Introduction 2. URS Review of North Lanarkshire Local Landscape Character (2015) 3. Kilsyth Hills Special Landscape Area (SLA) 4. Clyde Valley Special Landscape Area (SLA) Appendices Appendix 1 - URS Review of North Lanarkshire Local Landscape Character (2015) 1. 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. The Report recommends that these two areas are identified as Special Landscape Areas within the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan Modified Proposed Plan and supported by specific policy protection. 2.3 North Lanarkshire Council has taken onboard the recommendations from this Report and has incorporated them into the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan Modified Proposed Plan. It is therefore important that this Report and the two Special Landscape Areas below are taken into consideration in relation to any wind turbine proposals. 2.4 A copy of the URS Review of North Lanarkshire Local Landscape Character (2015) is available in Appendix 1. 3. Kilsyth Hills Special Landscape Area (SLA) 3.1 Following the URS Review of North Lanarkshire Local Landscape Character, two exemplar LLUs identified, of which the Kilsyth Hills LLU was one, and should be designated as a Special Landscape Area (SLA). This SLA‘s Statement of Importance explains in detail why this proposal should be taken forward. 3.2 The value of the Kilsyth Hills LLU is a result of its largely undeveloped nature and importance as a contrasting feature and backdrop to other landscape types. The character of the local landscape is therefore considered to be “highly sensitive to development”, as the introduction of artificial structures could adversely affect the key characteristics and value of the landscape. 3.3 The designation of the Kilsyth Hills SLA is considered particularly important given the prominent presence and perceived value of the landscape, both locally and in a regional context and the landscape’s limited capacity to change without adverse impact. Additionally the landscape is valued both locally and regionally as an important setting for outdoor recreation and low-impact sustainable tourism. 3.4 A copy of the Statement of Landscape Importance for the Kilsyth Hills Special Landscape Area Background Report is available on the Council’s Website. 4. Clyde Valley Special Landscape Area (SLA) 4.1 Following the URS Review of North Lanarkshire Local Landscape Character, two exemplar LLUs identified, of which the Clyde Valley LLU was one, and should be designated as a Special Landscape Area (SLA). This SLA‘s Statement of Importance explains in detail why this proposal should be taken forward. 4.2 The value and the key characteristics of the Clyde Valley LLU relates to the limited settlement and overall impression of a well-cared for agricultural landscape. The north side of the Clyde Valley in North Lanarkshire towards Garrion Bridge is more contained by slopes, with deeply incised valley spurs off the main broad valley, each of which have very limited and contained views into and out of the incisions. The valley provides a contrast to the adjacent large urban areas to the north. The landscape is highly sensitive to development which does not relate to its agricultural character. 4.3 The designation of the Clyde Valley SLA is considered particularly important given the relative uniqueness of this type of landscape within North Lanarkshire. It is the prominent presence and perceived value of the landscape, both locally and in a regional context, with the landscape’s limited capacity to change without adverse impact on its character. The valley is an important visitor destination with a series of long-established garden centres as well as outdoor recreation in the form of the long distance Clyde Valley Walkway, a route of regional importance and the various local paths which link to the Walkway through the surrounding woodlands and the countryside. 4.4 A copy of the Statement of Landscape Importance for the Clyde Valley Special Landscape Area Background Report is available on the Council’s Website.

  • A Vision for COATBRIDGE
    A Vision for NORTH LANARKSHIRE TOWNS A Vision for COATBRIDGE Welcome to our online consultation event in relation to North Lanarkshire Council’s draft Town Vision for Coatbridge as part of ‘The Place The Vision’ Ambition Programme to transform our towns as more appealing liveable and successful places. 1 A Vision for NORTH LANARKSHIRE TOWNS: COATBRIDGE Welcome North Lanarkshire Council are developing Town Visions to inform the long term future and transformation of its towns. So far, the initial thinking has been shared with some of our partner agencies including Scottish Government, NHS Lanarkshire, Police Scotland, Fire & Rescue, Colleges and with Council members and officers. We are committed to local engagement. Community input and support is a fundamental part of building a shared vision and future plans. This initial community engagement will help us develop the plans and gives you, the community of Coatbridge, an opportunity to look at the high-level proposals and have your say on what should be the future of your town. The consultation sets out some initial thinking. This engagement will run online for 6 weeks, representing the start of local consultation and engagement. We look forward to receiving your thoughts. All feedback will be recorded and considered in developing the Vision. 2 A Vision for NORTH LANARKSHIRE TOWNS: COATBRIDGE What is a Town Vision? The Town Vision is a high-level strategy it is not a traditional plan or masterplan but rather a concept as to how the town could develop over time. In looking to the future, we believe our Towns need to be: • places for people to live, learn, work, invest and visit • places that are valued, appealing and liveable • places that embrace challenges and our responsibilities to the future • places that are dynamic and creative • places that support successful and thriving communities Importantly the Vision needs to consider how to help support, strengthen and re-build our towns beyond the COVID pandemic and continue to support communities in an open, sustainable and inclusive way.
