Kaimes Renewable Energy Park
Customer Ref: 01736 Response Ref: ANON-KU2U-GPGW-V Supporting Info Name Scott Hobbs Planning Email [email protected] Response Type Agent / Consultant On behalf of: Kaimes Renewable Energy Park Choice 1 A We want to connect our places, parks and green spaces together as part of a city-wide, regional, and national green network. We want new development to connect to, and deliver this network. Do you agree with this? - Select support / don't support Short Response Yes Explanation Yes. In principle this is a good approach to delivering a sustainable, active and connected city. However, it is considered that the Choices paper has not considered all matters which should be considered in the emerging development plan in relation to sustainable development, in particular renewable energy and energy storage. The City Plan 2030 states “our city must address the impacts of climate change whilst providing people with a great place to live” however, does not provide any reference to renewable energy. Instead the plan focuses on green and blue infrastructure, water management and green space. Whilst these will contribute to delivering a sustainable city, the contributions are small in comparison to the benefits offered by renewable energy developments (including solar). The National Planning Framework 3 (NPF3) sets out the vision for Scotland which includes being a successful, sustainable place, a low carbon place and a natural, resilient place. In relation to the vision to achieve a low carbon Scotland, NPF3 recognises that, for Edinburgh, “energy will be an increasingly important sector, centred on the city and at sites around the Forth”. -

Transcription Template
Transcript of recorded conversation with Laurence Demarco and Dr Gillian Murray (Abercorn on Friday 5th December 2014) Laurence trained as a community worker and worked in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh from 1976 until 1990. He Then worked as a consultant from 1990 to 1999, before founding Senscot in 1999. Senscot continues to be an important support organisation for social enterprise in Scotland today. How and at what point in your life did you become involved in social enterprise? Well I was involved in social enterprise long before it was called social enterprise. From memory I would say the mid-1990s but to trade I am a community worker. I think social enterprise the ideal model of it is when the social enterprise is a community enterprise. I think the model is perfectly suited for serving a particular community, owned by the people who live there. So I was involved in that activity for many years. I went to Wester Hailes in particular in 1976. I worked there for fourteen years setting up community enterprises of various kinds so I was no stranger to them. When I was in Wester Hailes we set up lots of trading businesses which the community owned. We set up the Wester Hailes Land and Property Trust which still trades and owns a lot of property. I was without of employment in 1999 and with a few other people I set up Senscot and that was explicitly to connect-up social entrepreneurs. We realised that across Scotland there were any number of people like myself setting things up in communities and that their work would be more effective if they were joined-up and told each other what they doing. -
