The proposal involves a major mixed use development on the site, which extends to 466 hectares (1,I 51 acres), the main elements of which are - Up to 3,500 new dwellings Up to 21 6,000 square metres of business/industry/storage/distribution A new town centre, with up to 57,600 square metres of retail floorspace, together with offices and other services, food and drink, major leisure facilities, a hotel, residential and community facilities 0 Major parkland areas New Roads, bus facilities and a new rail station 0 Schools In addition to the steelworks sites, the application also involves other land in the Windmillhill StreeVOrbiston Street area, required to form a new access into the site. Generally, the principle of redevelopment has been welcomed, but there have been substantial objections submitted in relation to the town centre proposal, and its impacts on other centres. These are fully considered in the accompanying report. It is recognised that there will be significant impacts arising from the proposal, but it is considered that these can be accepted if appropriate measures are taken to promote the restructuring of the existing centres of Motherwell and Wishaw, and if the scale and nature of the Ravenscraig proposals are strictly controlled. An alteration to the Structure Plan has been proposed, which would establish formal 'town centre' status for Ravenscraig, and enable about 30,000 square metres (net) of additional retail floorspace to be developed. This would provide a development plan context to enable the application to be considered to be appropriate, but the approval of the Scottish Ministers for this alteration would be required before the consent could be issued. The range of issues involved with this proposal has also necessitated the negotiation of a 'section 75' planning agreement, which would cover a range of specific restrictions on the development in addition to obligations to be delivered by the developer. A detailed explanation of this is contained in the accompanying report. A comprehensive report on the application, taking all the considerations into account, is attached. It is considered that, subject to strict controls, through both planning conditions and a planning agreement, and the approval of the Structure Plan Alteration by the Scottish Ministers, outline planning permission should be granted. If the Committee is minded to grant consent, the permission will not be issued until after the Structure Plan Alteration is approved, and the planning agreement executed. It should be noted that, if the Committee is minded to grant consent, the application will require to be notified to the Scottish Ministers. Recommendation: GRANT, subject to (i) the recordinglregistration of an agreement under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997; (ii) the approval of the Scottish Ministers of the proposed Alteration to the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Joint Structure Plan, agreed by the Structure Plan Joint Committee on 26 March 2003, and (iii) the following conditions. 1. That the development hereby permitted shall be started, either within five years of the date of this permission, or within two years of the date on which the first of the reserved matters are approved, whichever is the later. Reason: To accord with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. 2. That before development starts, further planning applications shall be submitted to the planning authority in respect of the following reserved matters:- the siting, design and external appearance of all buildings and other structures; the means of access to the site; the layout of the site, including all roads, footways, and parking areas; the provision of equipped play areas; the provision of public open space; the details of, and timetable for, the hard and soft landscaping of the site; details of management and maintenance of the areas identified in (d), (e) and (f) above; the design and location of all boundary walls and fences; the provision for loading and unloading of all goods vehicles; the phasing of the development; the provision of drainage works; the disposal of sewage; details of existing trees, shrubs and hedgerows to be retained, and details of existing and proposed site levels. Reason: To enable the Planning Authority to consider these aspects in detail. 3. That within three years of the date of this permission, the first of the applications for the approval of reserved matters, specified in condition 2 above, shall be made to the Planning Authority, and that application for approval of all reserved matters shall be made within twenty years of the date of this permission. Reason: To accord with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. 4. That, notwithstanding the generalities of condition 3 above, and the provisions of the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1990, planning applications for the approval of reserved matters for each part of the site shall be accompanied by a certificate from a recognised firm of chartered engineers, duly signed by a Chartered Engineer or Chartered Geologist of Geotechnical Advisor Status (ICE, SlSG 1993) confirming the mineral stability of the site. This certificate shall be based on a professionally supervised and regulated rotary drilling programme. Reason: To ensure the mineral stability of the site. 5. That, notwithstanding the generalities of condition 3 above, planning applications for the approval of reserved matters for each part of the site shall be accompanied by a scheme to deal with contamination on the site. The scheme shall include: i. The nature, extent and type(s) of contamination on the site ii. Measures to treathemove contamination to ensure the site is fit for the use(s) proposed iii. Measures to deal with contamination during construction works iv. Condition of the site on completion of decontamination measures Before any of the various elements of the proposals on any part of the site are occupied or brought into use the measures to decontaminate the site shall be fully implemented as approved by the planning authority Reason: To ensure the site is fit for the use(s) proposed. 6.

