William Hogg, Frances McGlinchey, John McLaren, Brian Wallace, Recommendation: Refuse Reasoned Justification: The proposed development is contrary to the Development Plan (Spatial Development Strategy of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Strategic Development Plan 2012 and the North Lanarkshire Local Plan 2012). The impact of the development is not sustainable in terms of the loss of open green belt land and the impact on the schools infrastructure. The applicant has failed to demonstrate the need for additional housing land at this location to meet a perceived shortfall in housing land supply within North Lanarkshire. The applicant promoted the site through the local development plan process and it was rejected by the Council as not meeting the assessment criteria and as such the proposal runs counter to the plan led approach to development. If granted, the proposal would set an undesirable precedent for other similar inappropriate development within this pressurised housing area. Legal Agreement If minded to grant, planning permission should not be issued until a legal agreement has been concluded which allows for a financial contribution from the Council to address education mitigation.

Cumbernauld Road And East Of Hornshill Farm Road Stepps North Lanarkshire Development: Residential development with associated infrastructure, landscaping and enaineerina works. Recommendation:Reasons:−The Refuse for the Following proposed development is contrary to the Spatial Development Strategy of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Strategic Development Plan 2012 and policies DSP1 (Amount of Development), DSP2 (Location of Development), DSP4 (Quality of Development), NBE3A (Green Belt) of the North Lanarkshire Local Plan as it is considered to be an unjustified incursion in to the Greenbelt. The site is not supported by the Local Plan development strategy and would constitute an unacceptable form of Green Belt development. The site is included as part of the designated Green Belt and its development would result in the ad hoc eastward expansion of the settlement of Stepps. The proposal would therefore result in the unacceptable of loss Green Belt land and have an irreversible adverse visual impact on the open character of the site. 2. The information submitted by the applicant does not support the need for additional housing land at this location to meet a perceived shortfall in housing land supply within North Lanarkshire. The development will also have a negative impact on the public infrastructure within Stepps in terms of the need to develop additional teaching space within Stepps primary school and relocate existing community uses currently contained within the school. The proposed development therefore does not accord with the Sustainable Location Assessment (as contained within Diagram 4) of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Strategic Development Plan 2012.

  • Total Sickness Benefit Data – Figures 1-9 Updated from Glasgow Profile
    Scottish Observatory for Work and Health University of Glasgow Health-related Worklessness in Scotland Profile June 2011 Judith Brown Joel Smith David Webster James Arnott Ivan Turok Ewan Macdonald Richard Mitchell Contact: Judith Brown Public Health & Health Policy 1 Lilybank Gardens University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8RZ [email protected] 1 Summary & Key Findings Health-related worklessness in Scotland Profile 1. This profile provides detailed information on total sickness-related benefit claimants (incapacity benefit, IB and Employment Support Allowance, ESA claimants) from 2000 to 2009, ESA claimants from 2009 and ESA claimants by medical condition for 2010 (broken down by age, duration of claim, stage of claim and ethnicity). 2. The profile contains data for Scotland, Glasgow City, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, West Dunbartonshire. 3. The percent of the working age population (WAP) claiming IB in Glasgow City decreased from 18.8% in 2000 to 14.4% by 2007. Following the introduction of ESA in October 2008, the WAP in receipt of total sickness-related benefit has continued to follow the general linear decline observed for IB but the rate is not falling as steeply. By 2009, 13.5% of the WAP in Glasgow were claiming sickness benefit compared to 9.1% in Scotland. Similar trends are observed in the other geographies. 4. The rate of on flow decreased in Scotland and Glasgow City prior to the introduction of ESA. From 2008 there have been small increases in IB/ESA on flow rates. By 2009, total sickness benefit was in excess of the level observed for 2005 with the rate of on flow currently at 3.9% in Glasgow.

    North Lanarkshire CLD Partnership Interim Strategic Alignment Plan 2018 - 21 Contents Foreword on Strategic Alignment Phase 1. Vision Statement 2. What is Community Learning and Development? 3. North Lanarkshire Community Learning & Development Partnership 4. Identifying Needs & Engaging with Communities 5. National and Local Strategic Context 6. Cross Cutting Themes Inclusion & Equality Workforce Development Digital Inclusion 7. Measuring Impact and Reporting Performance Appendix Foreword on Strategic Alignment Phase Previous Planning Arrangements The North Lanarkshire Community Learning & Development Partnership has been working together over the past four years to deliver its most recent 2014-18 Strategy, including its accompanying six Locality CLD Action Plans which were published in 2015. The CLD Partnership strategy, and resulting action plans, covered 39 Areas of Key Focus and several cross cutting themes agreed by partners and based on local needs. Recent work to review the impact of the strategy has shown a range of successfully delivered outcomes, as highlighted by the recent Education Scotland inspection of the NL CLD Partnership in 2017. Significant progress has been made across the 39 Areas of Key Focus, however partners have recognised that many of the needs highlighted in 2014 will still require to be supported on an ongoing basis. One example of this is the significant long-term investment made towards our digital inclusion project, Digital NL, which is now two years into a three year programme of funding. Changes within the Current Community Planning Partnership The previous CLD plan was linked closely to the wider North Lanarkshire Partnership (NLP) Community Plan. Partners have agreed that the local CLD plan for 2018 onwards should, similarly, be directly linked to Community Planning structures.

    NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL To: POLICY AND RESOURCES Subject: SIXTH REVIEW OF UNITED COMMITTEE KINGDOM PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES - REVISED PROPOSALS From: HEAD OF CENTRAL SERVICES Date: 13 September 2012 Ref: JAFAL 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 On Thursday, 13 September 2012 the Boundary Commission for Scotland published its revised proposals for United Kingdom Parliamentary Constituencies for an eight week final public consultation period. This report advises the Committee of those revised proposals and makes recommendations on action in response to the final consultation. 2. Background 2.1 At its meeting on 1 December 201 1, the Committee noted the statutory requirement for a review of United Kingdom Parliamentary Constituencies, the initial proposals formulated by the Boundary Commission for Scotland and the consultation arrangements. The Committee then agreed to appoint a Working Group to give consideration to the initial proposals and, at its meeting on 15 December 2011, the Council noted the recommendations of the Working Group and approved, for submission, a consultation response. 2.2 At its meeting on 1 December 2011 the Committee noted also that, following the initial twelve week consultation period, the Boundary Commission for Scotland would publish on its website the representations received and the record of the public hearings and would invite written comments during a further period of four weeks. This was done and, at its meeting on 14 March 2012, the Council noted the consultation responses and approved a submission which, with the benefit of additional considerations arising from the consultation responses, adhered to the initial consultation submissions made by the Council. 2.3 Having considered all responses, the Boundary Commission for Scotland has now published revised proposals for an eight week final public consultation period.
