  • Does the Proposed Housing Development Comply with the Stirling Local Development Plan 2018? No It Does Not
    Strathblane Community Council CHERIE CHRYSTAL, Case Officer Planning and Environmental Appeals Division 4 The Courtyard, Callendar Business Park, Falkirk FK1 1XR By email: [email protected]; [email protected] 15 August 2019 Dear Ms Chrystal PPA-390-2060-1 (Planning Authority ref:17/00434/PPP) PLANNING PERMISSION APPEAL: LAND 160 METRES SOUTH OF BROADGATE HOUSE CAMPSIE ROAD STRATHBLANE G63 9AB Strathblane Community Council thanks you for your letter inviting comments on the fresh appeal that is to be determined by the Reporter. We answer first the two questions raised in your letter, and then provide some more background and concluding observations. Does the proposed housing development comply with the Stirling Local Development Plan 2018? No it does not. For example: The proposal is plainly contrary to Green Belt designation confirmed in adopted LDP 2018 Primary Policy 1 (Placemaking). Policy 1.5 in more detail is against the development both by individual and cumulative impact. None of the exceptions in Policy 1.5 applies to this proposal. The LDP establishes the Green Belt boundary by the allocating land for a cemetery extension, where the present appellant intends to build up to 70 houses. Approval in this case would create a precedent for the same and other developers to force development all over the Green Belt1. The proposal conflicts with Primary Policy 3 (Provision of Infrastructure), by removing the site presently designated for the essential cemetery extension. 1 See pages 4 & 5 of Strathblane Community Council submission against application 17/00434/PPP dated 17 August 2017 (item CR011 in the appeal documents).

  • NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017
    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017 Further progress! The new fibre cabinet at the Killearn exchange is now live, accepting orders, and some residents have already got the service installed and working. Speeds are reported to be as expected at 30Mbps or more. So if you live in “The Trees”, nearby, or in the centre of the village, you should be able to get “super-fast broadband! About 50% of postcodes in the village are now connected to one of the fibre cabinets. Status of your individual connectivity can be checked on either of the WhereandWhen pages of the BT Openreach or Digital Scotland websites or in the tables at the end of this report. This site is also showing a download of the exchange roll-out list, but as this is only at exchange level, it doesn’t help very much. NOTE: Remember the Digital Scotland “Better Broadband Scheme” provides a subsidy to establish a better connection using either satellite or wireless for those currently getting download speeds of less than 2Mbps. See the KCC website for specific links. Balfron has also got more cabinets with 85% of the village now showing as “Accepting Orders”. Strathblane/Blanefield is in a similar position with slightly over 85% of the village covered. Buchlyvie has nearly 90% showing as connected while Croftamie/Drymen is showing nearly 60% Accepting Orders. All this does have to be qualified though as many premises are on long lines, and whilst they will see a significant benefit in speed (double or better), they will not achieve “super-fast” speeds.

THE OLD SURGERY, BUCHLYVIE Tuesdays 6pm ̶ 9pm Intrigued, the Courier decided to investigate. The notices brought to our attention that the whole of Killearn Primary School is enthusiastically involved in the Eco- Schools Project (www.ecoschoolsscotland.org), was awarded bronze and silver in 2005 and is now working towards the gold award. It is obviously making an impact on the children. Each class is doing a different aspect of caring for the environment. For example, Primary 5/6 is doing a project on litter, finding out what comprises litter, how effective different styles of notices are, what sort of bins encourage their use and so on. But this is not just classroom theory. If you look over the school hedge at lunchtime, you will see one of the class, complete with protective apron, a litter picker, a plastic sack and a clipboard going around the school grounds picking up each piece of litter and recording it. This survey not only shows what is causing the litter, but how effective the message not to drop litter is getting across.
