The priorities and associated actions within the Plan have been developed through community engagement and by looking at evidence for the area to assess where needs lie and how partnership working can help to address these. All priorities have been considered by the Buchan Community Planning Group which includes development trusts - Buchan Development Partnership and Peterhead Projects Ltd, voluntary sector partners such as Buchan Community Safety Group, Modo and Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action, along with the statutory agencies of Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, NHS Grampian and Aberdeenshire Council, working in conjunction with local communities including community councils & associations. These actions will be delivered through us all working together, by pooling resources and sharing knowledge. This Plan will support the delivery of a number of initiatives around Welfare Reform, Employability and Health, as well as supporting community facilities, events and activities. In addition to this we will work together using the results from recent community engagement work around “Choose Peterhead” and “Peterhead Your Voice Your Choice” Participatory Budgeting which has provided direction from the community on how they would like to see the Town Centre developed and the projects they would like to see taken forward to improve health and wellbeing in their communities. We hope you enjoy reading the plan and that it informs you about what we are doing to improve Buchan. We also hope that you will let us have your ideas on any needs within your community and new priorities that should be considered for the future. If you wish to discuss any of the items please do get in touch by phone or email or by writing to the address on the back of the Plan. To ensure that the Plan is responsive to local needs and issues, the Buchan Community Planning Group are committed to updating the plan on-line, on a regular basis, to allow new actions to be added as they are developed and completed ones removed. 2 Local Community Plan Buchan 2016 -2019 In Buchan we are very fortunate to have a strong commitment from front-line staff and management in the Community Planning partner agencies, but also a tremendous contribution from communities and community organisations. We thank you for all you are already doing to improve the quality of life in this area and invite you to join us in achieving this Plan’s aims by working together for the good of everyone in Buchan. Chris White Buchan Area Manager Chair of the Buchan Community Planning Group 3 Local Community Plan 2016 -2019 Buchan Board members of the Buchan Development Partnership. Executive Summary This edition of the Buchan Community Plan 2016 – 2019 brings together input from a wide range of Community Planning Partners, Elected Members and most importantly local Communities. It outlines key actions to be taken forward working together in partnership to help meet local needs and priorities over a three year period and is therefore a key strategic document for the area. This Plan is committed to deliver outcomes on behalf of Buchan for the Aberdeenshire Single outcome Agreement which represent a key component of strengthened community planning as set out in the joint Scottish Government/CoSLA Statement of Ambition. 4 Local Community Plan Buchan 2016 -2019 In order to achieve the Community Planning Partners’ vision of the best quality of life for everyone in Buchan, this edition of the Buchan Community Plan focuses on the following set of long term priority outcomes to be delivered with and for local communities: • Priority 1 – Empowered Communities • Priority 2 – Healthier Communities • Priority 3 – Safer Communities • Priority 4 – Stronger Communities This Plan has been shaped and developed using engagement and consultation with local communities, from information and knowledge shared by organisations working within the area and from statistical information of the Buchan Strategic Assessment which has demonstrated current trends and emerging priorities. We have also considered changes which may affect the outcome of priorities in the future so that these may be incorporated within future planning and delivery of actions. Working in partnership to deliver this Plan, we will also incorporate the legislation coming from the Community Empowerment Act (2015) and this will help to inform how we work with communities in the future to deliver our key priorities and their outcomes. We have already started this process through Participatory Budgeting which enables communities to have more say about the local services & initiatives they would like to see developed and through consultation methods such as Community Action Plans which engage and empower communities to help them identify priorities for their area. Buchan Community Planning Partnership is committed to promoting equalities, and through the Single outcome Agreement approach, all Community Planning Partners have committed to embedding equalities in their service delivery. Local outcomes will seek to promote equality of opportunity across Buchan and will contribute to the indicators that have been developed to monitor progress. 5 Local Community Plan 2016 -2019 Buchan Photograph © William McNeil Photography The Buchan Area Overview The Buchan area comprises a mix of farms, villages and important industrial areas. Peterhead is the largest town in Aberdeenshire, the principal white fish landing port in Europe, and a major oil industry service centre. Peterhead is one of the UK’s most versatile ports, serving a broad range of industries including oil and gas, renewables, fishing and leisure. Equally important are the nearby gas terminal at St Fergus and the Peterhead Power Station. 