  • National Planning Framework 4 Scottish Enterprise Submission
    NATIONAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK 4 SCOTTISH ENTERPRISE SUBMISSION Scottish Enterprise (SE) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Scottish Government’s ‘Call for Ideas’ for National Planning Framework 4. NPF4 is being prepared at a time of unprecedented change and uncertainty; climate change, Brexit, and an aging population among many. The Coronavirus pandemic has caused the deaths of many and SE’s immediate priority is the resilience and recovery of the Scottish economy. Once the pandemic has subsided, the restructuring of the Scottish economy will need to begin in order to deal with the massively devastating impact the virus has had on all sectors and industries. In addition, the need for a robust and reliable digital infrastructure has never been clearer in light of the impact of the virus on everyday work and life in Scotland. SE is of the view that developing Scotland’s digital infrastructure (both international sub-sea connections and internal digital infrastructure) is essential to ensure Scotland has the resilience to handle disruptions such as Covid-19, and is more generally capable of embracing the emerging data heavy technologies that will form part of a progressive and outward facing digital economy. This submission represents SE’s contribution to delivering a co-ordinated, impactful response to secure a positive, fair and inclusive future for all of Scotland’s population which addresses these challenges. NPF4 will need to consider what Scotland should look like in 2050 and how it will have addressed the challenges and opportunities that will be faced in the intervening period. Clearly issues of the range and complexity that must be addressed through NPF4 will require Planning to interface in a co-ordinated and constructive manner across all relevant disciplines.

  • Assessment of Overprovision
    Consultation on Statement of Licensing Policy Assessment of Overprovision August 2018 Background – Why consult? The Licensing Board requires to carry out an assessment of overprovision of licensed premises within its area to be included within its Statement of Licensing policy in terms of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the Act”). In doing so, the Board may decide that its whole area is overprovided, that specific localities are overprovided, or that there are no overprovision localities in its area. The current Statement of Licensing Policy is under review and formal consultation on the review of the current policy is underway. During its initial informal consultation on its policy between October and December 2017 the Board invited comment on the overprovision assessment contained in its policy as one of the issues where it specifically sought views. A range of written responses were received and the Board held hearings in May to consider these further. The Board also hosted a workshop in May on the general subject of overprovision to encourage discussion among all interested parties and Board members. What information has the Board received? Amongst the consultation responses received, specific localities were highlighted to the Board for consideration as potentially showing characteristics of overprovision. In particular, the Board was asked to consider the localities highlighted by Police Scotland, the Edinburgh Alcohol and Drugs Partnership and NHS Lothian and the statistical evidence provided by each consultee in support of these localities. Police Scotland, EADP and NHS Lothian highlighted 23 localities identified by reference to Intermediate Data Zone geographical areas (IDZs) within Edinburgh where statistics about alcohol-related health harms and alcohol-related crime were above the Edinburgh average by 50% or more.

Evidence for its use as a river-name in Britain is seen in Ptolemy’s Ábou [potamoũ ékbolai], PNRB pp. 240-1 ‘estuary of the river *Āβ’. This apparently corresponds to the Ouse and Humber (see hū). Hæfe in ASC(E) s.a. 710, apparently the R Avon Stg/WLo (see below) may be another example: see PNWLo p. xviii, SPN² p. 242 and Nicolaisen (1960). Maybe a common noun used to refer to rivers was understood as a name by both the Romans and the English, but cf. [stagnum fluminis] Abae VC131, where Adomnán evidently regards it as a river-name, the R Awe Arg (CPNS pp. 75, 77 and 477). A form with a locative suffix is seen in Abisson PNRB pp.
