SEPA is broadly supportive of new woodland planting, but is concerned with potential impact of new planting on wetlands, with specific emphasis on groundwater dependant terrestrial ecosystems (GWDTEs), common in peatland areas. As native tree regeneration is supported by national policy, including Scottish Forestry Strategy, SEPA will take a different approach to protecting wetland on sites proposed for native woodland (both regeneration and planting) then in case of commercial planting. The plan should contain information on how springs, flushes and bogs are to be protected on areas proposed for new native woodland creation. If new commercial planting is proposed, all relevant surveys need to be carried out and the results shown on map, including proposed new planting, drainage overlain on vegetation maps. If any GWDTEs are present, they should be highlighted in the plan. Any new commercial planting and/or new infrastructure should avoid impacting on GWDTEs (100m & 250 m buffers apply). Proposals to make use of any waste wood on site should comply with SEPAs Guidance: Management of Forestry Waste. The applicant should justify how application of any forestry material (mulching, fell to recycle or use of brush) would facilitate or improve the restoration of the site as a whole. The amount of tree material that can be used on site must be fit for purpose and must not result in harm to the environment (e.g. nutrient enrichment). The concept (constraints) map should identify any private water supplies and drainage ditches which direct connect to the water environment. If they are present, the plan should contain commitment to address the relevant issues (e.g. buffers). SEPA expect all proposed forestry activities to adhere to best practice guidance (as per UKFS and Guidelines).

    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.

    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 6.2 NORTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE Report No PLN/092/13 22 October 2013 13/01494/FUL: Wester Ross Fisheries Ltd Loch Kanaird, Eastern Side Of Isle Martin Report by Head of Planning and Building Standards SUMMARY Description : Marine Fish Farm (Atlantic Salmon) Alterations to existing site to create single group of 46 square steel pens each 15m x 15m and allow for the installation of an automated feed barge. Recommendation - GRANT planning permission Ward : 06 - Wester Ross, Strathpeffer and Lochalsh Development category : Local Pre-determination hearing : None Reason referred to Committee : More than 5 objections and objection from consultee which cannot be resolved by conditions. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The proposed development involves replacement of equipment at an existing salmon farm and addition of a feed barge. This would expand the physical installation (a31% increase in the total cage area) but the moorings area required would be more compact (a 37% decrease). The two groups of existing square cages, one steel and the other wood, would be replaced by a single group of 46 square steel cages each 15m x 15m. The developer also wishes to install a 150-tonne capacity automated feed barge 10m x 14.5m by 5.5m high when empty to distribute feed to the fish cages. The applicant intends to install moorings between the fish farm installation and Isle Martin to allow the mooring of harvesting raft and similar equipment when they are not in use. 1.2 The applicant is of the view that the existing ageing cage configuration is no longer fit for purpose.

  • The Minor Intrusions of Assynt, NW Scotland: Early Development of Magmatism Along the Caledonian Front

N. YOUNG AND I. PARSONS 1 British Geological Survey, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3LA, UK 2 Department of Geology and Mineralogy, University of Aberdeen, Marischal College, Broad Street, Aberdeen AB24 3UE, UK 3 Baker Hughes Inteq, Barclayhill Place, Portlethen, Aberdeen AB12 4PF, UK 4 Grant Institute of Earth Science, University of Edinburgh, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JW, UK ABSTRACT The Assynt Culmination of the Moine Thrust Belt, in the northwest Scottish Highlands, contains a variety of Caledonian alkaline and calc-alkaline intrusions that are mostly of Silurian age. These include a significant but little-studied suite of dykes and sills, the Northwest Highlands Minor Intrusion Suite. We describe the structural relationships of these minor intrusions and suggest a classification into seven swarms. The majority of the minor intrusions can be shown to pre-date movement in the Moine Thrust Belt, but some appear to have been intruded duringthe period of thrusting.A complex history of magmatism is thus recorded within this part of the Moine Thrust Belt. New geochemical data provide evidence of a subduction-related component in the mantle source of the minor intrusions. KEYWORDS: Assynt, Caledonian, minor intrusion, Moine Thrust, Scotland. Introduction north of Assynt, to the Achall valley near Ullapool, but they are most abundant in the Assynt area.

    GEOLOGICAL GROUP, IPSWICH. JULY 1969 BULLETIN No. 6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIELDTRIP TO CORNWALL AND SOUTH DEVON, SEPTEMBER 1968. The primary object of the fieldtrip to Cornwall and South Devon on 14-19 September1968 was to visit the St. Erth Beds (near Hayle, Cornwall), the fauna of which is probably of Crag age (s.l.). Two members had visited the site on a previous occasion. Informal discussions were held and it was decided to travel by van and to camp at our destination. Two vans (a 15-cwt. and a 5-cwt.) were available and tents and cooking equipment were hired from the Ipswich Education Office (Mr. Britten of their staff was most helpful), supplemented by members equipment. A meeting was held a few days before departure, and members were given the itinerary and a list of personal and domestic items thought desirable. Each person was also required to bring a certain amount of food, e,g. jam, baked beans, butter, sugar, tinned meat - this was given with enough generosity that our estimated food bills were to be cut considerably. A tent- pitching practise was held the day before leaving. Nine people (Messrs. C. Garrod, P. Grainger, T. Jones, S. MacFarlane and R. Markham, and the Misses P. Cresswell M. Daniels, S. Giles, and L. Hyde) formed the final party. Their equipment was collected some hours before departure, and participants met in the town centre, that the vans could leave Ipswich at 11p.m. on Saturday 14 September. After driving through the night, Sunday breakfast was obtained in Salisbury, before pressing on to Okehampton and our first geological stop.
