Which document(s) are you commetning on? Local Development Plan 2021: Main Issues Report (MIR) (including the Kincardine and Mearns Settlements Document). Your comments Chapter 3: Vision and Strategy Main Issue 1: The Vision of the Plan Gladman supports the preferred option to keep the existing vision statement unchanged. Gladman agrees that greater guidance on the value of the vision and how it relates to the policies should be provided. It is important that the Council continue to recognise the need to ensure the region is an ‘excellent place to live, visit and do business’ by increasing sustainable economic growth by enabling appropriate development throughout the region. Main Issue 2: The Settlement Strategy We support the preferred option to remove references within the spatial strategy to the six different administrative areas in Aberdeenshire, to give a wider context to the settlement strategy over the whole area. However, it is important that growth and development is encouraged across the entire region to ensure the Council deliver the Vision of the Plan, and do not over-rely on the delivery of the large scale, Strategic Growth Areas. Although such areas will be the primary focus for growth during the plan period, a range of sites and locations must be identified as suitable for development to ensure the entire region benefits from sustainable, economic growth. Chapter 5: Shaping Development in the Countryside We support the wider aim of the policies within this section of the emerging LDP to support a long-term sustainable pattern of development, which as recognised within the MIR and Scottish Planning Policy (SPP, para.40) is to promote growth within and adjacent to existing settlements. The MIR recognises 4 key issues for consideration during this consultation, however, it fails to take cognisance of that in the event there is a shortfall in the Council’s five-year effective housing land supply, appropriate locations, including outwith settlements, must be considered as potentially suitable for housing in line with SPP. The emerging LDP should allow for this eventuality to ensure that such locations will suitably be considered for housing development when the Council are failing to maintain a five-year effective housing land supply. Main Issue 8: Organic Growth We support the purpose of the organic growth policy to introduce an element of flexibility by permitted sites for development adjacent to settlements where a need has been established. However, we would note that the scale of development sites should not be restricted ensuring that all eventual needs can be accommodated for through appropriate growth in appropriate locations throughout the region. We support the Council’s preferred option on this issue. However, any identified housing need, and particularly a shortfall in the five-year effective housing land supply, must also be considered as a relevant need that must be recognised within this section of the emerging Plan. In terms of identifying areas permissible for such organic growth, as noted within the Council’s preferred option, there is currently a significant reliance on the delivery of the few Strategic Growth Areas throughout the region. There must be added weight in delivering appropriate growth within accessible small towns and rural areas, as defined by the Scottish Government Urban Rural Classification (6-fold) guidance noted within Main Issue 7, and recognise such areas as permissible for organic growth at a sufficient scale to address an identified housing need. Chapter 6: Shaping Homes and Housing Gladman supports the overall principles of this section ensuring that there is a generous supply of land for housing across all tenures identified by the Council, in line with SPP, and that there will be “a sharp focus on delivery”. In order to deliver this however, it will be imperative that the Council allocates a range of sites of varying sizes and throughout the Aberdeenshire-part of the Aberdeen HMA and the Rural HMA. The Housing Land Requirement (HLR) with the Strategic Development Plan includes a generous allowance (20%) for flexibility to ensure delivery of the Housing Supply Target (HST). It should be noted however that a significant proportion of units are expected to be delivered across a small number of sites as part of Strategic Growth Areas. In review of the 2018 Housing Land Audit, over 60% of the Council’s housing land supply (c. 8,000 units) within the Aberdeenshire-part of the Aberdeen HMA are expected to be delivered over the Plan period across only 7 sites, ranging in capacity from 465 units (Uryside Phase 2) to 4,405 units (Chapelton). These sites are noted within the table below. HLA Ref: Site Name Settlement Site Year Entered Effective Status Capacity Supply F/BA/H/030 Menie Estate Balmedie 500 2009 0 Outline PP F/BD/H/011 Blackdog M1 Blackdog 598 2014 233 Under Construction F/EL/H/042 Cromleybank Ellon 980 2013 170 Allocated G/IV/H/077 Crichie Inverurie 737 2012 125 Allocated G/IV/H/064 Uryside Ph 2 Inverurie 531 2006 280 Under Construction G/KT/H/028 Kintore East Kintore 600 2014 300 PPiP K/CH/H/001 Chapelton Chapelton 4,045 2011 370 Under Construction This places a significant reliance on a small number of sites to deliver as programmed and although the Council have identified a generous supply of housing land, the fact that the vast majority of units to be delivered are contained within only 7 sites, within this part of the HMA, does not provide suitable flexibility in the housing land supply to ensure the Housing Supply Target is met. To off-set this over-reliance on such large-scale sites, the Council should allocate additional sites at a smaller scale (i.e. sites up to 100 units) to ensure there is sufficient range and flexibility in the housing land supply. In addition to these concerns, from the 7 sites noted above, each of these sites have been included within the HLA for at least five years. This includes 4 sites that have been in the HLA and expected to deliver units for between 6-10 years, and 1 site that has been in the Audit since 2006. Moreover, only three of these sites are currently under construction and beginning to deliver houses. In review of the programming of the remaining sites through previous audits, these have formed part of the Council’s effective housing land supply since at least 2014 and continually pushed back. While these sites will still likely make a valuable contribution to the housing land supply over the plan period, the reliance on these sites to meet the Council’s Housing Supply Target, without delay, should not be ignored and additional smaller allocations be identified to ensure a generous and flexible housing land supply. Main Issue 10: Housing Numbers on Sites We agree with the Council’s approach in that housing allocations should provide an indicative capacity, rather than a maximum number, to ensure there is flexibility in bringing forward allocated sites during the period of the plan.

