Scottish Water’s Group Plan and Supporting the Hydro Nation .. 43 2 Overview This update to our Delivery Plan is submitted to Scottish Ministers for approval. It highlights those areas where the content of our original Delivery Plan for the 2015-21 period, and the updates provided subsequently, have been revised. We have taken the opportunity to set out key highlights of our progress so far and to confirm the investment agreed with the Output Monitoring Group through the rolling investment review 2018 (IR18) to improve drinking water quality, Overview protect and enhance the environment and support economic development. Key highlights of our progress In our 2015 Delivery Plan we stated that we are determined to deliver significant further improvements for our customers and out-perform our commitments. As we conclude the third year of the 2015-21 period we continue to achieve this ambition. Key highlights of our progress so far include: • We have successfully driven up household customer satisfaction and driven down the number of complaints. As a result, our household Customer Experience Measure (hCEM) has risen further this year to 86.4 at December 2017, well above our Delivery Plan target of 82.6. • Since the start of the regulatory period in 2015 we have reduced the level of customer complaints by 42% with an increase in the level of customer satisfaction from 88.0% at the end of 2014/15 to 91.1% by December 2017; • Service levels to Licensed Providers have improved with year-to-date performance up to 97% of requests processed on time, above our target of 95%. We are trialling the measurement of the service experience of our non-household customers and Licensed Providers through a separate CEM, the non-household Customer Experience Measure and propose that our outturn score in 2017/18 be set as the baseline to improve on for the remainder of the regulatory period. • We are maintaining momentum in our investment delivery; over half our programme, around 1,650 projects, has already started on site; • Since April 2015 we have delivered over £1.5 billion of investment and are investing on average over £53 million a month. As a result, our Overall Measure of Delivery score at the end of December 2017 is already well above our Delivery Plan year-end target of 126 points; • We have completed the boring of the 5 kilometre-long Shieldhall waste water tunnel in the south of Glasgow. The tunnel is part of the biggest upgrade of the city’s waste water network in more than a century; • We have worked with stakeholders to agree our IR18 investment plan with the Output Monitoring Group; 3 • The water quality we delivered to our customers’ taps in 2017 continued to outperform levels delivered in previous regulatory periods, and remains well above our Delivery Plan target; • We have delivered further leakage reduction in 2017/18, continuing to out-perform the target level set in the Final Determination for the end of the regulatory period; • We continue to support new housing and economic growth across the length and breadth of Scotland. In the first 3 years of the period we will Overview have connected over 64,000 new properties to our network against our Delivery Plan forecast of 56,500; • We now generate and host twice the amount of renewable electricity than we consume in our operations; and we have reduced our carbon footprint per household from 115 (kg CO 2e) in 2014/15 to 100 (kg CO 2e) in 2016/17; • Through our financial planning and innovation, we are continuing to outperform the challenging financial limits set out in the Final Determination 2014 and now forecast a closing cash balance in March 2021 of £76 million compared to our 2015 Delivery Plan forecast of £40 million; • Charge levels for 2018/19 will rise by 1.6% for household customers. The financial forecasts in this update assume charge increases of 1.6% in 2019/20 and 0% in 2020/21 in line with the regulatory settlement for the 2015/21 period. However, during 2018 we will explore the merit of smoothing charge levels into the next regulatory period in line with the Water Industry Commission’s initial decision papers for the Strategic Review of Charges 2021-27; and • We implemented charging at vacant properties on 1 April 2017 and have worked extensively with the water retail market to implement charging on the basis of ‘current rateable values’ from 1 April 2018. This update to our Delivery Plan builds on our success to date and remains ambitious. We have delivered strong financial out-performance to date on revenue and costs. We are forecasting that this will allow us to manage the pressures and opportunities associated with the investment programme within the price limits set out in the 2014 Final Determination and the agreed borrowing of £760 million from the Scottish Government. 4 1. Delivering for our customers Our plan has been established to ensure that we maintain the high service levels that we have been delivering and will further improve services in those areas identified as a priority by our customers. Here we set out updates on the key high level customer service metrics. Customer Experience Measure (CEM) We introduced our household Customer Experience Measure (hCEM) to ensure that the delivery of service to our customers continues to sit at the heart of what we do and be a key driver of our performance. Our commitment is to improve on the score of 82.6 (out of 100). Since the start of the regulatory period all components of the hCEM have seen an improvement in performance, in particular we have reduced the level of customer complaints by 42%. The level of customer satisfaction has increased from 88.0% at the end of 2014/15 to 91.1% by December 2017; a significant improvement in overall satisfaction. Improvements have been achieved by reviewing all customer feedback that indicates where our service could be improved, intervening to prevent issues escalating, managing a programme of proactive communication with customers and learning lessons to improve our performance. As a result our hCEM at December 2017 is 86.4, well above our Delivering our for customers Delivery Plan target of 82.6. We are trialling the measurement of the service experience of our non- household customers and Licensed Providers through a separate CEM, the non- household Customer Experience Measure. We propose that our outturn score in 2017/18 be set as the baseline to improve on for the remainder of the regulatory period. We are determined to achieve year on year improvements in the service experience to our non-household customers. Overall Performance Assessment (OPA) In our 2015 Delivery Plan we set out our commitment to achieve an OPA score at, or above, the threshold for leading water and waste water companies, (380 points in 2015/16 rising to 385 points by 2020/21), and our aspiration to be best in class, achieving an equivalent OPA score at, or above, 400 points. We are again on track to exceed our 2015 Delivery Plan OPA commitment and be close to our aspiration to be ‘best in class’. 5 Customer Trust We are pleased that the water industry in Scotland continues to be the most trusted sector among Scottish consumers, (WHICH? Sept ’17). We continue to benchmark our level of service through the Institute of Customer Service’s UK Customer Satisfaction Index (UKCSI) survey to understand customers perceptions of our service experience compared to other services in Scotland. Retail Market Developments Activity in the retail market has continued to grow in recent years with 27 Licensed Providers now operating in Scotland and more than half of the market having switched provider since market opening in 2008. We continue to refine our wholesale service, with the first release of our Ascend customer experience programme already delivering a more efficient, responsive and automated service to Licensed Providers with further enhancements planned in future releases. Service levels to Licensed Providers have improved with year-to-date performance up to 97% of requests processed on time, above our target of 95%. From April 2017 water and waste water charges have applied at vacant non- household properties, aligning with the existing charging policy for households. We are working closely with the market to improve the quality of market data and to support the smooth implementation of this change. Delivering our for customers The rateable value used in the calculation of some elements of the water and waste water charges for business customers will be aligned with the current values used for business rates from April 2018. The impact of the changes will be phased in over 3 years, April 2018 to April 2020. Safety, Health and Wellbeing We are proud to have achieved the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) United Kingdom Water Industry sector award for four years out of the last six. Over recent years, we have made real improvement in our health, safety and wellbeing performance achieving lost-time accident rates amongst the lowest in the UK Water Industry. However we believe that there is no acceptable reason for anyone to be injured or to suffer ill-health as a result of work, no matter how infrequent.

