  • HMS EAGLE for Those Who Served in Her, but Many Others Will Read It: Wives, Parents, Sweethearts and Friends
    Introduction This is a book about HMS EAGLE for those who served in her, but many others will read it: wives, parents, sweethearts and friends. To those who do, may I suggest that you concentrate on reading between the lines. If you do this you will recognise at once the labour of love which the compilation of this book entailed. You will also recognise that here is the last saga of a Great Ship, prepared to fight if needed, prepared to aid anyone in distress, prepared to represent her country honourably on all occasions and in all parts of the world. In the many photographs you can meet the men of EAGLE, no less a band of brothers than the men of Nelson's ships. Between the lines in this book, with its frequent understatement, you will find an anatomy of the Royal Navy revealed in the character, courage, fortitude, humour and kindliness of EAGLE's officers and men. EDITOR'S NOTE - We regret that this souvenir book is in `paperback' form, but by sacrificing hard covers we have been able to include a lot more material than would otherwise have been possible with the money available. Should you wish for a copy bound in boards, then, it is quite easy to get this done by any bookbinder - it would not be very expensive. (For those of you in possession of the book of the first half of the commission, from 5 March 1969, the two could be bound together.) The author of the book of the first part of this last commission concluded by saying, `We'll be back'.

Roger Louis Based on archival work in England, Scotland, the United States, Canada and Australia, my dissertation expands the traditional purview of diplomatic history into the international dimensions of the social and cultural realms. My study treats doomed attempts to reconstruct previously-held notions of hierarchy and deference as encapsulated in the Empire Settlement Act (ESA) in the wake of the dramatic changes to the world order resulting from World War I. To counter the emergence of Japan as a world power, under the auspices of the ESA, British Columbia and Western Australia, the two most distant outposts of the “white” British Empire in the Pacific, imported poor Celtic farmers and militiamen from northern Scotland in an attempt to retain their iv “British” identity, which they felt was threatened by Japan on the one hand, the Japanese in their midst on another, and local “nationalisms” on a third.

The conflict's treatment in established academic works like James Hunter's The Making of the Crofting Community is discussed to highlight the way that the continued emphasis of the land issue into the 20th century, because of land hunger's 19th century prominence, has marginalised the First World War.

Construction of a new public slipway, installation of boat lift including a horizontal rail system supported on steel piles. Provision of a new passing place at the northern end of the Goat island causeway through reclaiming an area of land. RESPONSE TO MARINE LICENCE CONSULTATION Cultural Heritage and Archaeology Cultural Heritage and Archaeology are covered in Chapter 6 of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report. Following on from recommendations made at the consultation and scoping phase of this project, this document sets out the assessment methodology and results of investigations in both the terrestrial and marine zones. The effects of the proposed development have been examined against an assessment of importance of the historic environment assets identified, through desk based and walkover survey data both within and out with the development area.

  • Stornoway Wind Farm Ltd Stornoway Wind Farm
    Stornoway Wind Farm Ltd Stornoway Wind Farm Planning Statement Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited – April 2019 3 © Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited Executive summary Purpose of this report This Planning Statement supports an application under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 for a wind farm for up to 35 turbines and associated development (the Proposed Development) on land near Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis (the Development Site). It refers to and draws on the findings of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report prepared for the application. Chapter 4 of the EIA Report provides further information on the location of the Proposed Development and its description. It is material to the application for the Proposed Development that consent has previously been granted for a 36 turbine wind farm and associated development (the 'Consented Development') on the 'Development Site'. The Proposed Development would allow the installation of approximately 196 MW. The Consented Development has an installed capacity of 180MW, therefore the Proposed Development would increase the contribution towards Scotland’s target of 100 per cent of electricity production from renewable resources by 2020. This Planning Statement provides a justification for the Proposed Development; undertakes an assessment against relevant energy and planning policies, material considerations and provides a conclusion that demonstrates the need for the Proposed Development; that the Proposed Development is sustainable and supported by national policy and; that it broadly complies with the relevant Local Development Plan and other material considerations, and as a result consent should be granted.

    3-1 © Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited 3. Scheme Need, Alternatives and Iterative Design Process 3.1 Need for the Project 3.1.1 As set out in the revised Planning Statement 2020 and EIA Chapter 5, Scottish planning and energy policy provides strong support for wind development in principle and encourages local authorities to guide developments towards appropriate locations. 3.1.2 The Onshore Wind Policy Statement (December 2017) confirms the continuing importance of onshore wind, for meeting climate change targets; confirming that onshore wind is a vital component of the economic opportunity that renewables more generally create for Scotland. The Policy Statement identifies that the important role for onshore wind means that development in the right places must be supported, and – increasingly – the extension and replacement of existing sites, where acceptable, with new and larger turbines, based on an appropriate, case by case assessment of their effects and impacts. 3.1.3 The Scottish Energy Strategy (December 2017) and the Onshore Wind Policy Statement both recognise the role of onshore wind as a key contributor to the delivery of renewable energy targets – specifically the new 2030 50% energy from renewable sources target. 3.1.4 The Proposed Development would represent a significant contribution, not just in terms of renewable energy output, but in the savings associated with C02 output (see AI Appendix 9H: Peat Management Plan for calculations and information) and the revised Planning Statement 2020. The increase in renewable energy output as a result of the Proposed Development would ensure further progress towards meeting the national and international targets in limiting the amount of greenhouse gas emissions outlined in EIA Chapter 5.