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 Scottish Economy Industrial Performance
    The Scottish Economy Industrial Performance the CBI survey. Responses are elicited not only from manufacturing but also construction, distribution and financial institutions. The results from the new SBS are therefore capable of a greater degree of disaggregation than those from the CBI. Over the last quarter there has been a fall in nominal interest rates and a strengthening of sterling. As at mid- April interest rates had fallen by one percentage point from their levels in February. This fall and the expectation of further reductions in interest rates, which have now materialised, will have influenced the replies of respondents to both the SBS and CBI surveys. Whilst the trade weighted exchange rate rose by about three percent over the last quarter it is unlikely that this will as yet have had any significant impact on export orders. It is likely that the outlook of respondents in this respect is still very much influenced by last year's sharp depreciation of sterling. BUSINESS SURVEY It was observed in the February Commentary that there appeared to be some indication of a recovery in economic activity. The With the Inauguration of the quarterly latest findings of both the SBS and CBI Scottish Business Survey (SBS) in October Surveys provide further evidence to this 1984 there are now two regular up-to-date effect.

Details The closure and subsequent demolition of Ravenscraig Ravenscraig is located between Motherwell and Wishaw Steelworks left a huge physical hole in the Motherwell / Wishaw urban fabric, and a huge economic and social hole in the community. The North Lanarkshire area was traditionally very dependent on steel and allied industries, and since 1979 has lost some 40,000 jobs. Preparation of the Master Plan in 1997 required an appreciation of these wider issues and the physical design of buildings, streets and public spaces had to take account of the constraints posed by ground contamination, deep foundations, large drainage culverts (including the South The legacy of the Ravenscraig steelworks Calder Water), high voltage cables and railway lines. (shown here in 1922) is a site largely constrained by sub-surface structures The design response has been to propose an orthogonal grid (which takes a cue from Craig’s New Town Plan of 1767 for Edinburgh) aligned with these sub-surface constraints. This provides a flexible framework that is capable of accommodating over 3000 new homes, a full range of community and leisure facilities, a variety of employment opportunities (from large single users to small workshops) and an efficient public transport network - all contained within an outstanding landscape setting.

    Soil metal concentrations and land quality Clyde Basin Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 108, 191–216, 2019 The Geosciences in Europe’s Urban Sustainability: Lessons from Glasgow and Beyond (CUSP) Soil metal/metalloid concentrations in the Clyde Basin, Scotland, UK: implications for land quality F. M. Fordyce1*, P. A. Everett1, J. M. Bearcock2 and T. R. Lister2 1 British Geological Survey, The Lyell Centre, Research Avenue South, Edinburgh EH14 4AP, UK. Email: [email protected] 2 British Geological Survey, Environmental Science Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG, UK. *Corresponding author Abstract An assessment of topsoil (5–20cm) metal/metalloid (hereafter referred to as metal) concentrations across Glasgow and the Clyde Basin reveals that copper, molybdenum, nickel, lead, antimony and zinc show the greatest enrichment in urban versus rural topsoil (elevated 1.7–2.1 times; based on median values). This is a typical indicator suite of urban pollution also found in other cities. Similarly, arsenic, cadmium and lead are elevated 3.2–4.3 times the rural background concentrations in topsoil from the former Leadhills mining area. Moorlands show typical organic-soil geochemical signatures, with significantly lower (P<0.05) concentrations of geogenic elements such as chromium, copper, nickel, molybdenum and zinc, but higher levels of cadmium, lead and selenium than most other land uses due to atmospheric deposition/trapping of these substances in peat. In farmland, 14% of nickel and 7% of zinc in topsoil samples exceed agricultural maximum admissible concentrations, and may be sensitive to sewage-sludge application. Conversely, 5% of copper, 17% of selenium and 96% of pH in farmland topsoil samples are below recommended agricultural production thresholds.
