The approach has been to outline the characteristics of the site including development constraints and opportunities. We have used this information to develop a deliverable outline proposal for the new settlement at Blindwells. Author ARCHITECTS + MASTERPLANNERS EMA Architects + Masterplanners ema 7 6 1.1: PURPOSE OF THE MASTERPLAN The purpose of the masterplan for Blindwells, East Lothian is to develop a well informed, integrated and creative solution for residential development on the site which has been identified within the East Lothian Local Plan for housing. The masterplan accords with the measures set out within the Development Framework for the site and Phase One of the masterplan has already been submitted for Planning Permission in Principle. This document illustrates how Phase Two can continue and PHASE TWO enhance the design objectives proposed in the initial phase to deliver a coherent and deliverable masterplan. A1 PHASE ONE ALLOCATED SITE 1.2: CORE OBJECTIVES The core objectives of the masterplan are to: A198 / RAILWAY Provide appropriate physical environments to support strong communities Support a rich and pleasurable quality of life for inhabitants and visitors Connect people and places by providing ease of movement within, and through developments ARCHITECTS + MASTERPLANNERS Create places of distinction and enduring quality. ema View South East 9 8 2.0 : CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS 2.1: THE SITE Phase Two of the Blindwells masterplan consists of approximately 82.5 hectares of land. The second phase of the masterplan sits to the east of land previously submitted for Planning Permission in Principle and forms a continuation of the proposed new settlement at Blindwells. The site is bounded to the north by the A198 and east coast railway line and to the south by the A1. To the north of the A198 beyond the farmland lies predominantly two storey residential developments within Cockenzie and Port Seton. To the south and east there is open farmland and to the West lies Meadowmill Sports centre and thereafter Prestonpans. Access to the site will be from A198 to the west and south west off the Bankton interchange. These are well linked with the A1 and A198 providing good access to local amenities and the existing public transport network. The site itself was used for open cast mining and evidence of PHASE ONE PHASE TWO this remains on site today. ARCHITECTS + MASTERPLANNERS ema Extract from East Lothian Local Plan 2008 11 10 2.2: NEIGHBOURHOOD CONTEXT LONGNIDDRY PORT SETON 2.3: IMMEDIATE CONTEXT COCKENZIE North - A198 / East coast railway line The Blindwells site lies immediately to the north east of Tranent. It sits approximately 30 minutes by The A198 is a single carriageway road which is primarily used to serve the foot to the coast. Due to the current use of the land housing areas to the north and south towards the east coast and Edinburgh. there is no planting on the site worthy of retention. Alongside the road runs the East Coast Main Line (ECML) which links Edinburgh There are, however, significant landscape and other A198 to London and is electrified along the whole route. No houses front onto this features at the site’s boundaries and more widely road it is lined by the railway line on one side and trees on the other. This around it that define the landscape characteristics creates quite a rural environment with gateways into development pockets of the area. and a green edge supplemented by the trees. West - A198 / Meadowmill To the West the A198 connects the A1 and Tranent to the coastal trail to the north and the nearby towns. It is lined by trees on both sides and bridges over the ECML. The small area of Meadowmill is also located here which houses the PHASE TWO 800 m 1600 m 2400 m B listed St Joseph’s School with gates and gate piers, the East Lothian Golfing PHASE ONE SITE 10 minute walk 20 minute walk 30 minute walk range and Meadowmill Sports Centre. PRESTONPANS South - A1 The A1 is the main dual carriageway that connects Edinburgh and the West to the East coast and the South to England. The road has a timber fence along this stretch of the site which will be enhanced through the development. A1 Proposed open space / countryside The site is also exposed along the eastern boundary to the open countryside. A1 Again supplementary planting will be required to define the edge of settlement, protect key views and provide shelter from the elements and this can be achieved through a landscape framework. ARCHITECTS + MASTERPLANNERS TRANENT ema CONTEXT DIAGRAM MACMERRY 13 12 2.4: VIEWS 2.4: VIEWS Views can be obtained from the proposed development site which will be key to the development and success of the new neighbourhood in this area. These are the views towards the coast, which will be visible from the north of the new settlement and longer views towards the Firth of Forth with Cockenzie power station in view. It will also be possible to see Berwick Law from the development site. Cockenzie 1. VIEW TOWARDS EDINBURGH AND ARTHUR SEAT Power Station and Berwick Law will be visible throughout the development however the Forth will only be visible from the higher parts of the site, these key views serve to locate the proposed development and will contribute to the sense of place and identity. 3. PHASE ONE PHASE TWO FUTURE PHASE 4. 1. 2. VIEW TOWARDS COCKENZIE POWER STATION 2. AND FIRTH OF FORTH 4. VIEW TOWARDS NORTH BERWICK 3. VIEW TOWARDS NORTH BERWICK LAW ARCHITECTS + MASTERPLANNERS ema LOCATION OF VIEWPOINTS 15 14 2.5: CHARACTER + IDENTITY 2.5: CHARACTER + IDENTITY The site is currently defined by its open nature and sloping topography. The character and identity of the surrounding areas are created by pockets of low density residential developments which have been built up during different periods of East Lothian’s history. These developments have a wide variety of styles and character but are predominantly two storey with pitched roofs. Some of the housing fronts onto the street whilst others turn their back creating more intimate / introverted developments. There are a number of Historical Buildings and features surrounding the application site which also serve to define this area such as the battle of Prestonpans, St Germains, Seton Collegiate Church and St Joseph’s Cottages. EXISTING LOCHAN ON SITE OF PHASE ONE HOUSING AT MEADOWMILL The masterplan should respond to these positive features from the nearby towns and the surroundings - taking precedent from existing streetscapes whilst creating new residential streets and routes through the new settlement. Features such as new Local Centre, Town Park and proposed open space will provide opportunities for the new settlement to integrate into the community. The result should be a special place which contributes to East Lothian’s rich architectural tradition by creating a new 21st century neighbourhood which fully respects its location, history and context.