6 Local Community Plan Buchan 2016 -2019 The future of the energy and engineering sectors remains vibrant and Peterhead’s role at the top of the Energetica corridor sets the tone for realising this future potential and has attracted a total of £260m in its first five years. Inland, the area is dependent upon agriculture. Whilst housing developments have continued, there has been a minor decline in rural services. Population and Demographics With an estimated population of 40,300 people, the residents of Buchan make up 15.6% of Aberdeenshire’s total estimated population (257,740). Buchan’s population continues to increase and has risen gradually over the past decade. The population is estimated to have increased in size by 4.3% since 2002. The demographics of the population have shifted over the past decade: 7 Local Community Plan 2016 -2019 Buchan • The total working age population has been decreasing since 2010 • The number of children (15 and under) is 9.1% lower than in 2002 and continues to fall • The number of pensionable age individuals is 27.2% higher than in 2002 and continues to increase • There are now slightly higher levels of older people than children in Buchan. (Source: National Records of Scotland – Revised Mid-Year estimates 2002-2013) Environment Buchan has a good quality of natural environment. The 48-kilometre coastline comprises of sandy bays, dunes and rocky foreshores of national significance. The Loch of Strathbeg and the Bullers of Buchan are internationally significant sites for bird life. The built heritage is rich and varied, including traditional croft houses, outstanding conservation areas in Strichen and the centre of Peterhead, and some fine examples of great country houses. There is earlier interest also, including Deer Abbey and several intact stone circles. Tourism

  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • Projects Funded
    NorthConnect Legacy Fund Summary of Awards 2017-2020 Between 2017 and 2020, £59,907 has been awarded by the NorthConnect Legacy Fund to community groups benefiting the Fund area. Some examples showing the range of activities funded are shown below, followed by a full list of awards. Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust: Rescue boat engine In 2017, the Fund awarded Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust £1,000 towards a rescue boat engine to support activities taking place at the Trust’s Peterhead centre. The cover provided by the rescue boat meant that the Trust was able to deliver taster sessions for schools, RYA courses, race training and RYA junior sailing courses. The boat supported disabled schools sailing and weekly disability club. 538 people of various ages benefited. The vital role of the rescue boat was highlighted in an incident in September 2019, when a sudden squall caused three dinghies to capsize, throwing ten teenage sailors into the water. This prompted the emergency services to launch a large scale response, involving helicopters and lifeboats. However, the Trust’s instructors were able to use the rescue boat to get everybody quickly and safely ashore without injury or the assistance of emergency services. Following the incident, the Buchan Coastguard issued a statement saying that “This incident had the potential to be far more serious in outcome except for some key factors… We would like to thank those involved for being properly equipped.” Press and Journal; 6 September 2019; Instructors praised as 10 teens rescued from North Sea in ‘violent storms’. Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden In 2017, the Fund awarded the Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden £400 toward fencing and equipment.

  • Issues Raised in Response to the Proposed Local Development Plan and Proposed Submission to Scottish Ministers Appendix 2 Settlement Comments
    ISSUES RAISED IN RESPONSE TO THE PROPOSED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PROPOSED SUBMISSION TO SCOTTISH MINISTERS APPENDIX 2 SETTLEMENT COMMENTS Shaping Buchan – Summary of Schedule 4s Minor technical changes are also proposed to improve the accuracy of information now provided by Scottish Water and SEPA (see Schedule 4 7908). “Schedule 4” documents (so named because of the requirement to follow the form specified by Schedule 4 of the relevant Regulations) have not been produced for those settlements where there have been no representations. Ardallie Main objections raised in representation Number of planned units on site OP1 should be reduced to take into account already submitted proposals. Development of site OP1 should include road upgrades. Response by Planning Authority The approved houses on site OP1 would take up part of the allocation, and no change is required. Upgrading the existing road to an adoptable standard is already required by the development brief. The section of private road heading east from site OP1 is not required to link the site to the public road network so it is not appropriate to require its upgrading. Minor technical change Remove the settlement boundary annotation (which only covers the allocated, protected and reserved sites), for consistency. Auchnagatt Main objections raised in representation Amend OP2 reference to strategic landscaping or extend site OP2 further south to the minor watercourse, so that strategic landscaping can be implemented outwith the allocated area. Response by Planning Authority The reference to strategic landscaping is only a recommendation – the most appropriate position and nature of strategic landscaping would be determined at the planning application stage.
