Geology, Hydrology and Hydrogeology 13.1 Summary 13.1.1 This chapter considers the potential effects of the proposed Limekiln Wind Farm Section 36C Variation Application (hereafter referred to as the ‘Revised Consented Development’) on geology, hydrology and hydrogeology. 13.1.2 The scope of the assessment was determined through a combination of a desk study to identify the baseline water environment setting relating to the site and surrounding area and consultation with relevant stakeholders. 13.1.3 The assessment has highlighted several potential effects on site hydrology and hydrogeology, primarily during wind farm construction, but potentially also during site operation. These effects are associated with a range of activities, most notably access track construction. The most serious potential effects are associated with sediment-laden runoff from exposed ground entering watercourses. 13.1.4 Mitigation measures incorporated into the scheme’s design would reduce the likelihood and magnitude of a pollution event or other impact resulting from the Revised Consented Development’. These mitigation measures have been defined for each element of the on-site development. The measures would be undertaken in accordance with current best practice and would ensure that there are no significant effects on hydrological or hydrogeological receptors as a result of the Rpevised Consented Development. 13.1.5 Also, no significant operational, decommissioning or cumulative effects are predicted as a result of the Revised Consented Development. 13.2 Introduction 13.2.1 This chapter considers the potential effects of the Revised Consented Development on geology, hydrology and hydrogeology during its construction, operation and decommissioning phases. Background 13.2.2 An assessment of the potential hydrological and hydrogeological effects of the proposed Limekiln Wind Farm was undertaken for the Environmental Statement (ES) submitted in 2012. The assessment was based on the collection of a wide range of data and information from published material, plus consultations with statutory bodies, principally the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and The Highland Council (THC), and other stakeholders relating to the local and wider hydrological environment. In addition, a site visit by a Wood hydrologist was undertaken on 03 November 2011, which permitted an inspection of water features and an assessment of the existing land use within the site. 13.2.3 The original proposal was the subject of a Public Local Inquiry (PLI). The overall conclusions in the Report to Scottish Ministers in 2015 stated that ‘Other than the potential impact on wild land, we conclude that the proposal would not give rise to any detrimental impacts, either singly or cumulatively, sufficient to outweigh the benefits of the proposal.’ 13.2.4 In 2016 the Applicant submitted a Section 36 Application with the same proposed infrastructure and layout as the first Section 36 Application submitted Geology, Hydrology and Hydrogeology June 2021 Volume 1: Written Statement Chapter 13 – Page 1 Limekiln Wind Farm Section 36C Variation EIA Report in 2012. The Application, ES and other documents that were submitted in support took account of relevant changes in policy or guidance that had occurred in the intervening period since the first Application and was supported by additional information regarding wild land and updated information on cumulative impacts. 13.2.5 In February 2017 the planning committee of THC voted to object to the Section 36 Application on the grounds of a loss of recreational amenity close to the village of Reay and an unacceptable impact on Wild Land Area 39 - East Halladale Flows. The Scottish Ministers therefore referred the Section 36 Application to the Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals (DPEA) to be examined at PLI. 13.2.6 In response to this, the Applicant removed three turbines (T19, T20 and T21) and the associated access tracks from the proposed wind farm. Supplementary Information (SI) to support this layout was submitted in September 2017 and it was consented by the Scottish Ministers in June 2019 (hereafter it is referred to as the ‘Consented Development’). The Applicant has subsequently satisfied the planning conditions required for construction to commence and has commenced construction. 13.2.7 Table 13.1 presents a summary of the conclusions from the previous applications highlighted above, and from the Revised Consented Scheme.

  • Caithness County Council
    Caithness County Council RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: CC Alternative reference number: Title: Caithness County Council Dates of creation: 1720-1975 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 10 bays of shelving Format: Mainly paper RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: Caithness County Council Administrative history: 1889-1930 County Councils were established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. They assumed the powers of the Commissioners of Supply, and of Parochial Boards, excluding those in Burghs, under the Public Health Acts. The County Councils also assumed the powers of the County Road Trusts, and as a consequence were obliged to appoint County Road Boards. Powers of the former Police Committees of the Commissioners were transferred to Standing Joint Committees, composed of County Councillors, Commissioners and the Sheriff of the county. They acted as the police committee of the counties - the executive bodies for the administration of police. The Act thus entrusted to the new County Councils most existing local government functions outwith the burghs except the poor law, education, mental health and licensing. Each county was divided into districts administered by a District Committee of County Councillors. Funded directly by the County Councils, the District Committees were responsible for roads, housing, water supply and public health. Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archive 1 Provision was also made for the creation of Special Districts to be responsible for the provision of services including water supply, drainage, lighting and scavenging. 1930-1975 The Local Government Act (Scotland) 1929 abolished the District Committees and Parish Councils and transferred their powers and duties to the County Councils and District Councils (see CC/6).

