  • Supplementary Written Submission from Community Land Scotland
    Local Government and Communities Committee Planning (Scotland) Bill Supplementary Written Submission from Community Land Scotland Dear Jane, I’m writing on behalf of Community Land Scotland to thank the Committee for the opportunity to participate in the Planning (Scotland) Bill evidence session at its meeting on February 28th and to provide further information in that regard. The Policy Memorandum for the Planning (Scotland) Bill articulates an ambition to shift planning from reacting to development proposals to proactively supporting investment and quality place-making. As discussed in our evidence session, that requires some vision as to the purpose of the planning system as a mechanism for contributing to the sustainable development of both urban and rural Scotland. Community Land Scotland views the Bill as an important legislative opportunity for Planning Policy to contribute to the renewal of rural Scotland in particular by incorporating our proposals regarding repopulation and resettlement of land. Specifically by: Placing a duty on Scottish Ministers to have regard to the desirability of the repopulation and resettlement of rural Scotland; Giving Ministers powers to designate land for the purposes of its resettlement; Giving Ministers and others (local authorities) powers to purchase land for the purpose of its resettlement; including compulsory purchase powers; Requiring Ministers to produce or cause to produce a map of ‘no longer existing communities’ to which they may have regard in preparing future policy; Requiring Ministers

The first was in relation to the Change Fund and the second in relation to the MCA consultation on the future of the Coastguard Service. He stated that the Coastguard Review had commenced since the last meeting of the Community Planning Partnership in December 2010. Given the time sensitive nature of the responses, the issue had been discussed at the Executive Group. It was noted that a Task Group had been established locally to lobby for the retention of the local Coastguard Service and the group was working on an alternative proposal as a response to the consultation. The review proposed that either Stornoway or Shetland be reduced to a daylight operation and the other discontinued. The Chairman advised that initial discussions with the Minister had suggested that alternative models would be considered.

Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.