  • Portlethen Moss - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 4
    Portlethen Moss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 4 Portlethen Moss NFrom, 2°8′50.68 Wikipedia,″W (http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources the free encyclopedia /index.php?params=57_3_27.04_N_2_8_50.68_W_region:GB) The Portlethen Moss is an acidic bog nature reserve in the coastal Grampian region in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Like other mosses, this wetland area supports a variety of plant and animal species, even though it has been subject to certain development and agricultural degradation pressures. For example, the Great Crested Newt was found here prior to the expansion of the town of Portlethen. Many acid loving vegetative species are found in Portlethen Moss, and the habitat is monitored by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. True heather, a common plant on the The Portlethen Moss is the location of considerable prehistoric, Portlethen Moss Middle Ages and seventeenth century history, largely due to a ridge through the bog which was the route of early travellers. By at least the Middle Ages this route was more formally constructed with raised stonework and called the Causey Mounth. Without this roadway, travel through the Portlethen Moss and several nearby bogs would have been impossible between Aberdeen and coastal points to the south. Contents 1 History 2 Conservation status 3 Topography and meteorology 4 Evolution of Portlethen Moss 5 Vegetation 6 Relation to other mosses 7 References 8 See also History Prehistoric man inhabited the Portlethen Moss area as evidenced by well preserved Iron Age stone circles and other excavated artefacts nearby [1]. Obviously only the outcrops and ridge areas would have been habitable, but the desirability of primitive habitation would have been enhanced by proximity to the sea and natural defensive protection of the moss to impede intruders.

  • The Burnett Banner, the House of Burnett Inc
    THE BU RNETT BAN NER B Burnett Newsletter Edition No 9 (including House of Burnett March 2010 BURNETT ART GALLERY There are a large number of talented artists amongst the Burnetts and it is the intention to include one or two Burnett works in each edition of the Banner. Since this has only been a very recent idea, I have had no time to seek contributions but I am using this opportunity to invite Burnetts to submit work to me for inclusion in future Banners. I have to point out the editor’s decision for inclusion is final and space will be limited. However, I welcome all contributions, regardless of the form of art, and would be grateful if they could be accompanied by the title of the work and the briefest of CV’s of the artist. For the opening of the Gallery, and for reasons that include appropriateness, I have selected a painting of Crathes which was given to me by the late Ruth Burnett Phillips who so sadly died recently and whose obituary is later in this edition of the Banner. The painting hangs beside my desk in my study. My wife, Fiona, took up painting only very recently and her first painting, The Dotty Mug, hangs in our kitchen at House of Crathes. Whilst there are professionals waiting in the wings for inclusions in future editions of the Banner, I also thought that it Crathes Castle would be nice to start this column with two The Dotty Mug Burnetts who have worked in art solely for their own pleasure.

  • A41.1 Landscape Area Descriptions, Sensitivity, Magnitude of Change and Impact Significance
    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement Appendices 2007 Part D: Fastlink Appendix A41.1 Landscape Area Descriptions, Sensitivity, Magnitude of Change and Impact Significance 1 Landscape Area Descriptions, Sensitivity, Magnitude of Change and Impact Significance 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This appendix sets out the baseline landscape character using Local Landscape Character Areas (LLCA) to describe the Fastlink Study Area. For each LLCA the description includes location, topography, drainage, landuse, settlement, views, key characteristics, positive and negative attributes, designations, condition and scenic quality. Where an LLCA will be directly affected by the Fastlink proposals there is a statement of the landscape and visual aims with regard to mitigating the proposals. 1.1.2 The location of the Local Landscape Character Areas and landscape designations are shown on Figures 41.2a-b. 1.1.3 Photographs illustrating the characteristics of each Local Landscape Character Area are shown on Figures 41.4a-g. 1.1.4 In Table 41.1.15 the main elements of each LLCA, both directly and indirectly affected, are described and a judgement made of the value and susceptibility. The sensitivity of each element is then evaluated. 1.1.5 Both Landscape sensitivity and the magnitude of change are combined in Table A41.1.16. The framework given in Chapter 41 (Landscape), Table 41.4 was then used to help determine impact significance, taking into account mitigation proposals, for winter year of opening and in the summer after fifteen years. 1.2 Baseline Conditions 1.2.1 The LLCAs within the Fastlink Study Area are listed and described below in order of character type.

  • DIOCESAN DESCRIPTION Episcopal Election Profile - Diocese of Brechin
    THE DIOCESE OF BRECHIN Scottish Charity No SC016813 DIOCESAN DESCRIPTION Episcopal Election Profile - Diocese of Brechin The Diocesan Profile tells the story of a small and cohesive Diocese which has been making steady progress in addressing the challenges which face it. Valuable work has been done in drawing together the Diocesan family of clergy and people into a mission-focused family. There is new optimism and confidence about the future. The new Bishop of Brechin will become part of the College of Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church. We see this as a significant time in the life of our Church. Scottish society has become more secular and more open. This offers to the Scottish Episcopal Church the opportunity of building congregations and engaging with society in a way which was much more difficult in the past. We believe that this is a time of opportunity for us. We suffer the challenges which face all churches in dealing with lack of resources, particularly since the recent economic downturn. But we are a church rich in resources of faith, spirituality and devotion, with strengths in worship and in shared ministry and with the commitment of talented clergy and laity. I would be happy to meet with potential candidates who would like to discuss in more detail the challenges of this ministry. +David Bishop of St. Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane Primus October 2010 Introduction The Diocese comprises the east of Scotland between the village of Glencarse (just outside Perth and on the A90) and the outskirts of the city of Aberdeen. Geographically this is the smallest Diocese in the Scottish Episcopal Church (about the size of the Wakefield Diocese) but numerically matches a large English deanery, with 26 charges and 3083 persons of all ages belonging to the congregations.