The site has good access to public transport networks, these connections should be enhanced by the new development by providing routes to and through the site encouraging permeability not only for future residents but for the surrounding community as a whole.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans Designation
    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.

NB This publication was originally issued in the A4 format then used by the society. It has now been digitised and reformatted at A5. This has changed the original pagination of articles, which is given in square brackets. ISSN 0309-2199 THE COAL OF GLADSMUIR W.S. HARVEY SYNOPSIS The writer brings to light - through the medium of an old accounts book - details of mine drainage, labour force, ventilation and day to day business of a small mid 18C colliery in East Lothian, Scotland. In the archive of the University of Glasgow is a small book containing the accounts of the Coal of Gladsmuir for the period June 1759 to December 1962.1 It was not bound as a ledger but was ruled as such and on each double page was entered the week’s business:- the earnings from the coal sold at the pithead; the wages paid to the colliers and the oncost workers; and the value of the coal sold on credit: the “trusted coal”. A system of double entry was used as may be seen from Fig.l. There are no annual summaries, so it is probable that the balances were carried forward to another account kept by the colliery owner. FIG 1. An Account of the Coal of Gladsmuir from October 13th to the 20th.

  • Battle of Prestonpans
    THE BATTLE OF PRESTONPANS Edward’s march through England. The scene was set for a triumphant entry into London. If only he had known the mood of the city, if only he had marched on, the history of Europe might have been substantially different. But Charles did not know. All he knew was that Hanoverian troops had been sent for from the continent. But these troops were slow moving, something that even Murray failed to capitalise on. Field Marshall Wade started his move in Newcastle but with few provisions and scant cash. By the time he arrived at Ripon, he was considered to be only a minor threat. Cumberland, in charge of Ligonier’s forces, marched from Newcastle-Under-Lyme as far as Coventry and it was now that the Jacobites played a game of checkers with Cumberland. Murray and Charles decided to split their army in two, with Murray feigning a march to Congleton towards Wales. Turning east, Murray and his army crossed the Bow hills to Leek, where they rejoined Charles’ troops and then advanced unchecked to Derby. Cumberland and his allies had been outmanoeuvred and found themselves facing a ghost army at Stone. Cumberland waited for the Jacobites in vain with his exhausted troops facing the chill of the wind and the coming winter without shelter while in Derby the Jacobites were sleeping in proper beds paid out of Charles’ exchequer. And on Finchley Common, what little was left of the Hanoverian troops, quite untrained in the art of warfare, were gathering for what was probably to be their last confrontation with the Jacobite army.
