    Dumfries and Galloway Council LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2 Whithorn Conservation Area Character Appraisal Draft Supplementary Guidance - January 2018 draft www.dumgal.gov.uk draft This conservation area character appraisal was first adopted as supplementary planning guidance to the Wigtown Local Plan. That plan has been replaced by the Local Development Plan (LDP) which is reviewed every 5 years. The conservation area character appraisal is considered by the Council to remain relevant and so will be readopted as Supplementary Guidance to LDP2. Policy HE2: Conservation Areas ties the conservation area character appraisal to LDP2.

  • Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance
    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 7.16 Corridor 16: Stranraer to North West England and beyond 7.16.1 Setting the Context Corridor 16 extends from Stranraer across to the northwest of England, approximately 157 kilometres in length The corridor follows a largely east-west alignment, serving the regional centre of Dumfries and the settlements of Newton Stewart, Castle Douglas, Annan and Gretna, and providing links to Carlisle across the border and beyond. The corridor is largely rural with small settlements. The extent of the corridor and the location of the main settlements are shown in Figure 7.16.1. The corridor has a total population 106,500699, which is forecast to remain unchanged between 2005 and 2022699. At the same time, the number of households in the area is forecast to increase by approximately 4,000, a rise of eight per cent699. Much of the pressure for housing development is concentrated in the larger towns such as Dumfries, Stranraer and Annan which also act as employment and service centres700. The traditional agriculture and manufacturing sectors are facing decline and tourism is predicted to play an important role in the future local economy. Settlements which are close to the A74 (M) benefit from being able to access wider markets which could generate business employment opportunities. The ports of Cairnryan and Stranraer provide frequent and heavily used ferry services between Scotland and Northern Ireland. Stena Line, who currently use the port of Stranraer, are progressing with plans for a new ferry port development on Loch Ryan.

  • Final Report – All Machars Guide and Calendar 2011
    Whithorn and district Business Association, ALL MACHARS GUIDE – FINAL REPORT FOR LEADER The aim of this project was to publish a visitor guidebook which would ● Provide small businesses with access to markets outside the Machars, since most are micro businesses without funds for marketing; this was to be achieved using professional distribution companies with displays and pick up points throughout the South of Scotland, north of England and Northern Ireland ● Create a new look for the Machars, which would be attractive, professional and recognisable in the future ● Link all communities in the Machars, which have rarely, if ever, worked together, and thereby create a critical mass of attractions and businesses; this would increase the length of visits and attract greater visitor spend ● Provide a simple, easy-to-use guide for visitors, as an overview for the area, as an addition to the large numbers of individual leaflets and booklets available ● Create working relationships and links between Machars community groups, which has been lacking in the past and which could leave a legacy of networks to be used in future projects This project has been a story of success, after initial setbacks and doubts: the project has come in under-budget and on time; by happy chance, 75,000 have been printed ( instead of the planned 60,000) and are being distributed, while remining under the original budget estimate. Demand has been strong, and in some cases difficult to keep up with, particularly from the professional tourism industry – TIC's ( Tourist Information Centres ) have been exceptionally keen to have further supplies.
