This Executive Summary summarises the STAG process undertaken in order to determine the study options to be taken forward to STAG 2 Appraisal. Doing nothing is not considered feasible due to the impacts and costs of continuing to operate ageing ferry and terminal infrastructure beyond its lifespan.

    Local Landscape Areas- Draft

    Shetland Local Development Plan Consultation Draft 2014 Supplementary Guidance Landscape Areas Local DRAFT LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Supplementary Guidance - Local Landscape Areas- Draft The Shetland Local Development Plan (the Plan), together with any Supplementary Guidance, sets out the policies and criteria against which planning applications submitted in Shetland will be considered. This Supplementary Guidance sets out detailed policy advice to help you meet the requirements of the Plan. It is therefore recommended that it is read in conjunction with the policies in the Plan and any other Supplementary Guidance relevant to the type of development proposed. The purpose of this Supplementary Guidance (SG) is to provide additional information and maps of the proposed Local Landscape Areas. Introduction The purpose of the Local Landscape Areas is to ensure sympathetic siting and design of new development within the Local Landscape Areas, (LLA). It is not the intention of the Council to prevent development, but to encourage appropriate consideration of the landscape. The introduction of Local Landscape Areas will help to protect and enhance some of Shetlands unique environment and may provide direction for access and tourism. The information used to devise the Local Landscape Areas SG has been produced from the research conducted by Land Use Consultants. The full report including the research methodology can be seen in Shetland Islands Local Landscape Designation Review. The proposed Local Landscape Areas are; 1. Ronas Hill 2. Nibon and Mangaster 3. Vementry and West Burrafirth 4. Papa Stour and Sandness 5. Walls and Vaila 6. Culswick and Westerwick 7. Weisdale 8. Scat Ness and Sumburgh Head 9.

It outlines the reasons it is designated as an SSSI and provides guidance on how its special natural features should be conserved or enhanced. This Statement does not affect or form part of the statutory notification. We welcome your views on this statement. Natural features of Gutcher SSSI Condition of feature (date monitored) Structural and metamorphic geology: Moine. Favourable, maintained (January 2003) Description of the site The site is important because it contains a lot of information about the formation and closure of the Iapetus Ocean. The metamorphosed rocks show the extent of the deformation that accompanied ocean closure. The Valayre gneiss, is important because it holds key information on how the different parts that make up Shetland came together. It marks an important boundary between rocks of different origin. This site is not only important in the study of Shetland but also in a Scottish context because the rocks present can be matched with those found on the Mainland to provide a picture of the events that shaped Scotland. The island of Yell is composed mainly of metamorphic rocks (rocks which have been altered by extreme heat and pressure) belonging to a rock unit called the Yell Sound Division. These are very similar to the rocks of the Moine Supergroup, which underlies much of the northern Highlands of Scotland.

The first paper, by Phil Stone concerns the ultramafic rocks of the Ballantrae Ophiolite Complex and follows his article on the extrusive rocks that was published in issue 21. Another contribution by a member of the BGS land survey, David Gould, recounts the exploits of the society's long field excursion to Shetland in 1988. Two articles by recent graduates from Scottish universities have a continen­ tal flavour. Niall Fleming, formerly of Dundee University and now at Imperial College, describes his fieldwork on Gozo, the second largest of the Maltese islands. Niall spent seven weeks in the summer of 1988, studying the intriguing elliptical subsidence structures of Oligocene and Miocene age developed in sequences of marine carbonate rocks. The paper entitled "The Grant Institute Greenland Venture" describes field work on the Narsaq Igneous Complex in south west Greenland, undertaken by four students who graduated from the Grant Institute last year.

ENERGY ISLES WIND FARM ii APPENDIX 5.3 Appendix 5.3 Coastal Character Areas Introduction The Shetland Coastal Character Assessment (CCA) was prepared by the NAFC Marine Centre (NAFC) in 2016 with guidance from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), as part of the development of the Shetland Island’s Marine Spatial Plan. It provides information about the various coastal character types (CCTs) found around Shetland, the experiences the coast currently offers to local people and visitors, and identifies sensitivity to development. The report identifies and maps different coastal character types, describes the key features and character of each area and identifies any areas around the coast which are considered to be sensitive to onshore and/or offshore development. The report was developed so that it relates to the Shetland Landscape Character Assessment which was prepared by Gillespies in 1998.

STINGRAY TIDAL STREAM ENERGY DEVICE - PHASE 3 T/06/00230/00/REP URN 05/864 Contractor The Engineering Business Ltd The work described in this report was carried out under contract as part of the DTI Technology Programme: New and Renewable Energy, which is managed by Future Energy Solutions. The views and judgements expressed in this report are those of the contractor and do not necessarily reflect those of the DTI or Future Energy Solutions. First published 2005 ¤ Crown Copyright 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since 1997, The Engineering Business Ltd (EB) has been developing tidal stream generation technology. In 2002 EB designed, built and installed the worlds first full- scale tidal stream generator, the 150kW Stingray demonstrator. The Stingray concept is that the energy within tidal currents can be harnessed through oscillating hydroplanes. A full description of the concept and technology is presented in the Phase 1 and Phase 2 reports. Stingray was reinstalled in Yell Sound in the Shetland Islands between July and September 2003 for Phase 3 of the project.
