Settlement Proposals 7. Policies 8. Appendix 3 1. Introduction 1.1 The FIFEplan Local Development Plan was adopted on 21 September 2017 (Click here to view Adopted FIFEplan) it sets out the Council’s planning strategies and policies to guide and manage future development in Fife. It describes where and how the development will take place in the area over the 12 years from 2014-2026 to meet the future environmental, economic, and social needs, and provides an indication of development beyond this period. FIFEplan is framed by national and regional policy set by the National Planning Framework and the two Strategic Development Plans. Other strategic policies and Fife Council corporate objectives also shape the land use strategy as illustrated below. 4 1.2 This Action Programme accompanies FIFEplan by identifying what is required to implement FIFEplan and deliver its proposals, the expected timescales and who is responsible. Throughout the preparation of the plan, Fife Council has maintained close partnerships with key stakeholders, the Scottish Government, and other organisations named in the document. These organisations have a responsibility to alert the Council of any changes to the proposals. The Action Programme is important to Fife Council because the implementation of FIFEplan will require actions across different Council services. •The LDP Action Programme FIFEplan lists the infrastructure required to support Action Programme development promoted by the Plan •The Council prepares their Plan for Fife business plan for the year.

    Breakfast Programme

    The Celebration of the Wedding of HRH Prince William of Wales & Miss Catherine Middleton Site Map 2 About the Event Today, two of St Andrews’ most famous recent graduates are due to be married in Westminster Abbey in London with the eyes of the world upon them. As the town in which they met and their relationship blossomed, we are delighted to be able to welcome you to our celebrations in honour of the Royal Couple, HRH Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton. A variety of entertainment and activities await, building up towards the big moment at around 10:45am where the Royal Couple will be making their entrance into the Abbey for the ceremony itself (due to start at 11am). This will be shown live on the large outdoor screen situated in the main Quadrangle. The “Wedding Breakfast” will be served from 8am on the lower lawn from the marquee with a selection of hot and cold food/drink available. Food will also be on sale throughout the day from local vendors. After the ceremony, and the traditional ‘appearance at the balcony’ the entertainment on the main stage will pick up again, taking the party on to 4pm. The main purpose of the day, aside from having fun, is to raise money for the Royal Wedding Charitable Fund. The list of charities we will be collecting for appears later in the programme. Most of what you see today is provided for free, but we would encourage you to please give generously. The organising committee hope you enjoy this momentous occasion and we are sure you will join with us in extending our warmest wishes and heartfelt congratulations to “Wills & Kate” as they look forward to a long and happy life together.

  • History of the Gatty Marine Laboratory

    HISTORY OF THE GATTY MARINE LABORATORY IN ST ANDREWS SCOTLAND M. S. Laverack Professor of Marine Biology, Formerly Director, Gatty Marine Laboratory, University of St Andrews, G. Adrian Horridge Ian Johnson Emeritus Professor of Neurobiology etc Australian National University Canberra, Australia (formerly Director 1960- 1969) 2 Introduction The study of the sea and its contents has fascinated man since his earliest recorded moments. The middens of numerous archeological sites reveal remains of seafood in the form of shells; illustrations at the Valley of Kings in Lower Egypt show that the Pharaohs were aware of squids and other marine organisms, and the Greeks had a word for it. Many investigators have travelled and reported their findings, and in Britain most children have spent summer holidays by the sea, not perhaps these days in Brighton or Blackpool, but in places where shore collecting can still be done. The effect of oil spills like the Torrey Canyon, of sewage outfalls, and of indiscriminate fishing or seal culling are all matters that arouse great public interest. The British Isles have fathered many generations of fishermen and of seafarers pursuing commerce and exploration around the world and the island waters. They have reported many events, both commonplace and unusual and all require explanation. Biological investigations beside the sea have been going on now in a determined and planned way for nearly two hundred years. Initially these were conducted as forays to the sea by scientists usually living elsewhere, but eventually it became obvious that more could be done either from boats or from the shore stations at the sea's edge, or even from both together.
