As Mr J Dickson and Mr D Thomson were in attendance to discuss their planning applications, the Chairman welcomed them both to the meeting and brought this agenda item forward. 2010/16/PCD Erect a 2.5kw micro wind turbine on a 6.5m mast, Hvidahus, Brae by James T Dickson. Mr Dickson explained that the main purpose of the wind turbine is to provide heat to the house. The turbine positioned at the front of the property means it will get the wind from the east and west, there will be no flicker effect and it’s the least obtrusive to the neighbours. He went on to say that the noise level is minimal and it’s to be situated 4m from the house and 17m from the road. Members don’t object to the application, but have slight concerns about the visual intrusion and safety aspect as the turbine is close to the road but will be guided by the planning process. 2010/2/PCO – To provide access road and main services installations (in detail-FFP) and 14 No House sites (in outline-PPP), Camp, Brae by Dennis Thomson Builders. Mr Thomson attended the meeting to discuss his planning application. Members don’t object to the housing development as the land is zoned for housing. They do have concerns about the noise and disruption during the construction phase and want to limit the rock-breaking to 5 ½ days per week. Keeping Saturday afternoon and the whole day on Sunday clear. 2010/4/PCD – Change of use from grazing land to community allotments, Fraser Peterson Centre, Firth, Mossbank, by Shetland Islands Council, Waste Services - No objections.

The Chairman reported that around half of the Community Councils and some members of the public responded to this.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis, within the context of the impact of external shocks on a peripheral economy, offers a soci- economic analysis of the effects of both World Wars and North Sea oil upon Shetland. The assumption is, especially amongst commentators of oil, that the impact of external shocks upon a peripheral economy will be disruptive of equilibrium, setting in motion changes which would otherwise not have occurred. By questioning the classic core-periphery debate, and re-assessing the position of Shetland - an island location labelled 'peripheral' because of the traditional nature of its economic base and distance from the main centres of industrial production - it is possible to challenge this supposition.