In advance of the item being presented, Members of the Committee agreed to defer the item to consider information presented to them in December 2016 by Scottish Natural Heritage as a member of the Peatland Partnership in relation to the tentatively listed World Heritage Site for the Flow Country. 1.2 Scottish Natural Heritage were asked, via the Scottish Government’s Energy Consents and Deployment Unit (ECDU), the following questions: 1. Why was the tentatively listed Flow Country World Heritage site not specifically referred to (and assessed as such) in SNH’s consultation response of 31 August 2016? 2. Without recourse to a full survey or assessment, what impact, if any, would the above proposed development have on the tentatively listed World Heritage Site? 3. Would the conditioned mitigation detailed in the SNH response for Caithness and Sutherland Peatlands SAC and the Caithness and Sutherland Peatlands SPA be sufficient for the tentatively listed Flow Country World Heritage site? (If not, why not and what would be required to mitigate the impact/s on the tentatively listed Flow Country World Heritage site?) 4.

  • Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol
    Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol. 22 : Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies 1 Vol. 22: Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh (East Sutherland & Caithness) Author: Kurt C. Duwe 2nd Edition January, 2012 Executive Summary This publication is part of a series dealing with local communities which were predominantly Gaelic- speaking at the end of the 19 th century. Based mainly (but not exclusively) on local population census information the reports strive to examine the state of the language through the ages from 1881 until to- day. The most relevant information is gathered comprehensively for the smallest geographical unit pos- sible and provided area by area – a very useful reference for people with interest in their own communi- ty. Furthermore the impact of recent developments in education (namely teaching in Gaelic medium and Gaelic as a second language) is analysed for primary school catchments. Gaelic once was the dominant means of conversation in East Sutherland and the western districts of Caithness. Since the end of the 19 th century the language was on a relentless decline caused both by offi- cial ignorance and the low self-confidence of its speakers. A century later Gaelic is only spoken by a very tiny minority of inhabitants, most of them born well before the Second World War. Signs for the future still look not promising. Gaelic is still being sidelined officially in the whole area. Local council- lors even object to bilingual road-signs. Educational provision is either derisory or non-existent. Only constant parental pressure has achieved the introduction of Gaelic medium provision in Thurso and Bonar Bridge.

  • 1 COMMUNITY TRANSPORT INQUIRY TRANSPORT for TONGUE LTD WRITTEN SUBMISSION How Can Community Transport Systems Be Improved? Trans
    COMMUNITY TRANSPORT INQUIRY TRANSPORT FOR TONGUE LTD WRITTEN SUBMISSION How can community transport systems be improved? Transport for Tongue (T4T) was delighted that the You Tube video clip chosen to demonstrate Community Transport in Scotland was our community transport organisation, Transport for Tongue, which was showcased in Brussels when O4O (Older People for Older People) won the prestigious Regios Stars Award in 2012 for Successful Innovative Practice in Rural Communities. Case Study of a Community Transport Organisation Why: No Public Transport infrastructure in our community on the North Coast of Mainland Scotland (Highland): the Post Bus transport provision had recently been withdrawn. Subsequently the Day Care provision by the Local Authority was withdrawn, including the transport to it, with implications for the continued well- being of the older, most vulnerable and isolated members of our community. Already, people had started to move out of the area because they had no access to transport. Lack of public transport provision was identified as the priority need in every community survey carried out. What: Within 4 years of beginning operation, T4T, an incorporated not for profit community organisation, now has 3 vehicles all with wheelchair/disabled access providing transport for people of all ages and abilities: 1. Under a Section 19 transport permit provides a Door to Door car service for transport to services, amenities and opportunities for social interaction within the community: passengers pay a charge per mile. The service is provided by volunteers using their own cars or using the T4T wheelchair access car if required. Also provides transport to nearest rail link and Dentist (40 miles) 2.

  • Discover Thurso Tourism Workshops—Learning Summary
    Discover Thurso Tourism Workshops—Learning Summary Workshop Purpose The rationale behindLocalisation Workshops is to connect the peo- ple who interact with our visitors to the information than can enhance their time here and create a better sense of Thurso. Ever heard someone say Thurso under-sells itself? Discover Thurso workshops aim to empower people to not only sell the town, but to champion Thurso’s tourism offering. Why Localisation No other organisation across Scotland is responsible for or even qualified to specifically promote Thurso; it’s something we have to do ourselves. Many of our visitors may just be passing through on the NC500, or staying 1-night before heading to Orkney, but they’re a captive audience—they’re looking for things like golden sand beaches, 2,000 year old monuments, castles, whisky, Scottish food, the Northern Lights, traditional music and so on. Things we can offer readily. If we localise our knowledge and our conversations with tourists—that is, to focus them on Thurso— we’re spreading a positive message about the town to people who, even if they don’t come back to Scotland one day, will definitely be telling friends about wee places that caught their eye on the way round. What you can do… 1. Engage Tourists—Dornoch scores incredibly well when it asks its visitors whether they’d consider returning to the town, in large part to their hospitality. They asked their visitors what the most positive aspect to their stay in Dornoch was—the answer? Engaging with friendly locals. 2. Know the town, make recommendations—A Thurso bartender recently made a couple’s day when she was able to recommend Wolfburn and Dunnet Bay Distillery tours as activities for a rainy day.
