Introduction 1.1 Landscape designations play an important role in Scottish Planning Policy by protecting and enhancing areas of particular value. Scottish Planning Policy encourages local, non-statutory designations to protect and create an understanding of the role of locally important landscape have on communities. 1.2 In 2014, as part of the preparation of the North Lanarkshire Local Development Proposed Plan, a review of local landscape designations was undertaken by URS as part of wider action for landscape protection and management. 2. URS Review of North Lanarkshire Local Landscape Character (2015) 2.1 The purpose of the Review was to identify and provide an awareness of the special character and qualities of the designated landscape in North Lanarkshire and to contribute to guiding appropriate future development to the most appropriate locations. The Review has identified a number of Local Landscape Units (LLU) that are of notable quality and value within which future development requires careful consideration to avoid potential significant impact on their landscape character. 2.2 There are two exemplar LLUs identified in this study, Kilsyth Hills and Clyde Valley, which are seen as very sensitive to development. Both of these areas warrant specific recognition and protection, as their high landscape quality would be threatened and adversely affected by unsympathetic development within their boundaries.

    Hamilton Low Parks Proposed Local Nature Reserve Management Statement Contents Introduction General information Habitats, flora and fauna Landscape Cultural information Site infrastructure Recreation and access Local community Conclusion Contacts Appendix 1: Objectives and actions Appendix 2: Maps Introduction Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are valuable places as they combine protection of the natural heritage with opportunities for people to enjoy, learn about and experience nature close to their homes. LNRs are: • Statutory designations made under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. • Special places which are rich in wildlife. • Generally, readily accessible and suitable for people to visit and enjoy. In declaring these sites, South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) aims to: • Protect them from unsuitable developments. • Manage and enhance the habitats to help biodiversity flourish. • Improve public access. • Help people understand and become more aware of the importance of the LNR. • Encourage community participation and volunteering. SLC have identified sixteen new sites (and an extension to the existing LNR at Langlands Moss) to become designated as LNRs. These encompass a broad spectrum of habitats including ancient broadleaved woodland, open water, wetlands and grasslands. The site management statements are written in conjunction with the South Lanarkshire Biodiversity Strategy (2018-2022), SLC Sustainable Development and Climate Change Strategy (2017-22), SLC Local Development Plan (2013) and SLC Core Path Plan (2012). Vision statement Across South Lanarkshire, Local Nature Reserves are a resource for local communities that balance excellent recreational and educational opportunities with valuable habitats for wildlife that are rich in biodiversity General information Location and site boundaries: This composite LNR is to the north and east of Hamilton, in South Lanarkshire.
