailed assessment of the proposed site allocations provided in the map booklet has been undertaken in terms of capacity and future capacity1 of Scottish Water’s infrastructure to accommodate the level of development detailed within the local plan. The capacity data section in the map booklet appears to be consistent with our assessment and the planned future development of our infrastructure. Scottish Natural Heritage Master Planning and Design Statements SNH recommends that relevant PANs such as PAN83 Masterplanning, PAN68 Design Statements are referred to and their requirements consistently applied in relation to housing allocations within1 the Local Plan. DEPOSIT DRAFT NOV 08 RESPONSE - Not done – but para 2.6 1st b/p advises applicants to check the Scottish Government website for current PANs – which are listed in topic order – and SNH has no further comments on this. Scottish Natural Heritage Renewable energy, and some other development related issues will, SNH understands, be taken forward soon in policy terms through the Highland-wide Local Development Plan in order that they can be considered at the Highland rather than at any Area level.
