Executive Council Confidential EXECUTIVE COUNCIL CONFIDENTIAL Title of Report: Development Plan Consultation Paper Number: 70/14 Date: 9th April 2014 Report of: Head of Environmental Planning 1.0 Purpose 1.1 This paper sets out the proposed content for, and approach to, public consultation on the headline issues in relation to the Development Plan (DP), which comprises the Stanley Town Plan and the Falkland Islands Wide Structure Plan. 1.2 This consultation work may also provide helpful context for the production of the National Infrastructure Plan (NIP), and so has been prepared with the appropriate input from those leading on the NIP. 2.0 Recommendations 2.1 It is recommended that Executive Council approve: • the Non-Technical Summary included at appendix 1; • the Main Consultation document included at appendix 2; • draft response form included at appendix 3; • the draft Town Plan map (annex 1); and • the broad approach to the consultation (as set out in section 6 of the report). 3.0 Additional Budgetary Implications 3.1 None 4.0 Background 4.1 In January 2014 Executive Council considered a scoping paper in relation to the Development Plan and National Infrastructure Plan (the content in relation to the former being based on a scoping report which Planning & Building Committee had considered in December 2013). The scoping paper set out an overall approach, including content and timescales. A key stage was a joint 1 public consultation in autumn 2014 on the headlines issues and broad approach. 4.2 This paper sets out the proposed approach to that public consultation. It is envisaged that, subject to Executive Council approval, consultation will commence in the first half of April to the end of May 2014 (approximately 7 weeks). 4.3 Given the timescales and approach to identifying priorities for capital funding, the proposed consultation focuses more on broad approaches, housing supply and planning issues. Further specific consultation on infrastructure priorities may be appropriate later in the year, and further details planning consultation will also be required in accordance with the requirements of the planning ordinance (as set out in the scoping paper). 5.0 What will be consulted on? 5.1 A main consultation document has been prepared which sets out the context and some key issues about scale of growth. This document has been informed by the ongoing work from the David Smethurst Consultancy, and the interviews/workshops undertaken in January 2014. The consultation also includes questions in relation to the Rural Development Strategy and Rural Enterprise Zones, and hence subsumes the requested consultation by the Policy Unit on these issues. Finally, the document also sets out assumptions to be made to inform the production of the Development Plan. By including them in the consultation, it will provide an opportunity to test that they are appropriate. These assumptions have been endorsed by Planning & Building Committee. 5.2 The previous Scoping Report had indicated that the consultation material would include a summary of the current social, economic and environmental situation existing key strategies and policies and the key issues and challenges arising from these. This is included within the introduction of the main consultation document. 5.3 The main document will be accompanied by: • a non-technical summary; • a consultation response form; and • a working draft Stanley Town Plan (map showing broad allocations for development). 5.4 Although the main consultation document includes detail of potential development sites, it is considered a key part of the consultation to make a draft Stanley Town Plan map available to inform discussion. The draft map forms annex 1 to this report and has been discussed informally with the members of Planning and Building Committee (3rd March) and MLAs (4th March). 2 5.5 The Scoping Report had indicated that the consultation material would include indicative detail for detailed policies. However, rather than setting out proposed material for this, it is suggested that it may be more constructive to tease out these issues through the workshops (through a discussion about what development in each of the zones might look/feel like and how/to what extent it should be controlled). 6.0 How will the consultation be undertaken? 6.1 It is envisaged that the consultation which will take place in April and May period. The broad approach to the consultation has been endorsed by Planning & Building Committee and will include the following aspects (as discussed in detail below): • making documents available; • press & media; • topic and public workshops in Stanley; and • a tailored approach to Camp. 6.2 Making Consultation Documents Available: All of the consultation material will be made available electronically and hard copy (to view) in the EPD Offices, the library and the post-office. 6.3 Publicity: There will be a press release and formal public notices will be placed in the Penguin News. Relevant staff could be asked to include a note at the bottom of all e-mails publicising the consultation. 6.4 Workshops: During the consultation it is envisaged that there will be a number of topic based workshops which will focus on a specific issue (such as housing, industrial/commercial developments and/or retail and service developments) and the relevant key stakeholders will be invited. Positive feedback was received on the format of a recent workshop in relation to Waste Management and so this format could be used again. 6.5 In addition a number of public workshops are planned. Rather than a presentation and Q&A approach, it is envisaged that these will be drop-in sessions with self-explanatory material available so people can easily and quickly give their views. Relevant staff will be on hand to facilitate and engage in more detailed discussions. 