Yet the pandemic meant that more people than ever before in communities, new Arcadis report finds Scotland’s capital city were not sure where their next meal would come from. As COVID-19 continues to dramatically change the way we all live, travel and behave, a new report from Arcadis has highlighted some of the key priorities for both local government and the general public, as authorities across the country look to deliver a recovery that builds back stronger communities. To better understand what the public, local government and public sector leaders see as the top priorities for post-COVID recovery in their areas, Arcadis carried out research covering 1,700 organisations and individuals. More than 60% of local government respondents agreed that a focus on ‘community wealth building’ would help to revitalise town centres. Meanwhile, with more than 1 in 3 members of the general public calling for a prioritisation of improvements to the high street, the research highlighted a growing consensus that the recovery should be a unique opportunity for a radical rethink of how we view our communities and live our lives. COVID-19 has shown just how important the strength and resilience of our communities should be. The public opinion polling showed a clear preference for prioritising local interventions that protect and improve public health, local amenities and the environment.

  • TICC Land Use Inquiry Evidence V0.5 CH
    Inquiry into the relationship between transport and land use planning policies Submission to Scottish Parliament Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee Submission from Transform Scotland, Friday 7th May 2010 1 Question 1: “Is enough thought given to providing modern integrated transport connectivity and sustainable public transport provision when preparing strategic and local development plans?” 1.1 Plenty of thought has gone into such issues over the past decade – but decisions continue to favour unsustainable development. As such, we would contend that there has been effectively no progress. 1.2 To illustrate this, we refer to the uncontrolled greenfield sprawl currently being planned for the outskirts of Aberdeen. 1.3 Should it be built, the proposed Aberdeen western bypass (“Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route”) will despoil the western Green Belt of the City.1 1.4 A foretaste of the destruction that will follow along the route of the proposed road can be seen by observing the sites currently being opened up for development on the existing southern approaches to the City. • All of these sites are entirely car-dependent. • There has been no provision of high-quality public transport provision prior to the development of these sites.2 • There is no provision for road traffic demand management. 1.5 In effect, what is being planned is car-dependent commuter sprawl. This is not an accidental process. It is with the active support and encouragement of the two local authorities (Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council), their strategic planning functions, and the regional transport partnership (NESTRANS). The development is also due to proceed with the active support of the Scottish Parliament itself.

  • “Intelligence” Return to Some Sort of Normality Is Within Reach – Hopefully!”
    lismore-re.com “Intelligence” Scottish Investment Market Quarterly Review March 2021 WELCOME “A more positive outlook, the “Intelligence” return to some sort of normality is within reach – hopefully!” The new year certainly didn’t bring the news we had hoped for with a return to a countrywide lockdown. The Government’s timetable for restrictions to be eased has been welcomed, however by the time the most significant restrictions are eased, it will have been 5 months since the much needed Christmas break. The roll out of vaccinations has (so far) progressed quickly and efficiently, providing light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel! The true impact of the economic shutdown over the last 12 months has yet to be fully realised, however the impact on the various property sub-sectors has been pronounced. The logistics /industrial juggernaut moves apace but we believe any talk of the demise of offices is hugely over-stated, with the majority of workers keen to reconnect with colleagues in an attractive, healthy and flexible environment. The Living sector continues to be top of many investors buying lists but it is the retail sector which has seen the most severe reaction – both negative and positive. From “value destruction” and “re-purposing” in the shopping centre and high street sectors through to “resilience” and “opportunity” the buzz words in the foodstore/convenience and best located retail warehousing sectors. Structural change for sure but not total decimation. With this backdrop, in addition to our regular market analysis, our focus this quarter is on the retail sector and the significant impact of the last year which has fundamentally changed the retail landscape.
