  • TORRY STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT 2016 October 2016 V3.5
    TORRY STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT 2016 October 2016 V3.5 An analysis of the demand for public services within the Torry neighbourhood. This document considers past and current trends, emerging issues, challenges and opportunities that will impact on public services delivery. 1. Introduction This Strategic Assessment has been produced on behalf of Community Planning Aberdeen and aims to be a comprehensive analysis of the demand, supply and delivery of services in the Torry neighbourhood. The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 places Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) on a statutory footing and imposes duties on them around the planning and delivery of local outcomes, and the involvement of community bodies at all stages of community planning. Tackling inequalities will be a specific focus, and CPPs have to produce “locality plans” at a more local level for areas experiencing particular disadvantage. In June 2016 Community Planning Aberdeen endorsed a proposal to develop plans for three localities: Locality A (pop. Locality B (pop. Locality C (pop. Approx. 10,500) Approx. 20,500) Approx. 15,000) Torry Middlefield Seaton Mastrick Tillydrone Cummings Park Woodside Northfield Heathryfold The Strategic Assessment looks at past and current trends across a wide range of community planning themes. It considers previous community consultations, emerging issues and future trends and seeks to identify, assess and thereafter allow the Community Planning Partnership to undertake evidence-based prioritisation and planning within the Torry locality. The strategic assessment has been structured around the Economy, People, and Place themes to retain consistency with the Local Outcome Improvement Plan and to ensure that there are clear links between the strategic vision and priorities for the city and those of individual communities.

NNaavvyy,, NNGGAA,, GGEEBBCCOO Data SIO, NOAA, U.S. Navy, NGA, GEBCO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aberdeen Harbour is Europe’s premier marine support centre for the energy industry and the main commercial port serving North East Scotland. The harbour was founded in 1136, and with a near-900 year history, is the oldest existing business in the UK. This document sets out our vision for the future of Aberdeen Harbour. It is an ambitious and transformational vision which articulates how we will continue to diversify our business and lead Scotland’s energy transition from oil and gas over the next 30 years to 2050 and beyond. There is an economic and environmental imperative in Scotland to diversify from North Sea oil and gas to meet the Scottish Government’s target of Net Zero Carbon by 2045. This shift to diversify our economy and reduce Scotland’s environmental footprint will require significant commitment, investment and collaboration between the public and private sectors and Aberdeen Harbour has a pivitol role to play.