6.6 It is proposed that towards the end of the consultation period (i.e. mid May) workshops are held in Goose Green and Fox Bay to update on the NIP/DP work and also related activity (such as work on Environmental Impact Assessment and Permitted Development Rights). 7.0 Financial Implications 7.1 The use of David Smethurst Consultancy to progress the infrastructure work and the costs of this has already been agreed and therefore this report has no net implications on the resources required for this work. Similarly, 3 progressing the review of the Development Plan is a key piece of work for the Environmental Planning Department and will be partly resourced through existing budgets. Additional resource for the department (1 temporary post for 2 years) has already been agreed through the 2013/14 oil budget, and part of this capacity will contribute to the development plan review. Again, as this has already been agreed this report has no net implications on the resources required for this work. 8.0 Legal Implications 8.1 The process for reviewing the development plan must comply with the relevant requirements as set out in the Planning Ordinance and relevant legislation. These have been taken into account in the production of this report. 9.0 Human Resources Implications 9.1 None for the purposes of this paper 10.0 Background Papers: • Executive Council Report 21/14 Development Plan and National Infrastructure Plan Scoping Report (January 2014) • David Smethurst Consultancy (2013) - Towards an Infrastructure Delivery Plan • Regeneris Consulting (2013) Socio-Economic Study of Oil and Gs Development in the Falklands • Executive Council Report 201-13 Your Future – Your Say Consultation, Next Steps (August 2013) • Executive Council Report 200-12 Development Plan Review and Alteration (August 2012) 4 Appendix 1: Non-Technical Summary Development Plan Consultation Non-Technical Summary April 2014 What is the purpose of this consultation? 1. This is a summary of the Development Plan Initial Consultation Document. The main document sets out the emerging approach to the review of the Falkland Islands Development Plan. The Falkland Islands Development Plan is currently made up of the Structure Plan and Stanley Town Plan. This document should be read alongside the draft Stanley Town Plan Map. A separate response form is available to provide comments. 2. The results of this consultation will be used to help produce detailed amendments to the Structure Plan and Town Plan. There will be a separate consultation on the Structure Plan and Town Plan in late 2014. It is hoped that the new plans will be formally adopted towards the middle of 2015. Key Characteristics 3. Some of the key characteristics of the Falkland Islands which need to be considered in the production of the plan are: • the Falklands is a small scale and very remote community; • the town of Stanley is the economic centre, but the sustainability of Camp is a high priority; • the Falklands has a limited economic and business base, reflecting its size (public services, fisheries, agriculture, tourism and construction are key sectors, and recently there has been oil-related activity); • residents are hard-working and resourceful; • housing in Stanley is mainly made up of low density detached homes, and few are empty; and • the Falklands is a diverse but well-integrated community. Policy Context 4. The Islands Plan highlights that economic development has historically been constrained by isolation – both physical and political – and by the size of the resident population. The Islands Plan seeks to address these constraints so as to improve transport linkages with the rest of the world, and to ensure that the Islands have a stable population and labour force. 5. Executive Council has agreed that a National Infrastructure Plan will be produced, to identify key economic, transport and social infrastructure priorities (i.e. ‘what’ and ‘when’). The spatial dimension of this (the ‘where’) is provided by the Development Plan. It is therefore important that the 5 Development Plan sets out broad locations for different types of infrastructure, but is not too rigid.

  • February/March 2022 – Falklands, Lost Archipelago – Part 1
    February/March 2022 – Falklands, lost archipelago – Part 1 This unique itinerary will bring us to visit 4 island of this remote nature paradise flying on small planes and driving 4x4 vehicles. 26 February – 05 March 2022 Exclusive departure for our group, 10 persons max. During this adventure we will have the rare opportunity of observing 4 different penguin species species (if we are lucky even 6, sometimes Macaroni breed among Rockhopper and Chinstrap are rare visitors in Sounders) and among them the King Penguin, as well as Sea Lions and Elephant Seals, Cormorants and Albatros. We will fly over the archipelago 4 times on board small airplanes, the relatively low level flying provides passengers with exceptional views of the Falklands coastlines and inland scenery. All this in the comfort of the local Lodges. This expedition will be guided by Piero Bosco. PROGRAM 26 – 27 February Meet at Punta Arenas airport and flight Punta Arenas – Mount Pleasant. Arrive Mount Pleasant Airport early afternoon, transfer by Falkland Islands Government Air Service (FIGAS) 8-seater Britten Norman Islander aircraft to Port Howard, West Falkland Island. Port Howard is a pictoresque traditional settlement on the west side of the Falkland Sound. It is the oldest and biggest sheep farm in West Falkland: 200.000 ectars and about 40.000 ships producing every year 650 balls of wool. Mount Maria, the third highest mount of the Falkland, dominates the settlement. Although wildlife isn't the main attraction of Port Howard, a colony of Papua Penguins and a large number of waterfowl can be encountered on the excursion to Gladstone Bay, only an hour's drive from the settlement.