DESCRIPTION Allanton is located just over 7 miles from Duns and just under 10 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed. The population of Allanton in the 2001 Census was 86. The village is located within the Eastern Strategic Development Area (SDA) as defined by the SESplan. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Allanton is located above the riverbanks of the Blackadder Water and Whiteadder Water which meet just north of the village. The character of Allanton is largely defined by the fact that it developed as an estate village of Blackadder House; splay fronted lodges display the old entrance and the village has developed around them in a linear fashion along the road.

Resilient Communities 1.1 What is a Resilient Community? Resilient Communities is an initiative supported by local, scottish, and the UK Governments, the principles of which are, communities and individuals harnessing and developing local response and expertise to help themselves during an emergency in a way that complements the response of the emergency responders. Emergencies happen, and these can be severe weather, floods, fires, or major incidents involving transport etc. Preparing your community and your family for these types of events will make it easier to recover following the impact of an emergency. Being aware of the risks that you as a community or family may encounter, and who within your community might be able to assist you, could make your community better prepared to cope with an emergency. Local emergency responders will always have to prioritise those in greatest need during an emergency, especially where life is in danger.

It is largely the fruit of many pleasant hours of botanising by the author and a few others and as such reflects their particular interests. History of Plant Recording Peeblesshire is thinly populated and has had few resident botanists to record its flora. Also its upland terrain held little in the way of dramatic features or geology to attract outside botanists. Consequently the first list of the county’s flora with any pretension to completeness only became available in 1925 with the publication of the History of Peeblesshire (Eds, JW Buchan and H Paton). For this FRS Balfour and AB Jackson provided a chapter on the county’s flora which included a list of all the species known to occur. The first records were made by Dr A Pennecuik in 1715. He gave localities for 30 species and listed 8 others, most of which are still to be found. Thereafter for some 140 years the only evidence of interest is a few specimens in the national herbaria and scattered records in Lightfoot (1778), Watson (1837) and The New Statistical Account (1834-45).

There had been circulated copies of the Minute of the Meeting of 8 February 2010. DECISION APPROVED for signature by the Chairman. PLANNING BRIEF - CLOVENFORDS 2. With reference to paragraph 2 of the Minute of 14 September 2010, there had been circulated copies of a report by the Head of Planning and Building Standards seeking approval for the Planning Brief for Clovenfords West. The report explained that the finalised planning brief presented to Committee included access from the A72. The recommendation was made due to the responses received during the public consultation which highlighted constraints related to the access from the B710 over the Caddon Water. SEPA recommended no development to take place on the functional flood plain. To minimise the impact on the environment the finalised brief included only a pedestrian/cycle bridge over the burn. A number of representations from the local community raised roads issues related with access to the B710. The main vehicular access from the A72 was also in line with the Reporter’s recommendation to the Council after the Local Plan Inquiry in 2007.

  • Assessment of the Scottish Borders Local Plan in Terms of the Need for Appropriate Assessment
    APPENDIX F: ASSESSMENT OF THE SCOTTISH BORDERS LOCAL PLAN IN TERMS OF THE NEED FOR APPROPRIATE ASSESSMENT Appendix F. Assessment of the Scottish Borders Local Plan in Terms of the Need for Appropriate Assessment. Purpose To advise Council on the output from assessing the Local Plan in terms of the need for Appropriate Assessment and to agree that this report is sent to the Scottish Ministers as part of the Council’s submission on the Local Plan. Background Policy Context A recent European Court ruling has confirmed that Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive applies to Development Plans. Where a Local Plan is likely to have a significant effect on a European site it should be subject to an Appropriate Assessment of the implications for the site’s conservation objectives. The Scottish Executive produced Interim Guidance entitled “Assessing Development Plans in Terms of the Need for Appropriate Assessment” in May 2006. This outlines why consideration of this is necessary, what steps are required and how the Scottish Government and Scottish Natural Heritage can assist. In the future the Scottish Government intend to supersede this guidance by amending The Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994 (“Habitats Regs”). The Scottish Borders Local Plan does not need a Strategic Environmental Assessment. This is because the Strategic Environmental Assessment Gateway granted the Planning Authority exemption in spring 2006 in acknowledgement of the substantial consideration of environmental issues and public consultation. Natura Sites Natura Sites are the collective term for internationally designated nature conservation sites including Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA) and Ramsar sites.
