  • 3 Alternatives Considered

    3 Alternatives Considered

    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement Part A: The Scheme 3 Alternatives Considered 3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 This chapter provides an outline of the development of the AWPR including an overview of the assessment work that has been undertaken in the selection of a preferred route and a summary of the objectives of the proposed scheme. 3.2 Background 3.2.1 As described in Chapter 2 (Need for the Scheme), a peripheral route around Aberdeen has been considered since the 1950s, and in the 1990s a western leg route corridor was proposed (the Western Peripheral Route; WPR). The WPR as identified by Grampian Regional Council and its successor authorities was subsequently extended to link with the A90 north of Aberdeen by NESTRANS. The route corridor comprising the WPR and this additional link was named the AWPR and in April 2003 was adopted and promoted by the Scottish Executive as a Trunk Road within a funding partnership of the Scottish Executive, Aberdeen City Council, and Aberdeenshire Council. 3.2.2 The AWPR was refined within this corridor from April 2003 until December 2004, when Transport Scotland requested that consideration be given to additional corridors. In December 2005, following consideration of the alternative corridors, including public consultation held in Spring 2005, the Minister for Transport announced that the AWPR would be taken forward on the Milltimber Brae Route with a Fastlink to Stonehaven. 3.2.3 Various options have been considered at each of the stages described above. The option consideration process included production of many reports and papers that set out the engineering, economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages of alternative routes and corridors.

    Meikle Carewe Wind Farm Community Fund RES Has Established A

    Meikle Carewe Wind Farm Community Fund RES has established a community fund which will see more than £20,500 available to support local community projects every year during the lifetime of the Meikle Carewe Wind Farm. The fund is administered by Kincardine & Mearns Area Partnership (KMAP), and managed by a decision making panel made up of members of the local Community Councils in the area covered by the fund. The community fund is open to applications from groups and projects which benefit the communities living in the following Community Council areas: Crathes, Drumoak & Durris Newtonhill, Muchalls & Cammachmore North Kincardine Rural Portlethen & District Stonehaven & District The first round of the fund opened for applications on 1st September 2013 for a three month period, closing 30th November 2013. A total of 29 applications were received in this period, requests for funding which met the funding criteria totalling £58,187.53 (see appendix 1; funding per Community Council area, appendix 2; total funding applications). Applications were distributed to the Decision Making Panel members for consideration prior to the Decision Making Panel meeting on Monday 16th December 2013. Applications which met criteria of the fund were broken down into the geographic areas. There was an aspiration to split 75% of the fund equally between the five Community Council areas, if applications meeting the criteria were received to enable that to happen. This year the fund was distributed between only four of the Community Council areas as there were no applications from Portlethen & District which fully met the funding criteria. All applicants were informed by letter of the outcome of their funding application.

Mandy recapped what had happened at the meeting in December. Mandy then advised that as requested they had visited 8 adjacent properties and learned that the owner of one property had emigrated, one neighbour they had been unable to contact, one was neutral to the application and 5 were in favour of same. Dave Bayliss then advised that whilst selling 300 Club tickets, he had visited 16 properties in the Kirkton and learned that 6 were supportive of the application, 8 were neutral and 2 were opposed. One concern which was expressed by residents was the increase in the volume of traffic in and through the village, the safety of children in the village with no real speed restrictions in place and the added traffic that more houses in the village might generate. Rob Winmill added that he had spoken to a resident who intimated that they would object, on similar grounds to those above, and that there were already 6 other houses ear-marked for the village, adjacent to the location of this site.