Fifth Infantry Brigade's night assault against Wireless Ridge, Mount Tumbledown and Mount William had been successful. From the captured heights, the Argentineans could be seen retreating into Stanley. To keep the pressure on, Brigadier Wilson ordered the Welsh Guards to capture the last high ground before Stanley, Sapper Hill. The 1st Welsh Guards had taken heavy losses when the landing ships Sir Galahad and Sir Tristram were bombed at Bluff Cove. To replace the losses, A and C Companies of the 40th Royal Marines were attached to the Welsh Guards. Lt. Colonel Rickett's plan of attack called for the troops to be airlifted to the start line which would be secured by 9th Troop of the 40th Marines. The helicopters were to land on the Goose Green - Stanley Track as the surrounding ground was thought to be mined. The helicopters arrived on time and the troops were airborne. M Company of the 5th Batallon de Infanteria Marnina had been positioned on Mount William when the Scots Guards attacked and captured Mount Tumbledown from other elements of their battalion. They were ordered to abandon the hilltop before the Gurhkas assault began.

  • Freshwater Fish in the Falklands
    Freshwater fish in the Falklands Conservation of native zebra trout Echo Goodwin, North Arm School A report by Katherine Ross to the Falkland Islands Government and Falklands Conservation, 2009. Summary • Only two species of freshwater fish, Zebra trout (Aplochiton zebra) and Falklands minnows (Galaxias maculatus) are native to the Falklands. • Brown trout (Salmo trutta) were introduced to the Falklands in the 1940’s and 1950’s. They can spend part of their life cycle at sea which has allowed them to spread across the islands causing a catastrophic decline in the distribution of zebra trout. The ways by which brown trout remove zebra trout probably include predation on juvenile fish and competition for food. • Zebra trout are long lived and therefore adult populations may persist for many years where juveniles no longer survive. Such populations can become extinct suddenly. • Freshwater fish of the Falklands were last surveyed in 1999. • This project investigated the distribution of freshwater fish in West and East Falkland by electrofishing, netting and visual surveys and identified conservation priorities for zebra trout. • Zebra trout populations were found in Lafonia, the south of West Falkland and Port Howard. Brown trout were found across much of Lafonia where their range appears to have expanded since 1999. • Once brown trout have invaded a catchment they are very difficult to remove. Controlling the spread of brown trout is therefore an urgent priority if zebra trout are to be conserved. • Freshwater habitats where zebra trout were found were generally in good condition but in some areas perched culverts may prevent juvenile zebra trout from returning to freshwaters (we think larval zebra trout spend their first few months at sea).

  • 250 Years of Cattle on the Falkland Islands, 1763-2013 R. Trevor Wilson1
    Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences June 2016, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 1-19 ISSN: 2334-2404 (Print), 2334-2412 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 From Feral to fully farmed: 250 years of Cattle on the Falkland Islands, 1763-2013 R. Trevor Wilson1 Abstract A very few cattle were landed on the Falkland by the French in 1763, later augmented by about 60 head by the Spanish. Unoccupied from 1770 to 1820, reports then indicated 20,000 to 100,000 head roaming East Falkland. From the 1830s cattle were hunted for hides, an activity formalized through (British) Government land grants and slaughter licences. During the 1840s Government tried to attract settlers and sheep began to super cede cattle. There were occasional uncoordinated attempts to improve the genetics through introduction of “superior” breeds. An experimental farm established in the 1920s was short-lived as cattle numbers declined and sheep numbers increased. Further sporadic cattle imports were made during the mid twentieth century. Artificial insemination was introduced in the 1970s with imported British beef and dairy breed semen. A National Beef Herd was established in 1997 to breed superior cattle – mainly via artificial insemination and embryo transfer – able to produce organic or “near-organic” beef finished at 24-30 months under the harsh environment of the Falklands with a view to obtaining access to the EU market. Local farmers collectively own about 6000 cattle in small herds whose main objective is to supply household milk and beef.
